However, there are some sequences of him attacking the basket and practicing his floater.Council started off the season on a two-way contract, but quickly became a fan favorite.
As the Sixers dealt with an array of injuries in the second half of the year, Nick Nurse had to go deeper into his rotation. Among those to see their playing time drastically increase was Council. The young prospect provided energy and physicality at the forward position, which led to fans falling in love with him.
In the 32 games he appeared in, Council averaged 5.4 PPG and 1.4 RPG while shooting 37.5% from beyond the arc. His best overall performance came in February against the Washington Wizards when he recorded a double-double . Council will turn 23 this summer, still making him a bit of a younger prospect. Nonetheless, he is getting extra work in now in hopes of competing for a rotation spot come training camp.Kevin McCormick covers the Philadelphia 76ers FanNation's All76ers.
