Philadelphia 76ers: Future outlook for Raul Neto in Philadelphia

There are only a few other players on the Philadelphia 76ers who have a bleaker future than Raul Nelto does in Philadelphia.

It’s hard to predict the future, however, now seems like a good time to try. Thus far, I’ve covered the future outlooks of Zhaire Smith, Marial Shayok, and Norvel Pelle with the Philadelphia 76ers. The future of Raul Neto in Philadelphia probably won’t extend beyond this season based on his performance and how the team could upgrade his position this offseason.

I’ve wasn’t a huge fan of the Neto signing last season and besides a 19-point explosion against the lowly Golden State Warriors, there has been nothing that has changed my mind in that regard. This season he’s averaged 4.3 points and 1.6 assists, while making 39.4 percent from the 3-point line.

Neto proved to be nothing more than a solid place holder at the point guard position. Offensively he lacks upper-tier athleticism so he has to relate on his quick wit to create offense for himself. Despite his solid I.Q. on the defensive end, his lack of athletism and 6-foot-1 frame makes him a liability against more physically gifted playmakers.
