The Philadelphia 76ers wrapped up a challenging 2024-25 season, finishing with a disappointing 24-58 record and missing the playoffs for the first time since 2017. This year was marked by significant injuries and player rotations, leading the team to utilize an NBA record 53 different starting lineups. Among the roster, Jeff Dowtin Jr., a two-way guard, emerged as a reliable presence off the bench, contributing solid ball-handling skills and offensive support when called upon.
Dowtin logged a career-high 41 games, showcasing his ability to adapt under pressure. He averaged 12.8 points per game in March and 16.0 points in April, with standout performances including a career-best 30-point game against the Washington Wizards. His shooting prowess, particularly a 50% accuracy from beyond the arc, helped maintain team competitiveness during a tumultuous season. Dowtin's future remains uncertain as he transitions out of his two-way contract, but his contribution in a year filled with challenges earned him a solid B-plus grade.
