I think we can all agree that team results in summer league games are secondary, and perhaps even largely irrelevant. These games are all for the recent draft picks, undrafted signees and unproven young players from each team to work on various skills in game settings. Ultimately, they’re all trying to make a case for why they deserve at least a chance to compete for a spot on the NBA roster heading into training camp.
That’s why a game like Saturday night’s, one that the Sixers ended up losing, can still end up feeling like a positive for the fanbase.
