It is August in the NBA, which means players are beginning to get in their final workouts in preparation for the 2022-23 season. The season is a grind over 82 games plus the playoffs, and one has to be in peak physical condition to handle it all.
The Philadelphia 76ers figure to be one of the top teams in the league considering the talent they have and the upgrades they made over the offseason.
De’Anthony Melton is one of those upgrades. He was acquired on draft night from the Memphis Grizzlies. He is expected to provide a big boost and an upgrade to the bench unit as the season gets set to be underway.
Melton participated in The Drew League in Los Angeles, and he dazzled in his showing.

Melton averaged 10.8 points and shot 37.4% from deep in the 2021-22 season coming off the bench for Memphis. He should be able to help the Sixers in a big way and stabilize the bench unit to help the team move forward.
