CAMDEN, N.J. -- The Philadelphia 76ers prioritized versatility, ball-handling, and depth with the addition of Trendon Watford early in free agency. The Sixers have been in need of somebody with his skillset as he stands at 6-foot-9, with a 7-foot-2 wingspan, and is an excellent passer.

Trendon is a young, dynamic player with a unique skill set who fits nicely with what we’re trying to accomplish on both sides of the ball,” said Sixers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey.

The Philadelphia 76ers made their first move in free agency by bringing in Trendon Watford on a reported 2-year $5.3 million deal. It is a good value signing for Philadelphia as it continues to build a roster around its Big 3.
