Isaiah Joe fits the profile of the 76ers’ prototypical reserve. The third-year guard is an accomplished three-point shooter and a solid defender. However, Joe couldn’t stay in the Sixers’ rotation this past regular season. He followed that up by playing a total of 1 minute, 8 seconds in the final four games of the second-round playoff loss to the Miami Heat. Even that’s a bit misleading, considering those minutes came in mop-up duty in the series-ending Game 6. The problem was Joe didn’t always flourish when called up.
“That’s the thing, last year was consistency,” Joe said. “So that’s the thing I really want to build is consistency, especially for a contending team. They don’t have any time for inconsistent players. So they are really looking for consistency out of me just like they are looking for consistency out of [star players] Joel [Embiid] and James [Harden]. “It’s not going to change. So I can’t come in and slack. I got to be able to come in and excel.”
“I want to be able to show that my game can transition into the NBA game,” Joe said of his summer league goals. “There are a lot of guys that can go out there and put up these crazy numbers [in summer league], but their game doesn’t particularly translate to the next level. “So that’s my goal to say, ‘Hey I’m here to stay and I’m here do whatever the team needs me to do and I’m here to show them that I can be able to translate.’”
Noah Levick: We heard from Daryl Morey tonight that Jaden Springer, Filip Petrusev and Isaiah Joe will be among the Sixers in summer league. Michael Foster Jr. is also expected to join the team in summer league, per source.
