My favorite Sixers target in the scenario of a Ben trade not happening is De’Anthony Melton, PG/SG Memphis Grizzlies.
Melton is 23, averaging 9.8 pts, 3.9 ast, 4.4 reb, on 39% from the field and 31.7 from 3 with 1.6 stl. Currently on an 8.6 mill salary for this and 2 more years.
The raptors are honestly more dangerous without him, not to say he isn’t great, but he is clearly struggling physically and when he’s out there he gives the sixers 1 more player to target offensively. I’d be surprised if nurse puts him out there less than 100%
Ultra small lineup from the raptors. Key is getting the ball to Joel in deep position quickly before they have a chance to swarm. Do that and it’s gonna force an early adjustment from Nick Nurse.
