12. Isaiah Joe

January Stats: GP 9| MINS 19.1| FG% 38.6| 3P% 38.6| FT% 100.0| TRB 1.6| AST 1.3| BLK 0.4| STL 0.3| PF 2.0| TOV 0.3| PTS 7.3

If it was a normal season, there’s a good chance that Isaiah Joe would be playing in the G-League. It’s not and that’s too bad for him as he’s shown a lot of promise in January. He scored in double-digits four times. He needs more playing time and he’s probably just not going to get it. However, this month showed he does have legit range as a shooter.

11. Tony Bradley

January Stats:GP 7| MINS 13.4| FG% 55.6| 3P% 0.0| FT% 75.0| TRB 6.0| AST 0.7| BKL 0.6| STL 0.4| PF 1.3| TOV 0.1| PTS 4.7

“…Korkmaz is the third best shooter on the roster this season.”

Center Tony Bradley proved one thing in January. He should be the starting center whenever Joel Embiid doesn’t play. He’s much more effective as a starter than Dwight Howard is at this point in their respective careers. He had how two impressive games this past month against the Denver Nuggets and Detroit Pistons. He nearly had a double-double against Detroit and nearly had one against the Nuggets.

10. Furkan Korkmaz

January Stats: GP 7| MINS 18.0| FG% 43.8| 3P% 44.8| FT% 85.7| TRB 2.3| AST 0.7| STL 0.7| PF 1.1| TOV 0.3| PTS 8.7

Due to an injury in December, Furkan Korkmaz missed more than half of the month. However, when he did return he was red hot from the 3-point line. Shooting 44.8 percent on 4.1 attempts from downtown per game. His volume should go up as the season, it’s clear that outside of Seth Curry and maybe Tobias Harris, Korkmaz is the third best shooter on the roster this season.
