With prized rookie VJ Edgecombe sidelined for the final two games of the Salt Lake City summer league, the Philadelphia 76ers<\/a> got a chance to see what they have in Judah Mintz.<\/p>\n

Undrafted out of Syracuse, Mintz took the opportunity presented to him and he balled out. He had 21 points on 7-for-12 shooting including going 6-for-6 from the foul line in Monday’s loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder<\/a> before going for 26 points on 9-for-15 shooting and 8-for-9 from the foul line with three steals in Tuesday’s win over the Memphis Grizzlies<\/a>.<\/p>\n

All in all, Mintz averaged 18.7 points in the three games he played in Salt Lake City connecting on 21-for-23 on free throws and it was a big building block for him after he averaged 21.2 points in the G League playing for the Delaware Blue Coats.<\/p>\n

As the Sixers move forward in the summer league, one has to wonder what comes next for Mintz. He has a natural shiftiness to him and he has a knack for scoring the ball which has to make the Sixers wonder about giving him an opportunity when training camp rolls around in September.<\/p>\n

At the moment, the Sixers have three players on two-way deals: Jabari Walker, Hunter Sallis, and Dominick Barlow. One has to wonder if Philadelphia opens up a two-way slot to give Mintz a shot at the league. Especially, if he continues to score the ball this efficiently. He isn’t much of a shooter–he shot only 26.6% from deep in the G League–but his ability to get into the paint and create angles cannot be ignored. If he continues this scoring barrage in Las Vegas, he will certainly be worth a look in camp.<\/p>\n

One option the Sixers could do is waive Ricky Council IV, who has a non-guaranteed contract, convert Walker, and give Mintz an opportunity. That isn’t a report or anything, but it is a viable option for Philadelphia if it were to think about giving Mintz an opportunity. The Sixers could always use another ball-handler who can score off the bounce on the perimeter.<\/p>\n
