New: Jabari Walker leads NBA two-way players in appearances in 2025-26. Dominick Barlow leads in total minutes and minutes per game. I did the deepest of dives into the Sixers’ remarkable two-way success this season. What’s powering it? What happens next?

The Sixers might be extracting more value from two-way players than any other team in the NBA as a pair of young forwards has saved the team's depth.

Pick 6 leaders for this season. Maxey is on pace to have the highest total pick 6s since 2017 (the previous high for a season is 12)
Anthony Edwards ranks 3rd in the NBA in pick-6s (I defined it as a FGM by a player within 3 seconds of a intercepted pass by the same player), behind Rozier and Thybulle. However, he leads the league in pick-6s thrown. The code to find this using #rstats: https://t.co/cjyIgqyUP2

New: Today’s Sixers mailbag is live and loaded! I wrote about who might get squeezed out of the rotation if the Sixers reach full strength + frustration over Jared McCain’s minutes vs. LAL. Before that: a trade question that might break your brain. Sorry! https://t.co/iVCFHvf2w2

Another delay on crypto rules and all eyes are on @SenLummis. Is this about policy… or a generational gap in understanding tech? https://t.co/easJqaldUa

FWIW, Jared McCain and Bronny James were in the same class playing in the same area in high school. Reminds me of this anecdote from Sixers @ Lakers last year, one of McCain’s first NBA games with extended minutes:

Have gotten this question a bunch today. Here was Nick Nurse’s explanation: “The only reason was they were really big on the floor and just, we were getting really pounded physically. And not the greatest matchup for him defensively was the reason, yeah.”
@SixersAdam Why’d McCain not play in the third quarter tho? Does Nick Nurse hate TikTok?

Officially taking questions for this week’s Sixers mailbag! Happy to hit anything you’ve been wondering about as we head into this stretch of two games in 11 days: Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, rotation stuff, trade previews, two-way nerd info, beat writing, you name it. Fire away!
