In a statement within the team’s press release, 76ers general manager Elton Brand calls Shayok, a former Iowa State wing, a “natural-born scorer who is committed to being a tough defender.”
The 54th overall pick in the draft, Shayok spent his final college season at Iowa State, where he got a chance to take on a starring role after three years at Virginia. In his senior year, the 6’6″ Canadian averaged 18.7 PPG, 4.9 RPG, and 2.0 APG, with a shooting line of .496/.386/.878, earning First Team All-Big 12 honors.
Philadelphia signed Norvel Pelle to a two-way contract on Tuesday, so Pelle and Shayok appear poised to open the 2019/20 season as the club’s two-way players. They figure to split time between the NBA club and the Delaware Blue Coats, the Sixers’ G League affiliate.
Roster is 100% set now that’s 15 players. 13 NBA contracts n 2 two ways. No point in thinking about any remaining FAs.
They can go up to 15+2.
