Last season was the best one to date for Mike Muscala. He averaged 7.6 points and 4.3 rebounds in 20 minutes per game, all of which were career highs. He finally became an important part of the Hawks’ rotation, something that was a long time coming.
Now he enters the 2018-19 season donning a new uniform, joining the Philadelphia 76ers via trade over the summer. The Sixers, unlike the Hawks, will be competitive in the Eastern Conference. That doesn’t mean Muscala’s role will lessen, though.
The Sixers’ have a decent second unit, but depth is lacking.
