Following a quiet opening night to free agency, Daryl Morey has begun his efforts to revamp the Sixers' roster for this upcoming season. After agreeing to terms on a deal with Andre Drummond Tuesday afternoon, Morey has landed another free agent in Philadelphia.
A source confirms to
Sports Illustrated that Georges Niang will be signing a deal with the Sixers. The 27-year-old is coming off a four-year stint with the Utah Jazz.
Niang is a sharpshooting forward that should bolster the Sixers' second unit. Last season for the Jazz, he shot 42.5% from deep on 4.1 attempts per game, both career highs.
