Philadelphia 76ers: Shake Milton on track for big third season

The Philadelphia 76ers should continue letting Shake Milton cook.

Shake Milton has been the talk of training camp, with Doc Rivers heaping no shortage of praise on the 24-year-old point guard. Be it far from me to put significant stock in a preseason game, but the Philadelphia 76ers’ win over Boston on Tuesday only cemented the hype around Shake.

Last season, Milton overtook Al Horford’s spot in the starting five. Now he’s in charge of the second unit, apparently with more freedom than Brett Brown ever gave him.
