Rayan Rupert talks his two-way deal with Sixers, praises Jaylen Brown

Big man Rayan Rupert discusses his two-way deal with the Philadelphia 76ers and praises Jaylen Brown for his work.

Philadelphia 76ers have a history of success with players on two-way deals, including Jabari Walker, Dominick Barlow, and Ricky Council IV. Rayan Rupert, the young French big man, has joined the Sixers under a similar arrangement. He has been learning from veterans such as Jaylen Brown, who has been working out with him after practice.

Brown's ability to drive to the basket, bump defenders, and communicate defensively are valuable lessons for Rupert. He aims to improve his three-point shooting consistency and work on all aspects of his game every day. As he prepares for the upcoming preseason game against the Brooklyn Nets, Rupert is grateful to have Brown as a mentor and role model.
