PHILADELPHIA — A familiar but forgotten face provided one of the more thought-provoking moments to come out of the Sixers’ annual pre-training camp media day on Monday. Somebody asked Shake Milton whether he had a good feel for what his role was going to be this season, and the fifth-year guard responded the only way he could have.
Well, not really.
“It’s crazy with the season happening, so much can change, so much can happen, it’s just up to you to kind of be ready and embrace anything that comes your way, especially coming off the bench and being in the second unit role,” said Milton, who has averaged 20-plus minutes per game in each of the last three seasons. “I know I’m going to be one of the leaders in that second unit so it’s kind of up to me to make sure guys are in the right spot, especially having some new guys join the team. So I’m excited for the challenge.”
