Brandon Paul has been here before.
In 2013 and 2014, Paul had chances to show his stuff with the Canton Charge of the NBA D-League and the Chicago Bulls’ summer league team. But those chances were both sidetracked by shoulder injuries that required surgery.
Paul continued to play in the D-League and abroad over the next couple year, but never quite earned an opportunity to stick at the highest level.
Then the Philadelphia 76ers signed Paul to a partially guaranteed contract in 2016 after a series of standout summer league performances. Paul competed for a back-up guard position in training camp but ultimately fell short: The Sixers waived Paul near the end of the preseason to trim their roster to the maximum of 15 contracts.
