Essentially viewed as a throw-in alongside Tobias Harris and Boban Marjanovic, Mike Scott‘s expectations were low joining the Philadelphia 76ers. Given the weak bench beforehand, any production would have been appreciated. Scott is already exceeding those expectations.
Standing 6-foot-8, Scott offers a great deal of versatility in the frontcourt. He’s a 41.4 percent three-point shooter, a number that has only spiked with increased volume in Philadelphia. He’s thriving in a bigger role as well, averaging nine more minutes per game compared to Los Angeles.
With Joel Embiid going on his eighth straight absence, Scott has proven valuable in holding the frontcourt together.
