Daily News | Jaden Springer’s growth, Filip Petrusev’s return among Sixers’ Las Vegas summer league story lines
It’s worth continuing to track the progress of the only former first-round pick playing for the Sixers.
Springer spent the bulk of last season developing with the Delaware Blue Coats, where he focused on reading defenses, making decisions on the fly, and establishing consistency.A two-way contract, which was introduced for the 2017-18 season, allows two additional roster players on each team who split time with the NBA club and the G League. Brown and Champagnie are signed to those types of deals, but last season demonstrated their uncertain nature.
Brown, who flashed potential as a rangy wing defender in 19 games with the Sixers last season, said he is aiming to demonstrate his shooting improvements this summer. He went 9-of-16 from the floor and 2-for-8 from three-point range in the two games he played in Salt Lake City, which included a shortened outing against the Jazz when he got hit in the face and did not return.
