The Philadelphia 76ers have been the most active team in the NBA offseason, at least when it comes to making significant moves.
Obviously, landing Paul George took this team a step further in terms of championship contention, but Daryl Morey doesn’t want to leave anything to chance.
With that in mind, the Sixers decided to give a hard-working young player a chance to make a living in the league.
According to a report by Shams Charania of The Athletic, G Jeff Dowtin Jr. will get a two-way contract after an impressive performance in the Summer League.
The Sixers had declined his team option earlier in the offseason, but they still granted him a spot on their Summer League roster.
In seven games, he averaged 17.1 points per game on 48/30/80 shooting splits to go along with 5.7 assists.
The 27-year-old had a brief stint with the Sixers last season after a myriad of injuries forced their hand to dig deep into the G-League to find some bucket-getters.
He had previously played for Nick Nurse with the Toronto Raptors, so it made sense for both parties.
The Sixers converted Dowtin’s two-way contract to a standard NBA contract, and he was a very efficient shooter in the 12 games he spent with the organization.
