Philadelphia 76ers: Who should Isaiah Joe leap-frog for minutes?
It’s fair to write that Isaiah Joe has been the pleasant surprise of the Philadelphia 76ers during the preseason. The development of the second year wing has been unheralded, to say the least. Now head coach Doc Rivers has a tough decision. It’s clear that Joe is one of the 10 best players on the […] Philadelphia 76ers: Who should Isaiah Joe leap-frog for minutes? - The Sixer Sense - The Sixer Sense - A Philadelphia 76ers Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and More

Sixers Bell Ringer: Isaiah Joe once again shows out as Philadelphia drops preseason finale
Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports The second-year wing was en fuego all preseason. Sixers Bell Ringer preseason standings Andre Drummond: 1 Georges Niang: 1 Furkan Korkmaz: 1 The Philadelphia 76ers put a bow on their four-game preseason schedule with a 112-106 loss to the Detroit Pistons on Friday. Short six rotation players, including three (or four) starters, the Sixers fell behind early and saw the deficit balloon to 22 before constructing a fourth-quarter charge, which Detroit eventually fended off. The games will count for real starting Wednesday in New Orleans...

How Ben Simmons’ arrival can help Isaiah Joe
Photo by David Dow/NBAE via There may be a positive found within the craziness of Ben Simmons’ possible return. Ben Simmons is back in Philadelphia! Well, at least in some form. What remains to be seen is if he’ll actually suit up for the final preseason game or for any of the Sixers’ regular-season game. It’s a step in the right direction for the Sixers though. Their goal for the past few weeks was to get Simmons back in Philly and try to sell him into the idea of competing at a high level with the Sixers. While Simmons’ future in Philadelphia is still...

Joel Embiid Praises Isaiah Joe After Stellar Preseason Performance
Ben Simmons ending his holdout and reporting to Philadelphia Monday stole the spotlight from the Sixers’ preseason win over the Nets, but there was a lot to discuss regarding what happened on the court. Former second-round pick Isaiah Joe has been a key standout for the 76ers in the preseason and arguably had his best […] The post Joel Embiid Praises Isaiah Joe After Stellar Preseason Performance appeared first on ClutchPoints.

The latest on Kyrie Irving and Ben Simmons: the NBA’s very own Shakespearian parallel
Photo by Mitchell Leff/ Usually, preseason is a very sleepy time filled with small-story optimism. The 9th man had a protein shake and added some muscle. The 10th man may play more of another position and if he’s good at that, maybe he can become the 6th man. A big man who never takes 3s was seen shooting 3s in practice. A vet got married this summer. A sophomore really does like it in this city. You know that kind of stuff. And so I’m trying to focus on those stories. I had in mind something like, “Isaiah Joe has clearly improved his handles this off-season”...

GRADES: Shorthanded Sixers scorch Nets in preseason
On a night where Ben Simmons made his return to the team, albeit mid-game and still lacking clarity, the Sixers backcourt played masterfully. Tobias Harris, Tyrese Maxey, Seth Curry, Matisse Thybulle, Shake Milton, and even Grant Riller were all out for an assortment of reasons and yet it did not matter. Isaiah Joe and Furkan […] GRADES: Shorthanded Sixers scorch Nets in preseason - The Sixer Sense - The Sixer Sense - A Philadelphia 76ers Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and More

The Gastroenteritis Blues: (84) Ben Simmons is Back in Philly (Boo) and Isaiah Joe is Untouchable
Photo by David Dow/NBAE via On today’s episode of The Gastroenteritis Blues, Steve, Emily and Dan react to the news of the day: Ben Simmons is back in Philadelphia. Is this anything more than Daryl Morey successfully calling Ben & Klutch’s bluff? Will he be ‘injured’? Will he actually return to play for the Sixers? They round up the surrounding reports on the topic and try to absorb what this means for their beloved Sixers. On a more lighthearted note, the preseason Sixers have been lots of fun. Joel Embiid looks phenomenal, Tyrese Maxey is the future, and...

Sixers Bell Ringer: Furkan Korkmaz and Isaiah Joe pace Philadelphia to second preseason win
Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports The starting backcourt was cooking Monday. Sixers Bell Ringer preseason standings Andre Drummond: 1 Georges Niang: 1 Facing their second Atlantic Division foe of preseason, the Philadelphia 76ers moved to 2-1 as they rolled past the Brooklyn Nets 114-102 Monday evening. Despite missing six rotation players (Ben Simmons included), they led by 12 after the first quarter and 19 at halftime, and had scant trouble picking up their second consecutive preseason victory. They’ll wrap up the exhibition slate against the Detroit Pistons on Friday...

Isaiah Joe deserves a shot in the Sixers’ rotation
Photo by Vaughn Ridley/NBAE via The second-year wing keeps strengthening his case to play real minutes for the Sixers. There was a lot to like about Isaiah Joe heading into the 2020 NBA Draft. He was a high-level shooter who hit 37.8 percent of his 9.1 three-point attempts per game in two years at Arkansas, a good complementary passer, and a fairly quick, smart team defender. As the 49th pick, he was a great-value find for the Sixers. As you’d expect for a rookie on a No. 1 seed, Joe didn’t get to play too much for the Sixers last season. He only appeared in 41...

Sixers are out of excuses not to play Isaiah Joe
The Sixers have a lot of young talent. Naturally, Doc Rivers has been predisposed to focus on the vets. The vets have been around longer, and the Sixers are trying to win games. Vets know how to win games. That is true, broadly speaking. Veteran teams tend to win more games than young teams. That […] Sixers are out of excuses not to play Isaiah Joe - The Sixer Sense - The Sixer Sense - A Philadelphia 76ers Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and More
