6. Landry Shamet

November Stats: GP 16| MINS 23.1| FG% 47.7| 3P% 41.3| FT% 87.5| TRB 1.5| AST 1.3| STL 0.5| BKL 0.1| PF 2.3| TOV 0.5| PTS 9.4

Shamet had arguably been the most valuable floor spacer off the bench for the Sixers for November. He’s showing real potential as the eventual heir to the role that J.J. Redick fills for the team right now. While November was a great month for Shamet, there’s still areas where he can improve. Primarily defense and creating for others are aspects of his game that still need improvement going into December.

5. Mike Muscala

November Stats: GP 13| MINS 25.8| FG% 32.5| 3P% 31.7| FT% 78.4| TRB 4.7| AST 1.5| STL 0.5| BKL 0.4| PF 3.1| TOV 1.2| PTS 7.9

With Saric gone as a result of the Butler trade, Muscala is the only reliable stretch big coming off the bench for the Sixers. He didn’t do too bad as a starter when Brown needed him to be one. It appears as of late, Brown is using him more as a center than a power forward, which has produced good results. Hopefully, Brown continues this trend as the month of December continues to drag out.

4. J.J. Redick

November Stats: GP 16| MINS 30.6| FG% 47.4| 3P% 33.6| FT% 91.5| TRB 1.8| AST 2.9| STL 0.1| BKL 0.1| PF 2.1| TOV 1.8| PTS 18.0

It only seems right that Redick is back in the starting five. He’s still the best floor spacer for the Sixers as of now. Having him as a fourth option on offense has surely helped the shooting guard get a lot more open looks moving forward. As long as he continues to be the sharpshooter he has always been, then his defensive short comings are something the 76ers can live with.
