The Philadelphia 76ers will kick off training camp Sept. 21, a mere nine days from now. It will stretch across three days, ending with an open practice (and scrimmage) at the Palestra. That will be our first glance at the new pieces, with Shake Milton being among the most intriguing.
During my pre-draft coverage, Milton graded out as a top-40 prospect with a legitimate argument for first-round consideration. He shot efficiently in three straight seasons at SMU, while his length and physical tools bode well on the defensive end.
He’s the perfect 3-and-D wing in the modern NBA, and his playmaking skills are an added bonus.
