It’s that time of year again. The Philadelphia 76ers will participate in the 2019 Las Vegas Summer League, joining the other 29 NBA teams, as well as the Croatian and Chinese National Teams. This season, the Sixers have a real chance to make some noise.
While there are definite limitations to the roster, the Summer Sixers, much like the actual Sixers, have a stout defensive front. Norvel Pelle, Zhaire Smith, Matisse Thybulle, Shake Milton — tons of athletic, versatile defensive bodies.
Summer League games are often grimy, which benefits a more defensive-oriented group.
