Back in June on draft night, the Philadelphia 76ers acquired De’Anthony Melton from the Memphis Grizzlies in exchange for veteran Danny Green and the No. 23 pick which turned out to be David Roddy. The Sixers were able to add a proven player who is expected to give a big boost to the bench.
Melton averaged 10.8 points and shot 37.4% from deep off the bench for Memphis in the 2021-22 season and he should be an upgrade to Philadelphia’s second unit.
He has also been busy all summer as he has been participating in the Drew League, where he won the championship, and now he is participating in the Rico Hines runs out at UCLA. Hines posted a video of some highlights on his Instagram and he tagged Melton as well as stars such as Paul George, John Wall, and Pascal Siakam.

Melton and the Sixers will convene for training camp at the end of September and that is the time for the Sixers to come together and be at their best for the upcoming season.
