Sixers’ Player Rankings: Early strong impressions
15. Vincent Poirier
December Stats: GP 1| MINS 6.0| FG% 50.0| TRB 2.0| BKL 1.0| TOV 1.0| PTS 2.0
Vincent Poirier was a last-second addition to the Al Horford trade this past offseason but only got garbage minutes against the Orlando Magic in December. The reason why the center is ahead of Ferguson is that he made a positive contribution while he played. With four centers on the roster, Poirier was the odd man out of the rotation during December and barely got any playing time. He probably won’t be a part of the rotation moving forward.

14. Isaiah Joe
December Stats: GP 2| MINS 7.0| FG% 33.3| 3P% 0.0| TRB 1.5| AST 0.5| STL 0.5| PF 0.5| TOV 1.0| PTS 1.0
The 49th pick of the 2020 NBA made his NBA debut against the blowout loss to Cleveland Cavaliers. Isaiah Joe made one of his two shots from the floor in the game. However, the rookie failed to score in the other game he played in during that month. Joe has some potential but he will need time to grow into the potential sharpshooter he can be.
13. Dakota Mathias
December Stats: GP 2| MINS 6.5| FG% 33.3| 3P% 33.3| TRB 1.0| AST 1.0| PTS 4.0
Despite being on a two-way contract, Dakota Mathias made it to the 13th spot on these rankings. The undrafted rookie impressed at the end of the game against the Cavaliers. He had eight points in seven minutes. Now he didn’t score in the other game he played in, but it’s clear he’s a young player worth developing for the Sixers. If he becomes a consistent floor spacer, the shooting guard might be worth a roster spot.
