Fri Jun 21 2013 | 09:13 | Craig Brackins hoping for another NBA shot |
Craig Brackins is hoping to earn another chance in the NBA. |
"I'm finally feeling good about it and my shot is back," Brackins said. "The last time people saw me was in the D-League with a broken jump shot, and now it's like, 'Hey, he's shooting again. He's finally healthy.'" Brackins' career has largely been stunted by issues with his health, but he's going to have to take a training camp type of deal and prove he's worth a roster spot to stick somewhere. |

Sixers F Craig Brackins says his main focus this summer is getting stronger. |
Brackins, listed at 6-10/230, has taken up boxing twice a week in Philadelphia. He sees an opportunity on the Sixers' weak front line, but knows he can't bang with NBA bigs right now. If Brackins can transform his body, he'll get a look as a rotational backup next season. |

Beat writer Kate Fagan believes Craig Brackins will get minutes in a reserve role next season. |
Brackins has flashed some potential in the NBADL, but was unable to gain the trust of Doug Collins at the big-league level. He's still only 23 and has the size the Sixers are looking for. The main problem is that Brackins and Marreese Speights have similar styles -- and Speights is simply a better player. |
