5 Play-in Tournament free agent targets: Devonte’ Graham
In terms of having a high level of need, Devonte’ Graham shouldn’t on that level for the Philadelphia 76ers. The Sixers still have point guard Tyrese Maxey and Hill, along with All-Star playmaker Ben Simmons and combo guard Shake Milton. However, depending on what type of future roles Maxey and Simmons have on this team, adding a third point guard like Graham wouldn’t hurt.

The Charlotte Hornets’ point guard only measures at 6-foot-1, which is certainly on the shorter end of the height scale for NBA players. Which limits his efficiency on offense and defensive effectiveness. However, he can be a primary or secondary spark plug off the bench.
This year, he averaged 14.8 points and 5.4 assists, while shooting just 37.7 percent from the field and 37.5 percent from the 3-point line. He’s not efficient enough to be a starter for Philly, but just good enough as a scorer and playmaker to be the sixth man.
However, with Milton already locked into the roster, the Sixers shouldn’t want to overpay for a Graham. He’s bound to get at least $10 million a year based on his production so he’s probably out of the 76ers price range, but if the market isn’t kind to him, Philly should at least inquire.
