12. Furkan Korkmaz

February Stats: GP 5| MINS 12.4| FG% 40.0| 3P% 25.0| FT% 100.0| TRB 1.8| AST 0.8| STL 0.6| PF 1.2| TOV 0.4| PTS 4.8

Previous ranking: 11th

This wasn’t Korkmaz’s best month, but it was solid enough. He was competing with the other two players on this slide for playing time. However, his month was cut short when he tore his meniscus. His best game of the month came against the Los Angeles Lakers with seven points, six rebounds, two assists and one steal.

11. James Ennis

February Stats: GP 6| MINS 11.8| FG% 25.0| 3P% 22.2| FT% 100.0| TRB 1.3| AST 0.7| STL 0.2| PF 1.0| TOV 0.5| PTS 2.3

Previous ranking: None

Considering Ennis’ resume, it’s somewhat surprising that the Sixers only had to swap future second round picks with the Houston Rockets to acquire the wing man. Sadly, Ennis didn’t perform at the level he’s been known to produce at. It maybe just that he needs time to adjust to his new team. Hopefully, moving forward he can be more consistent in March. His best game came against the Denver Nuggets, with six points on 2-2 shooting from downtown.

light. Must Read. Brand should be Executive of the Year

10. Jonathon Simmons

February Stats: GP 6| MINS 13.3| FG% 39.1| 3P% 37.5| FT% 63.6| TRB 1.3| AST 1.3| STL 0.8| PF 2.0| TOV 0.8| PTS 4.7

Previous ranking: None

Simmons will always to be linked to the fact that he’s the player that the Sixers got in the trade that sent Markelle Fultz to the Orlando Magic. Beside Simmons, Philly received draft picks in the deal as well. Simmons played well for the 76ers in February, bringing defense and 3-point shooting. Out of Simmons, Ennis and Korkmaz, Simmons made the best case for playing time this past month.
