Daily News | Summer league standouts for the Sixers include Isaiah Joe, Michael Foster Jr.
The third-year guard is an accomplished three-point shooter and a solid defender. However, Joe couldn’t stay in the Sixers’ rotation this past regular season. He followed that up by playing a total of 1 minute, 8 seconds in the final four games of the second-round playoff loss to the Miami Heat. Even that’s a bit misleading, considering those minutes came in mop-up duty in the series-ending Game 6.
“I want to be able to show that my game can transition into the NBA game,” Joe said of his summer league goals. “There are a lot of guys that can go out there and put up these crazy numbers [in summer league], but their game doesn’t particularly translate to the next level. But the 2020 second-round pick, who’s scheduled to make a non-guaranteed $1.7 million next season, is expected to dominate these practices against mostly non-NBA-caliber players.
“I’ve had everything I needed from my trainer on the court and my physical strength trainer off the court,” Joe said. “Physical therapists, masseuses, I’ve had everything I needed.”
