Philadelphia 76ers: A look at the 2019 NBA Summer League roster
By Derek Hryn
10. Christ Koumadje
Christ Koumadje will be a player to watch over these next four games. Koumadje spent time as Ben Simmons‘ high school teammate at Montverde Academy, and played a key role in Florida State’s Sweet 16 run last year, erasing 1.4 shots per game, (not that his 7’4″ stature had anything to do with it). This could be a solution to the recent departure of Boban Marjanovic.
9. Sheldon Mac
It’s been a turbulent career for Sheldon Mac. Starting off the 2017-18 season with the Washington Wizards, the 26-year-old guard suffered a torn Achilles, and was later traded at the midpoint of the year. A brief stint with the Delaware Blue Coats is the reason for his link to the Sixers. Mac will use this summer as a stepping stone to getting himself back on track.
8. PJ Dozier
PJ Dozier is arguably the most interesting piece on this roster, and his exposure to the NBA makes him a more tenable candidate to fill a roster spot. The former South Carolina product played in six games for the Boston Celtics last season, and put up a resounding 21 points per game for the G League affiliate Maine Red Claws. Due to the Celtics’ recent free agency acquisitions, they were unable to extend a qualifying offer, thus landing him in Philly.
We’ll see what he can bring to the Summer Sixers.
