sixers fans should be thrilled, melton is solid on both ends of the court and a joy to watch
Melton is an absolute balls-on accurate perfect fit next to Maxey and Harden, I've been in love with him for six years, and sometimes you gotta pass up the boat for a sickass jetski

De'Anthony Melton is a terrific pickup for Philadelphia – exactly the kind of athletic guard the 76ers need alongside James Harden.
https://t.co/Y5ZMcLThsxDe'Anthony Melton is one of the best! Memphis is going to miss him. Cheering for him always!
The #Sixers definitely got their tough guy in Melton. He’s a solid good backup, who is fairly versatile. Melton averaged 10.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.4 steals and 22.7 minutes this season. He shot 40.4% from the field, including 37.4% from 3.

https://t.co/0YwGAN85qDDe'Anthony Melton just turned 24 last month. He could be part of the Sixers' win-now and win-later window.
And he's up for a new contract right when Tobias comes off the books, too.
New Sixer De’Anthony Melton 😯
He also shot 41% and 37% from three over the last 2 years

Melton has juice, but the Sixers need more. if Josh Harris decides to sell his shares of River Pollution Consulting Group and buys a 2nd round pick, some wing-types Daryl should draft:
- EJ Liddell
- Justin Lewis
- Kendall Brown
- Vince Williams Jr
- Jaden Hardy
- Jabari Walker
Philly dad’s trying to differentiate Milton and Melton coming off the bench is going to be awesome next season

I think pick 23 is a lot but man DeAnthony Melton is a GREAT pickup
Fantastic fit next to Harden and Embiid
Melton will be the best backup point guard we've had in the Embiid era, think about that
The Sixers traded Danny Green and the No. 23 pick to the Grizzlies for De'Anthony Melton tonight.
Are you underwhelmed, overwhelmed, or... just whelmed? 👀🤔

@CUREInsurance 
Melton can shoot defend is athletic and is only 24 this is a good move
If Harden opts in as expected, here's an updated look at the Sixers' cap sheet with Melton factored in.
Tough to see a realistic path to the NTMLE from here.
