The 6-foot-4 guard led the American Athletic Conference (AAC) in assists (166), ranked second in three-point percentage (.442) and his .825 free-throw percentage ranked fourth in the conference.

A couple of 2017-18 76ers will also participate in MGM Resorts NBA Summer League 2018; second-year man Furkan Korkmaz, as well as Demetrius Jackson, who played for the 76ers and Delaware Blue Coats on a two-way contract.
