ANALYSIS
After going undrafted out of Syracuse in June, Mintz linked up with the 76ers for the Salt Lake City and Las Vegas Summer Leagues and averaged 9.5 points, 1.5 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.1 rebounds in 19.2 minutes. The 21-year-old point guard showed potential as a defender during his two seasons of college at Syracuse and demonstrated an ability to get to the free-throw line in the summer, but a suspect jumper could prevent him from emerging as an NBA regular. Mintz is likely to get waived before the start of the regular season and is expected to begin his career in the G League with the 76ers' affiliate, the Delaware Blue Coats.
