Breakout Players for Next Year
Posted: Fri Jun 30, 2023 8:17 pm
What I am most excited about for the coming season is that we have several guys that legitimately could take leaps in their game and break out.
1. Jaden: When Conley came in, he got to be a bigger part of the offense and he shot 42.7% from threes in the second half. I think and hope that this is the year he puts it all together.
2. Ant: He's gotten better every year and if he can stay healthy, we may see his overall efficiency trend up and see him get to the line more often.
3. NAW: He really looked like he broke out in the playoffs and with an organization that feels confident in him, I think he's going to be a really good rotation piece.
4. Shake Milton: Look at the starting stats this guy put up and not only were the stats very impressive, but Philly was 17-4 when Shake got at least 28 minutes. I think he's been a good player buried on the bench behind some very good to great players and hopefully he'll now get the minutes to shine.
5. Leonard Miller: He's got a lot of talent and maybe the gem of the post-lottery draft. I think the growth spurt he had made him a bit awkward coupled with his late start into basketball. But he's very coachable and hopefully he's another Jaden McDaniels in the making.
6. Naz Reid: Well, the organization loves him and gave him a nice bag. Hopefully, he continues to work hard and can improve on his game. Hopefully, he can continue to improve his all around game, especially on the defensive side and be able to hone his passing game.
7. Josh Minott: With Prince gone, this may his time to show what he's got. TC must have felt confident that he's ready to join the rotation with allowing Prince to go, though I expect Troy Brown to start the year and perhaps Josh will end the year with a rotation spot or the two may timeshare it.
8. KAT: Guy hopefully is healthy and I want to see him back. He may have a chip on his shoulder and hopefully that's a better KAT. Hoping for a healthier year, one where he adjusts to Rudy and one where he is motivated to show he should stay here.
9. Rudy: Hoping he stays healthy and he should love starting the year with Conley as opposed to DLO. Again, hoping a year of adjustment brings dividends.

). I followed that guy since his G-League days and was confident he could replace Beasley as our 6th man and potentially even be an upgrade. The exact opposite happened - his defense was worse, his shot abandoned him, and he carried a usage higher than what could possibly be justified given his struggles.
