In his rookie campaign, Shake Milton saw success in both NBA and G League play.
Now, with year one and a freshly inked multi-year deal under his belt, Milton is hoping to add depth to the rotation as the 76ers continue their championship pursuit.
What to Watch For
In Milton’s 20 appearances as a Sixer in 2018-19, the Owasso, OK native averaged 4.4 points and 1.8 rebounds in 13.4 minutes of play.
While spending time with the Delaware Blue Coats, Milton quickly became one of the G League’s most potent scorers.
Averaging 24.9 points and 4.9 assists per game, Milton shot 48.4% from the floor and 80.4% from the foul line. He finished as the fourth-highest scorer in the G League.
After being temporarily sidelined due to injury, Milton returned strong, progressing steadily in the G League as the season continued -- including a standout 35-point, 13-assist double-double in March.
In his second professional season, Milton could bolster the team’s bench rotation as both a shot maker and creator.
Milton, who shot 42.7% from deep during his NCAA career at SMU and 36.7% during his time as a Blue Coat, will look this season to build upon his solid history as a shooter.
When it comes to mindset, Milton says it’s all about staying ready for any opportunity:

This summer, Milton fulfilled a long-time dream as he hosted his own free basketball camp in his hometown at Owasso High School.
