Philadelphia 76ers Sign Jalen Hood-Schifino To A Two-Way Contract
The Philadelphia 76ers have signed former first-round pick Jalen Hood-Schifino to a two-way contract, giving the young guard a fresh opportunity in the NBA. After being waived by the Utah Jazz without playing a game—part of the Anthony Davis trade that also sent Luka Dončić to the Lakers—Hood-Schifino now joins Nick Nurse’s system. Given the Sixers’ struggles this season, they should develop him as a versatile swingman, similar to Quentin Grimes, rather than a lead guard.
At 6’4″, 215 lbs, Hood-Schifino has the defensive instincts and playmaking ability to thrive, but his lack of elite burst and inconsistent shooting make him a better fit as a two-way wing rather than a primary ball-handler. His G League production (22.0 PPG, 5.3 APG on 47.3% FG, 43.2% 3PT) suggests he has potential if used in the right role.
This video breaks down Hood-Schifino’s fit with the Sixers, how they should develop him, and why following the Quentin Grimes blueprint could maximize his impact.
