Excellent first step, elite athlete, good upside on defense, very good FT shooter. Now if he can just get a (stop me if you’ve heard this one before) three point shot, he’d be at minimum a nice rotation player.
I’m glad we grabbed him over a non-basketball player like Chris Livingston.

Is council gonna be a PG or shooting guard though?
Another person who’s helped Council in that regard: teammate and newly-minted All-Star Tyrese Maxey.
“I feel like what he can do defensively and attacking the basket is special,” Maxey said last week to Liberty Ballers. “So I’ve just been on him. After every shootaround, I make him shoot threes with me because if he gets that down, especially like corner threes, he can be a special player in this league.”

Hines has also worked with him on his form. He will have all offseason to put in the work. No reason for him to not come back atleast average next season.
I don't understand why the sixers haven't signed him yet.
