Raul Neto hasn’t had many chances to show what he can do with the Philadelphia 76ers so far this season. Brett Brown opened the season by experimenting with Josh Richardson playing in the backup point guard role, leaving Neto to average just 3.9 minutes (with one DNP) over the first five games of the season. Outside of a few nice plays in six minutes against Detroit on October 26, there weren’t any Neto takeaways from these games.
When the Sixers’ thrilling 21-point comeback against Portland took place on November 2, Neto’s six-minute stint off the bench provided a burst that was key to getting the team back on track.
