Sixers’ Player Rankings: Star players shine

9. Isaiah Joe

February Stats: GP 9| MINS 5.9| FG% 31.6| 3P% 42.9| TRB 0.7| AST 0.2| STL 0.3| PF 0.1| TOV 0.1| PTS 2.0

To be fair positions 9-11 on these rankings could be interchanged based on preference. However, the improved 3-point shooting and defense from Isaiah Joe has him at the ninth spot. While it’s true by the end of the month he was assigned to the G-League, he also threatened to take Korkmaz’s spot in the rotation earlier in the month.

8. Shake Milton

February Stats: GP 8| MINS 25.0| FG% 37.9| 3P% 32.1| FT% 85.0| TRB 2.5| AST 2.9| BKL 0.5| STL 0.1| PF 1.8| TOV 1.1| PTS 11.5

It was a very rough shooting month for the Philadelphia 76ers’ de facto sixth man. Shake Milton only shot above 40.0 percent from the field four times and only shot above 35.0 percent from the 3-point line three times. He failed to convert any 3-point attempts in three games. Despite his struggles, he’s still essential for initiating the second unit’s offense this past month.

7. Dwight Howard

February Stats: GP 13| MINS 13.5| FG% 55.8| 3P% 0.0| FT% 62.5| TRB 6.4| AST 0.9| BKL 0.7| STL 0.3| PF 2.6| TOV 1.5| PTS 5.2

The best way to describe Dwight Howard’s February is as, Dwight Howard doing Dwight Howard things, in the positive sense. He’s defending at a high level, rebounding, and finishing at the rim. He rebounded in double-digits three times and had one double-double. He had trouble with fouls, but his limited minutes helped make that issue small.
