The Delaware 87ers’ 2015-16 season was shaped by a roster that blended established NBA hopefuls with veterans looking for another opportunity. While the team finished 21-29, the year featured several notable individual stories, including strong scoring campaigns from Sean Kilpatrick and Jordan McRae, both of whom later earned NBA opportunities. Delaware played at one of the league’s faster tempos, regularly leaning on aggressive guard play and transition offense. The roster also saw appearances from former NBA players such as Earl Clark and Rodney Carney, while a young Christian Wood continued his early professional development. Although the 87ers did not reach the postseason, the season stands out for the number of players who either returned to or eventually broke through at the NBA level, reflecting the transitional nature of the squad.
