The Philadelphia 76ers officially announced on social media that the team has cut off wing player Ricky Council IV. Consill signed a four-year partial guarantee contract with the 76ers in April 2024, of which the salary for the 2025-26 season was $2.22 million, but it is not guaranteed, while the contract for the 2026-27 season is the team option.

Consill was born in August 2001 and is 23 years old, 198cm tall and weighs 94kg. He is the undraft in the 2023 NBA Draft. The 76ers immediately provided him with a two-way contract after the draft, which also shows that the team is quite optimistic about his ability. In the past two seasons, Consill has made a total of 103 appearances, averaging 14.7 minutes per game, averaging 6.7 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.4 steals, and 0.1 blocks. He also had 0.5 turnovers and 0.8 fouls. His shooting percentage was 40.2%, a three-point shooting percentage of 27.3%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 78.6%. Consill didn't play much in his rookie season, but last season, due to the team's large number of injuries, his playing time also improved significantly, and he also became a member of the team's regular rotation lineup.

In the NBA regular season last season, Consill played a total of 73 games, averaging 17.1 minutes per game, averaging 7.3 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 0.7 turnovers and 0.9 fouls. His shooting percentage was 38.2%, a three-point shooting percentage of 25.8%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 80.4%. In the NBA Development League last season, Consill played 2 times for the Delaware Blueshirts, a subordinate team of 76ers, with averaging 37.6 minutes per game, averaging 34.5 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.5 blocks, 2 turnovers and 2.5 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 47.8%, a three-point shooting percentage of 38.9%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 84.6%. Consill's performance in the NBA is indeed not ideal, and he has not shown enough competitiveness. However, in the NBA Development League, he has also shown his strong personal abilities, and his performance has left a deep impression on everyone.

Consill's personal abilities are actually quite good. He has super physical talent and athletic ability. On the offensive end, he can use his advantages in this area to complete the impact on the opponent's inside line. However, Consill's weakness is still quite obvious. He is often on the offensive end, his outside shooting stability is seriously insufficient, he is very unreasonable in offensive choices, and he also has certain problems with his concentration on the defensive end. Of course, Consill is also a player with very distinctive characteristics. Can he quickly find a job next?
