Quentin Grimes

Whether he was trying to facilitate or not, there were plenty of assist opportunities early for Grimes, though just about every three going in will help that. Milwaukee didn’t seem to have a clue on how to guard five out in the opening minutes. His scoring bursts were fewer and far between, but there was a long part of the second quarter where he was the only Sixer who could score.

For as many assists as he finished with, he really didn’t put himself into many turnover opportunities, another very encouraging sign from the night.

Grade: B-

Justin Edwards

Despite the offensive explosion it was a quieter start for the other rookie. He may be experiencing some three-point regression after a hot couple of weeks. Edwards still did plenty of good things in this game though. He didn’t quite take advantage of them, but he had a couple of really nice spin moves that completely lost defenders.

Grade: C

Colin Castleton

An extended stretch for Antetokounmpo ending the first quarter and starting the second put an end to the minutes mirroring as Bona finally needed a breather. Castleton was absolutely thrown into the fire, being given that assignment hours after signing with the team. It went about as well as expected, and the 14-point lead the Sixers had built disappeared almost instantly. That says more about the job Bona was doing than Castelton’s capabilities, but he didn’t have much else going on otherwise. He made one post hook but missed the rest of his shots, grabbed a couple rebounds, and threw a nice pass to a cutting Grimes.

Grade: C for Tank Commander.

The Sixers remain at home to take on another team fighting for playoff positioning. They’ll host the Minnesota Timberwolves Saturday night at 7 p.m. ET.
