The Delaware 87ers’ 2017-18 season saw the franchise continue its role as the Philadelphia 76ers’ affiliate while assembling a roster filled with young prospects, NBA assignments, and veteran G League contributors. Delaware finished 28-22 and returned to the postseason, with James Webb III emerging as one of the league’s most productive forwards and Christian Wood delivering an impressive all-around campaign that helped revive his professional trajectory. The team also received contributions from guards Lorenzo Brown and Jacob Pullen, while several players moved between Delaware and NBA opportunities during the year. Although the 87ers were eliminated in the opening round of the playoffs, the season is notable for Wood’s breakout performance and for a roster that featured multiple players who would go on to establish longer-term careers at higher levels of professional basketball.

Christian Wood Primary Offensive Engine (1.1) 33.1 High (1.2) 23.3 10.4 2.2 2.9 102.43 As Delaware’s offensive focal point, Wood combined face-up scoring, interior finishing and enough perimeter shooting to stretch defenses, while his rebounding and rim protection gave the 87ers a genuine two-way centerpiece. His 31-point, eight-rebound Showcase performance captured the matchup pressure he could create. G-League Showcase report All-NBA G League Second Team (2018); All-NBA G League Showcase Second Team (2018)
James Young Primary Wing Scorer (1.05) 32.8 High (1.2) 19.1 4.6 2.4 1.8 70.31 Young operated as a high-volume scoring wing, comfortable attacking closeouts and firing from deep rather than functioning as a traditional secondary option. The move from Wisconsin to Philadelphia did not erase his offensive responsibility, and his midseason recognition reflected how productive that role had become. Midseason G League honors for Young Midseason All-NBA G League Eastern Conference Team (2018)
Furkan Korkmaz Perimeter Shot-Making Wing (1.05) 31.9 High (1.2) 15.4 5.1 3.2 1.8 64.26 Korkmaz was used as a developmental scoring wing with real creation duties rather than simply parked in the corner. Philadelphia deliberately sent him to Delaware for live reps, where his shooting gravity and willingness to handle the ball made him one of the more versatile young pieces in the rotation. Korkmaz development with Delaware 2016 TBL All-Star; 2016 TBL Slam Dunk Contest Champion
Askia Booker Lead Pick-and-Roll Creator (1.05) 33.1 High (1.2) 14.5 3.3 6.4 1.3 64.26 Booker was the backcourt organizer, pushing tempo while carrying much of the half-court creation burden. The six-plus assists point to the broader responsibility, but his value came from repeatedly getting the ball into scoring actions and keeping Delaware’s offense moving. Askia Booker G League profile and season context
Shawn Long Interior Scoring Anchor (1.05) 22.5 Medium (1.1) 14.6 7.7 1.4 2.3 60.06 Long supplied physical interior offense and second-chance pressure, with his strength allowing Delaware to play through the paint without needing him to dominate possessions. He also remained a disruptive rebounder and shot blocker, making his minutes more valuable than a scoring-only role suggests.
Mike Young Stretch-Power Forward Creator (1.05) 31.3 High (1.2) 16.5 4.3 1.8 1.0 59.47 Young’s value came from combining frontcourt size with perimeter scoring, giving Northern Arizona a forward who could pull opposing bigs away from the paint. His 41-point outburst later that season showed the scoring ceiling behind the steadier two-way workload. G-League Showcase coverage of Mike Young All-NBA G League Showcase Second Team (2018)
Jacob Pullen Veteran Shot-Creating Guard (1.05) 28.4 High (1.2) 15.7 1.9 4.4 1.1 58.21 Pullen gave Delaware an experienced isolation and pick-and-roll option, with enough pull-up shooting to force defenses over screens. His short stint still carried substantial responsibility because the 87ers needed a veteran ball-handler capable of creating late in possessions. Pullen’s 2018 Delaware move
Demetrius Jackson Two-Way Lead Guard (1.05) 25.5 Medium (1.1) 13.0 3.4 4.6 1.5 51.98 Jackson brought downhill speed and point-guard instincts to a Delaware group that needed another organizer after his move from Houston’s system. His two-way status also shaped the assignment: he was expected to produce in the G League while remaining prepared for NBA duties. Jackson’s two-way role with Delaware
Devin Robinson Transition-Finishing Forward (1.05) 26.5 Medium (1.1) 13.0 5.3 1.6 1.7 49.90 Robinson functioned best in space, using his length and athleticism to run the floor, finish above the rim and defend across the forward spots. The Wizards’ frequent attention to his development reflected a player whose physical tools were already useful even when his half-court creation was less polished. Robinson’s Delaware assignment
James Webb III Stretch Forward Connector (1.05) 27.3 Medium (1.1) 11.6 6.7 1.4 1.5 48.97 Webb was a rangy forward whose offensive value increasingly centered on catch-and-shoot threes, while his rebounding and activity added utility around the lineup. Brooklyn’s decision to bring him onto a two-way deal reflected how useful that low-maintenance skill package had become. Webb’s two-way opportunity
Cameron Oliver Bench Frontcourt Spark (1.05) 24.6 Medium (1.1) 9.6 7.5 1.2 1.5 45.74 Oliver became a useful energy big after arriving from Wisconsin, bringing rebounding, weak-side shot blocking and enough three-point range to stay playable beside another interior scorer. His Delaware stint showed noticeable improvement in both shooting and rebounding efficiency. Oliver’s Delaware development
James Blackmon Jr. Instant-Offense Guard (1.0) 25.6 Medium (1.1) 12.8 3.3 2.4 0.6 42.02 Blackmon was primarily a shot-maker, capable of heating up quickly from three and creating offense when possessions broke down. His shooting profile made him particularly valuable when Delaware needed a perimeter scorer, even though defensive consistency remained part of the developmental equation. Blackmon’s G League scouting profile
James Michael McAdoo Mobile Interior Finisher (1.05) 28.2 Low (1.0) 8.8 5.8 2.3 2.8 41.37 McAdoo gave Delaware an athletic interior presence who could finish around the rim, switch defensively and make quick decisions as a passer. His stint was interrupted by the move to Agua Caliente, so the sample reflects a useful rotation role rather than a long-term offensive centerpiece. McAdoo professional career context NBA Champion (2015); NBA Champion (2017)
Emeka Okafor Veteran Defensive Anchor (1.05) 19.9 Medium (1.1) 6.8 8.0 1.4 1.5 40.89 Okafor’s contribution was built around positioning, rebounding and interior deterrence rather than volume scoring. His veteran presence stabilized Delaware’s frontcourt, and the subsequent NBA opportunity with New Orleans underscored how effective that defensive role remained. Okafor’s Delaware-to-NBA opportunity
Stefhon Hannah Reserve Table-Setter (1.0) 17.0 Low (1.0) 8.8 1.8 3.4 0.8 29.60 Hannah had a small sample, but his clearest function was ball distribution and secondary creation rather than primary scoring. Five appearances make any broader conclusion tentative; he was essentially a short-term guard option in a crowded backcourt. Stefhon Hannah Delaware game context
Kyle Randall Backup Point Guard (1.0) 22.2 Low (1.0) 6.9 2.1 3.7 0.5 26.40 Randall arrived late in the season and immediately filled a familiar floor-general role, giving Delaware another steady ball-handler rather than another high-volume scorer. The limited sample is important here: his contribution was primarily organizational. Randall’s Delaware acquisition
Tyshawn Abbott Glue Guy Starter (1.05) 26.2 Low (1.0) 6.2 1.8 2.1 0.9 23.10 Abbott’s role was built around spacing, ball movement and defensive effort while bigger scorers carried the offense. He started regularly despite modest scoring because his low-maintenance perimeter game allowed Delaware to keep its primary creators involved. Abbott career and Delaware context
Shane Edwards Veteran Stretch Reserve (1.0) 16.4 Low (1.0) 4.9 4.3 0.9 1.0 22.20 Edwards provided experienced forward depth and could operate as a complementary shooter rather than demanding touches. His Delaware stint was brief, making the safest reading a situational frontcourt role built around spacing and rebounding.
Marc Loving Stretch-Forward Reserve (1.0) 17.6 Low (1.0) 6.1 2.6 1.1 0.7 21.00 Loving was essentially a spacing-oriented forward, with his size and perimeter touch giving Delaware a way to widen the floor around its interior scorers. He was not a featured creator, but that complementary skill set helped explain his regular rotation presence. Marc Loving scouting profile
Jared Brownridge Catch-and-Shoot Reserve (1.0) 22.0 Low (1.0) 8.5 1.0 0.0 0.5 20.00 Brownridge’s two-game sample is too small for sweeping conclusions, but the role was unmistakably perimeter-oriented: get into the offense, space the floor and punish open looks. The sample should be treated as a snapshot rather than evidence of a sustained rotation role. Brownridge professional background
Andrew Andrews Short-Term Lead Guard (1.0) 14.5 Low (1.0) 5.5 1.0 3.3 0.0 19.60 Andrews was a brief-season ball-handling option whose main responsibility was initiating offense and keeping possessions organized. With only four appearances, the sample is too small to establish a lasting rotation role. Andrews Delaware player profile
Shannon Brown Veteran Athletic Reserve (1.0) 18.3 Low (1.0) 6.2 1.9 0.8 0.9 19.60 Brown brought veteran athleticism and defensive experience to Delaware after the January trade, functioning more as a situational wing than a featured scorer. His value was tied to physical perimeter play and transition ability in limited minutes. Brown’s Delaware stint and playing style
Julian Jacobs Defensive Utility Guard (1.0) 18.0 Low (1.0) 3.8 2.3 2.4 1.3 19.60 Jacobs filled the connective guard role, helping move the ball while using his activity to pressure opposing handlers. His scoring was secondary, and the modest usage makes the defensive and passing responsibilities more representative of his function. Jacobs Delaware game context
Darin Johnson Rotation Wing (1.0) 17.2 Low (1.0) 6.3 1.8 0.7 0.5 18.60 Johnson was a developmental perimeter piece who supplied spot shooting and size on the wing without needing the ball. His role stayed relatively modest, with Delaware using him as depth around its more established creators. Johnson’s Delaware roster role
Donte McGill Emergency Scoring Guard (1.0) 12.8 Low (1.0) 4.8 1.5 2.3 0.3 17.80 McGill’s four-game stint was an emergency opportunity rather than an established rotation assignment. He brought some ball-handling and attacking ability, but the tiny sample makes role evaluation necessarily cautious. McGill joins Delaware
Carlos Lopez-Sosa Deep Frontcourt Reserve (1.0) 4.0 Low (1.0) 0.0 2.0 1.0 0.0 6.00 With only one four-minute appearance, Lopez-Sosa’s contribution is best described as emergency frontcourt depth. The sample is far too small to infer anything beyond that limited roster function. Lopez-Sosa Delaware game context
