Barber

The 76ers now have 19 players under contract and will be able to bring in one more for training camp. The 76ers don’t have the best depth at PG, but Barber still has a lot of work to do in order to make the 15-man roster.

The former N.C. State star, who is commonly known as Cat Barber, averaged a stellar 23.5 points during his junior season in 2015-16. He went undrafted but it didn’t take long for New Orleans to offer him a make-good deal for Summer League. We’ll let you know if the 6'3" guard makes waves during the offseason.

He’s likely just going to be a camp body for the 76ers. Barber had a somewhat disappointing Summer League with the Pelicans, averaging 6.2 points, 1.2 boards, 0.5 assists and 0.2 steals.

Bayless has no timetable for a return and his absence could extend into the regular season. T.J. McConnell should get the start at PG with Sergio Rodriguez backing him up.

Barber, an undrafted free agent, needs to show something in order to have any kind of chance to stick on Philly’s roster, but he’s not going to be able to do that if he can’t get on the floor.

Barber has been dealing with an injury to his right hand, but is finally ready to return to preseason action. While he could earn a roster spot with a solid finish to the preseason, Barber won’t have any fantasy value.

None of the injuries are believed to be serious, but the Sixers will play it safe with all three early on in the preseason. While Barber and Stauskas aren’t worth a pick in standard fantasy leagues, Bayless will have fantasy value as the Sixers presumed starting point guard.

Bayless has been nursing a wrist injury for the past week, but there’s no indication that he’s dealing with a significant injury here. He’s currently the favorite to start at the point guard slot for the 76ers, so he’s worth a late-round look for those seeking some 3-point shooting with a trickle of assists and steals. Barber is not worth drafting in any setting.

Barber suffered an injury to his right hand and wrist in practice and did not travel with the team on Tuesday. While the Sixers will likely give Nik Stauskas some run at point guard on Tuesday, Barber doesn’t have much fantasy value at the moment.

None of these guys are dealing with a significant injury, but there’s just no reason to play anyone at less than 100 percent this early in the season. T.J. McConnell will be earning the start tonight sans Bayless, and there will be some more minutes available for Nik Stauskas and Sergio Rodriguez.
