It is now August in the NBA offseason which means it’s a bit of a dull time in terms of any moves a team will make. However, it does mean that there is plenty of video out where players are putting in their final preparations for the upcoming season.

Melton is expected to add some legitimate two-way ability to Philadelphia’s bench unit. He averaged 10.8 points and 4.5 rebounds and he shot 37.4% from deep in the 2021-22 season with the Memphis Grizzlies.
