But the former Alabama guard is ready for a debut NBA season suddenly with \u201ca lot at stake.\u201d <\/p><div><\/div><p>\u201cThose older guys being able to teach us young players what we need to know, I feel like that\u2019s a very important thing for me,\u201d Philon said. \u201cJust being a rookie and being able to be around all those guys is a privilege for me. You don\u2019t get to see a rookie get to play with five guys that can potentially make an All-Star team [James, Brown, Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid, and VJ Edgecombe]. <\/p><div><\/div><p>\u201cI feel like you can learn every day, and every day you can compete against them to get better.\u201d<\/p><div><\/div><div><\/div><div><\/div><p>Perhaps Philon landing in the Sixers\u2019 lap with the 22nd overall pick foreshadowed what they would pull off during a transformational summer. On draft night, Philon called Philly the \u201cperfect spot\u201d for him on a FaceTime call with electric fellow guards Maxey, who last season earned All-NBA status for the first time in his career, and Edgecombe, who finished third on a fantastic Rookie of the Year ballot. <\/p><div><\/div><p>Then the Sixers acquired Brown in a stunning blockbuster trade, which sent former perennial All-Star Paul George and four draft picks to the Boston Celtics. Then James, arguably the best player of all time, chose to sign a two-year, $4 million deal with the Sixers as his final pursuit of a championship. Earlier this month, Philon lauded Brown\u2019s \u201cchampionship DNA.\u201d He added on Monday that he is eager to learn about how James takes care of his body, because he also would like his NBA career to last into his 40s. <\/p><div><\/div><p>\u201cBeing able to have that longevity,\u201d Philon said of James, \u201cthat\u2019s God-given ability.\u201d <\/p><div><\/div><div><\/div><p>In between his team\u2019s two monster personnel moves, Philon took the floor in a Sixers jersey for the first time at Las Vegas Summer League. <\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=3563\">Low on prospect capital, loaded with needs, the Phillies\u2019 best asset at the deadline turned out to be \u2026 Bryce Harper<\/a><\/p><div><\/div><div><\/div><div><\/div><p>He impressed with his crafty handle, passing ability, and fearless shot-taking. But the 6-foot-3, 176-pound Philon came away from those games recognizing he needed to \u201csharpen my tools,\u201d including quickening his shot release. During his two college seasons, Philon dramatically improved his stats, upping his three-point percentage from 31.5% to 39.7%, his scoring from 10.6 to 22 points per game, and his assists from 3.8 to 4.9 per game. <\/p><div><\/div><p>\u201cJust finding out how I can impact the team as much as I can,\u201d Philon said. \u201cI\u2019ve got to put in a lot of work. All of us got work to put in.\u201d <\/p><div><\/div><div><\/div><p>The Sixers\u2019 roster revamp means Philon\u2019s initially anticipated role might diminish or change. In addition to adding Brown and James, the team also signed sharpshooting reserve guard Anfernee Simons and is expected to sign veteran 3-and-D wing Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. But Sixers coach Nick Nurse has proven he is willing to play young guards, including Edgcombe and former Sixer Jared McCain as rookies. <\/p><div><\/div><p>\u201cHe\u2019s in the rotation until something changes,\u201d Nurse said of Philon at Summer League, before James signed. \u201cI just feel like he\u2019s talented enough. I think we liked him enough as a staff [and] organization. \u2026 He\u2019s going this direction [up] quickly, and I think he\u2019s got some confidence to him that I don\u2019t think he\u2019ll be afraid. I think he\u2019ll make the most of the opportunity.\u201d <\/p><div><\/div><div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"128\" height=\"128\" alt=\"The Inquirer logo\" class=\"wp-image-47\" src=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/faba80d67140212ba32240655442c529.png\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n        The King Picks Philly\n      <\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Purchase a front page reprint of The Philadelphia Inquirer from Saturday, July 25, 2026, featuring LeBron James following the news that he was joining the 76ers.
