Isaiah Joe praises Doc Rivers, relishing opportunity with OKC

The Sixers came out of the 2020 NBA Draft feeling pretty good.

Tyrese Maxey, who looks like a star in the making, fell into their laps at the 21st pick. Paul Reed, who’s shown flashes of being a solid rotational player, was one of the last picks of the draft.

And with the 49th overall pick, they took Arkansas sharpshooter Isaiah Joe. For what’s felt like forever the Sixers have tried to develop a 3-and-D player. Joe seemed like he had the traits to fit that bill.

But alas, Joe was waived by the Sixers right before the start of the regular season.
