Observations from Charlie Brown Jr., Sixers in loss to Nets in Vegas

Here are some observations from Charlie Brown Jr. and the Philadelphia 76ers from their summer league loss over the Brooklyn Nets in Vegas.

The Philadelphia 76ers continued their summer league season on Sunday afternoon when they took on the Brooklyn Nets in Las Vegas. After a fourth-quarter collapse on Saturday, the Sixers had a better effort 24 hours later in Vegas.

The Sixers and the Nets went back-and-forth all afternoon before Brooklyn could pull away and come up with a 91-84 victory. Charlie Brown Jr. had a solid day off the bench with 14 points and four steals as the Sixers made just enough plays in this one.

Cassius Winston led Philadelphia with 16 points, five rebounds, and seven assists, Charles Bassey had 11 points and nine rebounds, and Jaden Springer added nine and three steals. Trevelin Queen added nine and Malik Ellison had eight and five boards. Isaiah Joe left with right shoulder soreness and had three points in 8:08.

Here are the observations in the win:

Observations from Charles Bassey, Sixers in SLC summer win over Jazz

Here are some observations as the Philadelphia 76ers knocked off the Utah Jazz in the Salt Lake City summer league win on Wednesday.

The Philadelphia 76ers continued their Salt Lake City summer league tour on Wednesday when they took on the Utah Jazz looking to bounce back from a loss on Tuesday. They would have to do so without the services of Paul Reed, Isaiah Joe, and Jaden Springer who all sat out in this one due to reconditioning.

With those players being out, it allowed others to chine and show off some of their game. It also allowed Trevelin Queen to make his summer debut with the Sixers and it allowed Charles Bassey to do more with Reed sitting out. The result was an 86-82 win over the Jazz with Bassey scoring 17 points and nine rebounds.

Charlie Brown Jr. had 12 points and two steals, Queen had 15 and four rebounds, and Cassius Winston added 11 and six assists. Myles Powell had 13 and four steals off the bench while Julian Champagnie pulled down 10 rebounds for Philadelphia in this one.

Here are some observations from the summer league win:

It appears, at least on the surface, that Cassius Winston’s time with the Washington Wizards is coming to a close. It was reported on Monday by JD Shaw of HoopsRumors.com that Winston will be joining the Philadelphia 76ers NBA summer league team.

Winston was originally drafted by the Wizards and stuck around on a two-way deal with the team for a few years.

Winston will follow in the footsteps of his fellow Spartan Aaron Henry, who played on the 76ers summer league squad last summer.

WATCH: Cassius Winston hits big-time fourth quarter three-pointer

Watch former Michigan State basketball star Cassius Winston drain a big-time three-point bucket.

Michigan State fans know about Cassius Winston’s big shot ability very well, especially late in basketball games. Winston still has that ability while playing in the NBA. While he doesn’t play often, Winston always seems to make the most of the minutes that he is able to get off of the Washington Wizards bench.

In the fourth quarter of the Wizards game against the Indiana Pacers, Washington trailed Indiana by 6 when Winston stepped up to hit a big-time three-point shot.

Watch the big bucket from Cassius Winston here:

Michigan State basketball PG Jaden Akins working out with MSU legend

Jaden Akins is working out with Cassius Winston

A well-run Tom Izzo team always has one constant, solid point guard play. Michigan State fans have been spoiled with that throughout the Izzo era, from Mateen Cleaves to Drew Neitzel, Kalin Lucas and Cassius Winston.

The newest point guard added to the program is 2021 recruit Jaden Akins of Farmington, Michigan. Akins is a different type of point guard than MSU fans are used to, being a bigger-bodied player.

Michigan State fans will most certainly gain a good piece of mind, knowing Akins is in the gym working out with Michigan State legendary PG, Cassius Winston.

Akins is expected to make a major impact in the rotation this upcoming season for the Spartans.

Cassius Winston’s NBA journey will officially continue this season, as it was reported on Saturday by Fred Katz that the former Spartan has re-signed with the Washington Wizards on a two-way deal that will allow him to spend time with their G-League affiliate, the Capital City Go-Go.

Winston was put in a tough situation last year as the G-League only had a shortened season within a bubble environment. Winston instead spent most of the season with the Wizards, where he was only given 4.5 minutes per game in 22 games played. He did shoot 47.1-percent from three on a low volume but that expert shooting along with his smart play will extend his stay with the Wizards.

The ability to go down to the G-League more freely this year should suit Winston well, and he will be able to show what he is able to when given the keys to an offense instead of playing in a limited, reserve role.
