The NBA summer league is all about opportunity. It's important for everybody to get their chances in Las Vegas to show off their skill and earn a chance to play this game at a professional level.
For the Philadelphia 76ers, their main focus was on rookie Labaron Philon Jr. and second-year big man Johni Broome, but an undrafted guard showed what he could do and cashed in on his time in Vegas.
Dante Maddox Jr., undrafted out of Xavier, will sign with Olimpia Milano in Italy. He averaged 15.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 2.0 ****** ists while shooting 35.5% from deep. He showed off his knack for scoring the ball and being able to knock down the 3-pointer on high volume for the Sixers while in Las Vegas.
Maddox played for Cal State Fullerton, Toledo, and Xavier during his collegiate career. He shot 40.3% from deep on 4.0 attempts across 140 games with 81 starts. He will now look to carry that production overseas and take advantage of his new opportunity.
