Gary Trent Jr.’s appeal partly stems from his high-volume three-point shooting, but he is also strong in perimeter defense, despite the Raptors’ weak performance in that area. The 76ers are not expected to struggle defensively, but with only Paul George and Caleb Martin as their forwards, adding a versatile wing player could be a beneficial move.
Reggie Bullock, who saw limited action with Houston last season, would be an excellent choice as a third-string wing. He is a solid defender and has a career 38.5 percent shooting rate from three-point range. Additionally, he’s just one season removed from being a regular starter for the Mavericks.
The 76ers urgently need to strengthen their wing positions, especially on defense, given the strong wing players of teams like the Celtics, Knicks, and Bucks. Bullock would also provide a significant boost to the locker room with his versatility and experience.
