Watford is a player who uses his athleticism and handles to get to the basket and get his points, so his ability to handle the ball will be a big help to the Sixers. This current era of the NBA focuses a lot on wing depth and extra ball-handlers to make things move in the right direction so Watford helps in that regard.

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.
