Goodbye Aaron Henry; Hello Charlie Brown Jr.!
The Sixers have waived forward Aaron Henry to make way for signing guard Charlie Brown Jr. Charlie stepped up big time during the Sixers match against the Spurs and Rockets after signing a 10-day hardship contract on January 3rd.
The 24 year old guard has a nose for rebounds. He collected 3 and 4 against the Spurs and Rockets, respectively, despite scant minutes. The St Joes alum declared for the 2019 draft and since going undrafted has bounced around on various two-way and G league contracts. His experience shines through in his decision making and off-ball positioning. Charlie moves with ease on the court to grab boards and make the effortless outlet pass.
Henry spent the majority of his season with the Sixers G-League affiliate, the Delaware Blue Coats. The 6’5 small forward played in only 6 NBA games but put up intriguing numbers as a Blue Coat. His season high in rebounds came in a November game against the College Park Skyhawks where he collected 10 rebounds and put up 14 points with great efficiency. Henry signed on as a two-way player after going undrafted in 2021. There is little doubt Aaron Henry will receive another shot in the NBA, even if it is not with the Philadelphia 76ers.
Hopefully, this shakeup on the margin will move the Sixers one step closer towards championship contention as they await a Ben Simmons trade.
