Report: Sixers to sign Mac McClung to Exhibit-10 contract

The Texas Tech product will reportedly play much of the season with the Delaware Blue Coats.

The Philadelphia 76ers have reportedly extended a camp deal — also known as an “Exhibit-10” contract — to unrestricted free agent point guard Mac McClung per new reporting from The Athletic’s Rich Hoffmann.

Per Hoffman, the undrafted 2021 NBA draft prospect is expected to play with the team’s affiliate in the G League (the Delaware Blue Coats) this season. A product of both Georgetown and Texas Tech, McClung has already become something of a journeyman in just one season, having played stints with the Chicago Bulls, Los Angeles Lakers, and Golden State Warriors as well as the G League affiliates of the former two clubs, the Windy City Bulls and South Bay Lakers.

The 6-foot-2 guard has played just two games at the NBA level in his career so far — too small of a sample size to know much about how he might do in the league with a bigger opportunity, especially with a club like Philly with designs on contention.

But McClung has looked solid at the G League level, registering 19.6 points, 3.3 rebounds, 5.8 assists, and 1.2 steals per game while shooting 40.3% from deep with the South Bay Lakers last season.

ESPN sets projection for Sixers wins at 48.3 games in 2022-23 season

ESPN projects that the Philadelphia 76ers will win 48.3 games in the 2022-23 season.

The Philadelphia 76ers figure to be one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference. They are led by star duo Joel Embiid and James Harden as well as rising star Tyrese Maxey. Throw in a very talented supporting cast and the Sixers should be in the title mix.

As the 2022-23 campaign gets underway, they should have considerable success. They won 51 games in the 2021-22 season and were the No. 1 seed in the East for the 2020-21 playoffs. This season should be no different.

ESPN sets its projection for the Sixers at 48.3 wins:

Although Philadelphia’s win projection is down a bit from last year’s 51, the Sixers look slightly better relative to the rest of the East after finishing as the fourth seed. After adding stout defenders in De’Anthony Melton and P.J. Tucker, Philadelphia is one of five teams projected to finish in the top 10 in both offensive and defensive rating.

If the Sixers can finish in the top 10 in both offense and defense, they would be one of the elite teams in the league. The Sixers now have to build their chemistry in training camp so they can deliver on such promise.

Single-game tickets for the Philadelphia 76ers in the 2022-23 season went on sale Friday morning.

The highly anticipated 2022-23 season for the Philadelphia 76ers is right around the corner. Considering the talent on the roster, they should be in the mix for winning their first championship since 1983.

Led by star duo Joel Embiid and James Harden, the Sixers made a number of big offseason moves to improve the depth around those two. The continued development of Tyrese Maxey as well as the presence of Tobias Harris and PJ Tucker should do wonders for the team’s title chase.

Predicting LSU basketball’s starting lineup next season

Here’s how things seem to be shaping up for Matt McMahon’s first season.

[autotag]Matt McMahon[/autotag] has done a fantastic job putting a roster together, and that might be an understatement.

Over the last few months, LSU’s roster has been filled out via the transfer portal, some recruiting and even convincing departing players to come back.

At this point, we have a pretty good idea about what that group will look like next year despite not having an official roster posted yet. That means we can start taking a stab at what the starting lineup will be.

This is harder than it is most years as there are so many variables surrounding these players. With talented freshmen, it’s always tough to predict if they will be ready. With transfers making the jump from a weaker conference, you never know how they will fare against consistently tougher competition. In Adam Miller’s case specifically, we don’t know what he will look like coming back from injury.

There will be plenty of competition to see how the minutes should be divided up. I also expect McMahon to play a lot of these guys as a lot of them are similar in talent and skill. There’s not much pressure on McMahon next year which means he can take some time to develop some guys and try out new things.

Here’s how we see the starting lineup breaking down as things currently stand.
