This year, the Sixers’ Summer League run was filled with excitement surrounding the team’s new additions through the 2024 NBA Draft.
After going empty-handed on draft night last season, the Sixers had the opportunity to bring in two players through the draft this year.
With their top pick, the Sixers brought on Jared McCain out of Duke. When they went on board in the second round on night two, the 76ers selected Adem Bona out of UCLA.
Following the draft, the Sixers also added David Jones and Justin Edwards through two-way deals. The four rookies were present for the Sixers’ Summer League run, joining the sophomore standout, Ricky Council IV.
Overall, the top rookies showed a lot of promise throughout the Vegas run. While McCain’s efficiency from the field didn’t match what helped him stand out during his freshman season at Duke, the young guard still had flashes as an impressive scorer. There’s a lot to be desired from McCain, but he has plenty of time to put it together.
As for the second-round center Bona, his hustle and defensive effort was difficult to overlook. Although he averaged just seven points per game, Bona came down with six rebounds per game, while swatting nearly three shots in an average of 22 minutes of action.
