In late July, the Philadelphia 76ers signed 34-year-old point guard Reggie Jackson to a one-year, veteran’s minimum contract, after his previous deal was bought out by the Charlotte Hornets. With Tyrese Maxey a team centerpiece, and Kyle Lowry re-signing with the Sixers this offseason, it’s clear that Jackson is set to fill the third point guard role where Cam Payne resided a year ago. Payne played 19.4 minutes per game in 31 appearances for Philadelphia last regular season after arriving from Milwaukee, even playing some helpful playoff minutes.
Inherently, it’s hard to ‘miss’ on a veteran’s minimum signing, given there are no downside cap implications in the short- or long-term.
