I said the same thing Harris never took a charge or dove for the ball because he never wanted to get injured and be out the lineup for a long time and see the sixers do better without him with a G league replacement
It is summer league, but McCain showed his offensive skill set as not being completely reliant on 3’s, which was his specialty going into the draft. Philly gonna appreciate his grit.
He literally won a chip with a combo of youth and vet and he ran the offense around Scottie Barnes. What young player did he not play? Council is big better than Tobias rn. That’s just a fact.
Sixers We still need bigger guys on the team, Like other teams, We need a taller forward, Boston and New York have taller players, Let's go Sixers 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
Council had Embiid numbers.. over 1 point per min... Council saw Nurse on the sideline and said "watch this". Council over Tobiass and we win the Knicks series, agreed.
It's not just about Doc being gone, it's the fact that Morey isn't handcuffed or having to do clean up duty to repair mistakes from previous management. He's got the coach he wants, the cap space and the assets.
Man oh man is it refreshing being on the other side of the Tobias contract with role players ready to contribute and an exciting young guys (McCain, Bona, C4)
This is gonna sound crazy, but the Sixers with their lineup and bench unit right now and we'll still probably add a couple pieces like veterans minimum guys and things like that, but if you squint it's kind of like an alternate version of the OKC Thunder and what they're doing. All of a sudden we have a lot of youth on this team and balancing that out with the veterans that we did get is a no brainer. We went from having no developmental guys to having three or 4 within a year and that's crazy.
Between Maxey and Council, we didn’t have a lot of prospects. Suddenly getting Kelly back for three years (28), Martin for FOUR years (28), and drafting two guys who are shockingly NBA ready at age 20, we have quite a bit of youth in the building along with our four old heads.
@@andrewsammons9643 We also still have a lot of picks and we can flip them for someone if we wanted to or we could keep them and just see how this year pans out, because those picks could be valuable.
I had a blast watching Bona play last night. Exciting young player. McCain played better than I expected, but his shooting was brutal. I assume that is an anomaly, since he’s known as a sniper. Ricky Council didn’t belong there and it showed. Too good for summer league. Needs more court time this season. He’s a player.
Council is an absolute bucket. Still apprehensive on the others cause we kinda felt like Springer was gonna do something and didn't translate to the NBA court like the G League.
Ricky Council I dont even have to say anything. Bona is a young lion and ready.Jared McCain showed what he can do even with his three point shot not going and that tells me a lot.
Listen. I've been a Morey doubter. But now looking back, waiting a year may not have been a bad decision lol Very happy with the off-season results thus far. Of course, it comes down to a Chip before I give a final "stamp" of approval.
Something else that DJ brought up that was interesting is when he said maybe we don't get a power forward. When you look at the roster we have a lot of athletic wings and I can't believe I'm saying that where depending on matchups you can start someone different each night. You can have a line up with Caleb Martin and Kelly Oubre or you could have a lineup with potentially bringing in Ricky Council or Bona. The versatility is off the charts for what you could do so far with this lineup and it's not at all stagnant. My biggest question would be who fills out the rest of the roster and I really do hope we don't bring back Kyle Lowry because Nick Nurse will just force feed him because they're best friends.
Depth Chart As Of Now With 5 Open Roster Spots - i still think they need: Starting PF/Backup PG/Backup SF/Backup PF 1ST TEAM STARTERS Maxey Martin Oubre George Embiid - Martin & Oubre can Guard 1-4 & George can Guard 2-4 so they will just mix it up defensively - Oubre is the 6th Man if they get a Starting PF 2ND TEAM McCain Gordon Council- PF???- Drummond - i think Council could stay as the Backup SF but Nurse & Morey may want a Veteran 3RD TEAM- Just Bona for now - McCain & Council would be on 3RD TEAM if Sixers get a Veteran Backup PG & Veteran Backup SF - I agree w/you bro that Dowtin can help at Backup PG -I also agree that McCain can help at Backup PG too if Sixers focus on developing his PG skills more & more so McCain can be a legitimate PG/SG/Combo Guard
The first thing I thought when I saw council on the summer league roster is that it reminded me of when maxey was on it in his 2nd season. He’s clearly just too good for those summer league guys.
Yep, say what you want about the TikTok’s and nail polish, Jared McCain can play. With the display Bona and Council put on as well, we’ve got some great young pieces that we can place solid confidence in for our future. Not mad at what we saw, at all
bruh u were 1000% right about ricky council... I always thought u were blowing smoke up the dudes azz everytime u brought him up but that dude is a certified BALLER
Put some respect on Ricky's 3 ball. Its an awkward release but enables him to be a deadeye shooter on close outs. And no ur not over reacting, I stated last vid, Bonas intensity and toughness will make him more of an impact than our 1st rounder. Counsil and Bona on the court with Drummond is the toughness Philly's been needing.
I watched that draft combine scrimmage with Bronny James, where he supposedly played so well that his entire draft stock went up. Honestly, bronny looked god-awful giving up turnovers that he should’ve never. But my biggest take away without a doubt was How damn good Adem Bona looked. I think this guy won’t get huge minutes right now, but she has the type of energy that made me excited about the ball Paul with a little bit more refinement. Very excited to see what he can be if he can limit those fouls.
The biggest thing for me is that now Joel can't say we didn't go all in for him. There's nothing in the media hotter than the moves the Sixers have made. This is it, all or nothing, do or die, and we've put it all around Embiid. Take us there king
I was thinking the exact same thing - based on your video caption! It was fun watching these 3 go off, especially of course Ricky Council IV, 1st Summer League game!
I really don’t want to believe this, but we might be wise not to fall in love with Ricky Council Jr. because the Sixers are still talking a trade for DFS and I think Ricky is part of the trade package
There should be no reason why Ricky Council doesn’t get a lot of minutes this season. He’s clearly NBA ready and has so much potential to be a real superstar
Although I'd love to have a solid stretch 4 with some size and the ability to rebound, matching up with Boston starting 5 they typically don't have a power forward. They use Tatum in that spot.
Adem Bona looks good.. but he still needs to work on the desire to position himself and go after every rebound. Defensive rebounding seems to be a bit of a weakness for him... hopefully they train him to use that athleticism to become a beast on the boards.
Dam i just watched Dalton K. Highlight from Lakers Summer League & although i like McCain a little bit, i think Dalton K. can help more right away & Dalton K. will have a better NBA cateer unless McCain can become a Point Guard
I had some similar sensations with those 3. Bona's intensity was awesome. He is raw offensivelly but I see the motor in him. He screamed "gimmethatshit" while blocking his first shot. McCain seems to me more a 2 guard than a point guard, so it's interesting to see how he is going to develop and what his role is going to be. Ricky Council draw a lot of fouls attacking the rim too. And what do you make of Aluma, although allowed a couple of and1s on defense with some weak fouls, he looked good on offense and rebounding the ball.
Noone listens to Me. I tried to told folks. Just watch the games.. Not you DJ. I gotta let you rant first. 🤣. These rookies coached by Nick Nurse gonna be sick. Bona is a beast mode player with no moves. But pure hops and energy. McCain is tough around the rim . And he can shoot. And Whattttt. Ricky got a 3 ball now.oh boyyy
Where is our rebounder? Joel's going to need some help on the boards or we're going to be in the same situation as we were last year against the Knicks..
I'm really liking this Sixers off season. While I'm not thrilled about PG, Sixers got a ton of potential with youth and durability and I'm real interested to see what the mad scientist Nick Nurse cooks up in year 2.
I think you’re forgetting we have Gordon bro our starters are set already with Caleb Martin our bench right now is McCain Gordon Ricky council Adem bona and Drummond even though bona may be subbed out for DFS or someone like Marcus morris
Ricky Council IV played like he wanted Nick Nurse to know." Tobias Harris over me"
That's C4 aka Ricky Council IV
@@chunky9791 explosive like it...
that Bona poster was crazy
he had a couple
Did it give you a Bona?
@@PIBoost LOL (yes)
Let's Get It.😮
@@PIBoost he's bona-fied
Those 3 kids (bona, Ricky and Jared) can bring so much energy from our bench and I’m all for it
McCain dove for the ball more in that 1 summer league game than Tobias did for 5 1/2 years. Those 3 dudes HUSTLED and I'm here for it
I said the same thing Harris never took a charge or dove for the ball because he never wanted to get injured and be out the lineup for a long time and see the sixers do better without him with a G league replacement
💅🏽 while never chipping a nail 😎🔥 💪🏿
Exactly 💯%
It is summer league, but McCain showed his offensive skill set as not being completely reliant on 3’s, which was his specialty going into the draft. Philly gonna appreciate his grit.
😊 I love 😊you 😊😘💕❤️
I’m still blaming Nick Nurse for not playing Ricky Council in the playoffs.
Well that was the word on Nurse in Toronto. He doesn't utilize youth. Here's hoping he will use the backups more.
He literally won a chip with a combo of youth and vet and he ran the offense around Scottie Barnes. What young player did he not play? Council is big better than Tobias rn. That’s just a fact.
I think it was Joe Harris.
Not to mention Nick nurse was there in rivers was never at any of the Sixers rookie practices or rookie games😮
I think we are very deep with these rookies …they looked confident and skilled and hustle
Sixers We still need bigger guys on the team, Like other teams, We need a taller forward, Boston and New York have taller players, Let's go Sixers 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
Council had Embiid numbers.. over 1 point per min... Council saw Nurse on the sideline and said "watch this". Council over Tobiass and we win the Knicks series, agreed.
Agreed
Agreed
No
Hell no. Still would’ve lost. Pg for Tobias we win.
Y'all keep blaming Tobias,but fail to mention that Lowry & Batum disappeared against the Knicks...🤦🤦🤦
Bona shoulda been a first rounder. Talk about a steal
I was hoping the bucks picked him
Bro, as I mentioned, Bona was the steal of the draft. I told a friend of mine, he could start for half the teams in the league right NOW
It's not just about Doc being gone, it's the fact that Morey isn't handcuffed or having to do clean up duty to repair mistakes from previous management. He's got the coach he wants, the cap space and the assets.
I could see Bona playing a Gafford/Lively type role on this team, he’s a crazy lob threat
Add Naz Reid to that list..
That squad looked GOOD!
Best summer league game i’ve seen from us in my life tbh. I never watched a full summer league game until yesterday
"Is Tobias Harris a Basketball
Player or a Fvck'n Philanthropist"
😂🤣😂
LOL, he is for himself and his father agent.. He is a phonylantropist
Paul reed, though we love him. Paul couldn’t walk and chew gum at the same time.
Great analogy 😂
Man oh man is it refreshing being on the other side of the Tobias contract with role players ready to contribute and an exciting young guys (McCain, Bona, C4)
"BONA-FIDE" sorry but couldn't help myself 😂
All good. We can rock with that, haha
Good 👍 one 💔
That’s wassup lol love how he power dunks everything
BONA-FIDE STUD
Bona was also running full speed everytime he was on the court. love that motor
Bona is a beast 3rd center, and will cook when playing the 2nd center when embid has his rest days.
yeah i mean looking at this team i think we can win games by big margins without embiid 😂
if embiid goes down andre drummond and bona steps up 😂 the young guys get played and they got energy
I say mix him in and let him play some 4 with Drummond at the 5 for the bench
That Bona is something else 😅

@@jabarwright4333 the Clippers pick in 2028 is probably the single best non-player asset in the sport right now, it’s crazy
Nick nurse should have played him instead of Tobias Harris😅
I would love for Paul George to take Ricky Council underneath his wing.
Totally agree with Council. He gave more effort than TH last year
10:34 You underestimate the amount of homeless shelters that Tobias Harris will build from his corner 3-pt bricks
Yup they thurl , praying Embib and pg stay healthy tho
I had a blast watching Bona play last night. Exciting young player.
McCain played better than I expected, but his shooting was brutal. I assume that is an anomaly, since he’s known as a sniper.
Ricky Council didn’t belong there and it showed. Too good for summer league. Needs more court time this season. He’s a player.
I knew McCain would change folks mind quickly. Forget his painted nails. He can hoop. Let’s go Kid 🔥🔥
Council is an absolute bucket. Still apprehensive on the others cause we kinda felt like Springer was gonna do something and didn't translate to the NBA court like the G League.
Ricky Council I dont even have to say anything. Bona is a young lion and ready.Jared McCain showed what he can do even with his three point shot not going and that tells me a lot.

It's beyond me why Nurse didn't play RCIV in the playoffs. It's extremely frustrating.
Makes no sense and none of the reporters would ask him.
tin foil hat theory:
76ers DIDNT WANT TO MAKE 2ND ROUND - to keep free cap space by NOT keeping BBall Paul
I just saw highlights and I was like ohh shit!! We looking good all around so far!!
Something else that DJ brought up that was interesting is when he said maybe we don't get a power forward.

Depth Chart As Of Now With 5 Open Roster Spots
- i still think they need: Starting PF/Backup PG/Backup SF/Backup PF
1ST TEAM STARTERS
Maxey Martin Oubre George Embiid
- Martin & Oubre can Guard 1-4 & George can Guard 2-4 so they will just mix it up defensively
- Oubre is the 6th Man if they get a Starting PF
2ND TEAM
McCain Gordon Council- PF???- Drummond
- i think Council could stay as the Backup SF but Nurse & Morey may want a Veteran
3RD TEAM- Just Bona for now
- McCain & Council would be on 3RD TEAM if Sixers get a Veteran Backup PG & Veteran Backup SF
- I agree w/you bro that Dowtin can help at Backup PG
-I also agree that McCain can help at Backup PG too if Sixers focus on developing his PG skills more & more so McCain can be a legitimate PG/SG/Combo Guard
I feel the same

Bona plays like a young amarie stoudamire
I didn’t wanna be the one to say it lol but he does I was bout to type this and saw your comment 😂
Definitely not over reacting good work man thank you I think we’re all excited about what’s to come with our youth

Imagine if we pull off bringing in DFS
As long as these young fellas actually get some clock, our bench should be more than solid.
Keeping Batum for the bench would have been great. The shooting + passing would have been great to allow these guys to cook. In Morey we Trust
Adem Bona looks like a NBA player , his intensity is 🔥.
Can wait for the Crumble Cookie chants😂😂
bruh u were 1000% right about ricky council... I always thought u were blowing smoke up the dudes azz everytime u brought him up but that dude is a certified BALLER

You do this to yourself every year bro. You get excited about something that really is fools gold

Tucker hitting 3s consistently
Edwards nd Jones waking up game 2
I got TH-cam TV again just to watch...real siko
100% agree Bona was like Whooooa. That was inspiring it’s only one game but if he keeps up this hustle his talent will shine
These players look extremely PROMISING 💪🏿💜🤞🏿
And all we asked for is players with athleticism. No catch n shoot only players anymore.
Adem Bona looks good.. but he still needs to work on the desire to position himself and go after every rebound. Defensive rebounding seems to be a bit of a weakness for him... hopefully they train him to use that athleticism to become a beast on the boards.
I thought all 3 guys were steals, if the Sixers can a stretch 4, they can win a title!
Rick really CARRIED the summer sixers, He's proved himself several times over!
