He's fun. Blocks and dunks are his game, nothing else. Will definitely provide some highlight moments at the rim.

He’s a good defender. I think he’s a better player than most think.
A good third center.

Nice, I'm glad he got picked up! Yeah, he's super fun! Lots of length, liked by teammates. He's not going to change much for your team, but can be a defensive presence around the rim for when DeAndre gets tired. He'll also make garbage time more fun to watch.

So right now we have 55th overall pick rookie Reggie Perry at backup center... so while this dude may be the third string type, we have a 4th string type playing.

on limited film he seems to do some things similar to jarrett allen

He's fun to watch and will bring energy but anyone who thinks he's a good defender is nuts. He will jump to block EVERYTHING - he averages 8.5 fouls per 36!

Ultimately he's not an NBA player but might provide some entertainment.
jonjames is a signature bet welcher.

He's a poor man's version of the guy you just got rid of: Jarrett Allen. He's him, except he can only give you 12 minutes before he fouls out.

He'd be the 76ers 3rd Center if we weren't stuck holding Porier and Bradley's salaries.

The Dollar Tree version of Clint Capela but that doesn't mean that the guy can't play or have an impact. He gave us great energy at times last year. Blocks a lot of shots, catches ally-oops. He might be pretty good playing with Harden, Kyrie, and KD. Should actually have a shot at the backup center minutes behind DJ.

I thought the sixers should've kept him as a 3rd center.

Return to Philadelphia 76ers
