With Jared McCain and Adem Bona done for the day at halftime and Ricky Council IV out for the whole game, David Jones and Jordan Tucker took over in the second half to close out the Sixers' summer league circuit with a 103-98 victory over the Boston Celtics.

Here's what I saw.

Likes

- There was intention in the way Jared McCain moved around the court on Sunday, showcasing his fit within a system on a real NBA team. First three touches of the game came courtesy of programmed options within the offense, McCain running up from the right corner to catch the ball off a DHO and assess the defense from there. His first catch off that action yielded a downhill attack for a layup. McCain rejected the second try off the catch, turning down the spotlight by swinging the ball to a teammate. The third yielded a three at the top of the key, which McCain converted.

Those play-calls are interesting given that McCain is a right-handed shooter. Theoretically, you would want to set him up to attack with momentum going toward his right side. All three actions flowed to his left side, challenging the rookie to get to his off hand.

- Speaking of McCain's shooting, he had his fair share of long and short misses in this one. But, the threes he laced in the first half all came in different contexts. The first, mentioned above, came running off a screen action. The second was a pull-up after creating some separation. The last one was a designed catch-and-shoot in the right corner. So, good display of versatility in his shooting game.

- Bona puts the value of his verticality and standing reach on full display when he blows up high-arching lobs before they even make it to the backside of the floor. You don't expect him to get up there, especially as a big without traditional size. But, he stretches his body to its limits to get a hand on the ball before its in range of even being dangerous for Philadelphia's defense. Bona has said that he played soccer growing up. But, I do wonder if there's any volleyball in his background. Those types of stretchy, athletic plays to pack a punch on the ball are exactly what you would see on a volleyball court.

- Speaking of Bona's defense, he had a great possession against Boston's Jordan Walsh. The Celtics wing thought he had an isolation that he liked, but Bona stayed on his feet and kept his balance, denying space and driving angles. Walsh was forced to throw up an awkward midrange jumper that had no chance of going in. As we've chronicled throughout summer league, Bona has moments in which he lacks discipline on defense. But, he has the tools to guard other positions in space. It's not difficult to wonder whether the Sixers will experiment with him switching and defending on the perimeter, whether it be with the big club or the Delaware Blue Coats.

- 12 points for Jordan Tucker in the third quarter. 18 points in the second half for David Jones, including what amounted to the game-winning three with a minute to play in the fourth quarter. They kept the Sixers going after McCain and Bona were done for the day at halftime.

Dislikes

- Bona deciding he's had enough of a particular possession and body-checking the offensive player with his arms raises to at least give a D-list actor's attempt at pretending it wasn't a foul is funny in summer league. But, he can't make it so obvious when the games start to count.

The Sixers finished Las Vegas Summer League with a record of 4-1.
