What Can The 76ers Do?
As a result, Philadelphia can add three players. However, the 76ers are just $1.5 million below the tax line. The Sixers also had an open two-way spot before signing Dalen Terry to a minor league deal earlier today.
Terry averaged 3.5 points and nearly two rebounds in 34 games while shooting 44.1% from the field and 41.3% from the 3-point line. Terry, who has 204 games of NBA experience, was selected with the No. 18 pick in 2022. He was traded to New York and then to New Orleans at the trade deadline. The Pelicans waived him on February 6.
Despite being in his fourth NBA season, Terry is still in a developmental stage, as he is just 23. Terry is an athletic, lengthened, connecting wing whose value lies in the energy and defense he brings. He can guard 1 through 3 and some small power forwards. Additionally, he loves to run the floor in transition and is capable of making quick decisions.
Terry could get some run with the 76ers. Jabari Walker is out of eligibility as a two-way player, and Beauchamp has been just as big a disappointment as Terry has. Plus, Beauchamp does not have the upside that Terry does.
However, Terry will have to show that he can knock down jumpers consistently. He shoots a decent 44% from the field, but he shoots less than 32% from the arc for his career. The 6-6 shooting guard is mainly a straight-line driver, though he is not good at breaking down defenders.
Terry is eligible for up to 18 contests on his two-way deal. But the Sixers will have to maintain 15 players on standard contracts for him or Beauchamp to play more games, per Luke Adams of Hooprumors.
