Bolden continues to make it tough for the Sixers' front office to not make him apart of their plans this season.

Their options are either bring him up to the main roster and have him fight for minutes in an already crowded front court, or have him on a two-way deal which will allow him to continue to gain experience elsewhere.

On the final day of the Utah Jazz Summer League Friday (AEDT), the Sixers' sat number one overall draft pick Markelle Fultz and and shooting guard Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot, which opened up the door for the Aussie to make a statement.

Bolden helped lead the Sixers to a 94-86 win over the Spurs finishing with 16 points, eight rebounds and three steals in his best offensive game of Summer League.


With the Sixers' now heading to the Vegas Summer League, Bolden will face a bigger pool of talent and a lot more eyes will now be fixed on him.

Time will tell if he'll be able to secure a roster spot for the start of the season, but if his solid play on both end of the floor continue it will be tough for the Sixers' brass to keep him away from the main roster for long.
