Mike Scott is a man of the people, or at least the people of Philadelphia. It’s not that often that a player comes to a new town and takes over in the way that Scott has. Scott was traded to the Sixers along with Tobias Harris and Boban Marjanovic in an apparent “win now” move. With Scott and Harris re-signing, this once short-term move will continue to keep talented shooters around Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid.
As a player, Scott is the kind of useful piece most teams would love to have. His ability to stretch the floor, to fight for rebounds, and to play with both determination and intimidation sets Scott apart.
