The Philadelphia 76ers are shifting their attention to the postseason and it’s important to rank everyone that played for them during the regular season.
The playoffs are finally here. It was a long 82 game season for the Philadelphia 76ers. There were plenty of new faces that joined the franchise throughout the season and it seems only appropriate to do a player rankings for the season as a whole.
By doing that, that means these rankings won’t be of just players currently with the franchise, but any player that played at least one game with the 76ers this season. That means players like Jerryd Bayless and Malachi Richardson won’t be in these rankings. Rankings are based on total games played, along with stats and role with the Sixers.
26. Justin Patton
76ers season stats: GP 3| MINS 7.0| FG% 28.6| 3P% 0.0| FT% 50.0| TRB 2.0| AST 1.0| STL 0.7| PF 1.7| PTS 1.7
The center was traded to the Sixers as a part of the Jimmy Butler deal. Justin Patton was recovering from a foot injury for most of the season. He played well for Philly’s G-League affiliate, the Delaware Blue Coats, during and after that recovery process. However, he failed to show he was ready to contribute for a playoff contender. Patton was waived in favor for a veteran center who will show up on this list shortly.
25. Demetrius Jackson
76ers season stats: GP 6| MINS 6.5| FG% 53.3| 3P% 33.3| FT% 100.0| TRB 0.5| AST 0.8| STL 0.3| TO 0.2| PF 0.7| PTS 3.7
The journeyman point guard never really had a chance to stick with the Sixers long term. Philly has their point rotation set and Demetrius Jackson was on a two-way contract. He was getting spot minutes with the 76ers only playing in a hand full of games and spent most of his time with the team’s G-League affiliate, the Delaware Blue Coats. He was eventually waived in January and went on to play overseas.
