4 Biggest takeaways as 76ers tally crucial loss in Summer League action

76ers Summer League standout Ricky Council IV struggles

Stats: 28 minutes, 7 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 turnovers

After dropping 29 points on Monday night, Council IV struggled to find a rhythm in tonight’s contest. He went 2/9 from the field and took a while to get involved in the action. 

When he decided to attack, he often dribbled into traffic. Council IV was wild in this one seeking contact instead of attacking into space resulting in multiple turnovers. Without getting into the flow of the game, Council IV forced the action tonight. 

His aggressiveness led to poor shot selection. He drilled a three in the fourth quarter and for a moment, you thought he might be able to turn it on like he did on Monday night, but tonight was not his night. 

After game one, we highlighted that his success depended on him finding his rhythm and playing under control. That remains to be the case and is a point of observation as the summer league continues.
