Four years later, he’s now back with Morey in Philadelphia, and will definitely be an upgrade to the bench that lacked depth last season.

In 2022, Melton posted career-highs in points per game (10.8) and rebounds per game (4.5). He’s a strong, versatile player who can play both guard positions and defend. Melton has shot 39% from three on just under five attempts/game over the last two seasons.
