Wilson Chandler made his uneventful Philadelphia 76ers debut in Saturday’s win over the Detroit Pistons, playing just 10 first-half minutes and scoring zero points. He did, however, grab four rebounds to go along with four fouls. It’s fair to say there’s some rust being knocked off.
Moving forward, Chandler will gradually take on a bigger role in the second unit. His defensive versatility and perimeter shooting are valuable weapons for a Sixers team deprived of such assets outside Robert Covington. His ability to defend multiple possessions will help against Boston and Toronto.
