12. Raul Neto

February Stats: GP 5| MINS 9.5| FG% 7.7| 3P% 0.0| FT% 83.3| TRB 1.7| AST 1.0| STL 0.2| PF 0.3| TOV 0.5| PTS 1.2

Previous ranking: 9th

“Coming to a new team and taking on a different role would explain why his shooting numbers were down in February.”

February wasn’t kind to Raul Neto. He could barely make a shot. In fact, he went 1-13 from the floor for the month. Neto could have used this past month to solidify himself in the rotation, but he couldn’t. It was easily the worse month of his Philadelphia 76ers tenure thus far. Yet for some reason, the Sixers decided to keep him over Burke.

11. Glenn Robinson III

February Stats: GP 7| MINS 15.4| FG% 48.7| 3P% 0.0| FT% 100.0| TRB 2.0| AST 0.9| BKL 0.1| STL 0.9| PF 1.0| TOV 0.3| PTS 5.7

Previous ranking: None

Based on role and production, Glenn Robinson III will probably have a higher ranking in later months. However, as he was acquired at the trade deadline, which hurts his stock in these rankings. Despite being a legit 3-point marksman for the Golden State Warriors, Robinson failed to find his range from during his first month with the 76ers.

10. Alec Burks

February Stats: GP 6| MINS 19.3| FG% 38.2| 3P% 27.3| FT% 88.9| TRB 2.5| AST 1.7| STL 0.3| PF 1.5| TOV 0.5| PTS 9.3

Previous ranking: None

In terms of these rankings, Alec Burks is in the same boat as Robinson. Burks has been used as the de facto backup point guard in the second unit since arriving in Philly, which isn’t his natural position. He’s more of a shooting guard who has some playmaking skills off the dribble, but he’s been solid enough as a backup point guard for the Sixers. Coming to a new team and taking on a different role would explain why his shooting numbers were down in February.
