13. Jared McCain, SG

Does he have enough to make the 76ers rethink its veteran rotation?

Most depth charts have McCain slotted in behind Philly’s couple of veterans in Kyle Lowry and Reggie Jackson, and the coaching staff probably shares the same sentiment as of speaking. Having said that, Nick Nurse isn’t so naive to just waive an opportunity for the rookie to pull the rug under them, but McCain will need to prove that he’s too good not to play immediately.

12. Guerschon Yabusele, PF

Will his sterling three-point shot in Europe translate well to the NBA?

Yabusele is a pretty sleek signing by the 76ers front office. His tenacity and defense will be constants, but his three-point shot could determine whether or not he is deserving of a consistent role. He shot thre three-ball very well in Europe, but he has to show that he can replicate it on the rangier NBA three-point line.

11. Ricky Council IV, SG

Can he become a better off-ball threat?

Ricky Council IV is a bit of a hidden weapon for Nick Nurse this season. The young wing has been impressive inlimited spurts this season, but his role for the upcoming campaign remains unknown. At best, he could start or net considerable minutes off the bench, but he has to show that he can become a more consistent factor without the ball.

10. KJ Martin, SF

Can he modernize his offensive game?

KJ Martin, while only pegged as a trade chip in suspense at this point, has the makings of a fine NBA rotation-caliber player with his great finishing ability and incredible athleticism. problem is, he is almost negligible outside the paint. His lack of playmaking skill also limits his utility. He needs to bring something new to the table right off the bat.
