Although he was unable to renew his forward general, the 76ers have quickly found a successor for him?

According to reports from ESPN authoritative journalist Shams Charania, former Brooklyn Nets forward Trendon Watford, who was previously in free agency, reached an agreement with the Philadelphia 76ers, who received a two-year contract from the 76ers with a total amount of 5.3 million.

Watford was born in November 2000 and is 24 years old, 203cm tall and weighs 108kg. He is the undraft in the 2021 NBA Draft. Although he was a undrafted, Watford received a two-way contract from the Portland Trail Blazers after the draft, which also shows that his ability and potential are still highly favored. Watford has played for the Trail Blazers and the Brooklyn Nets in the NBA. He actually got a lot of playing time in these two teams. His performance at some point was quite highlighted, but he still couldn't get more trust and support, and he had never been able to get a stable contract.

In the NBA regular season last season, Watford made a total of 43 appearances, averaging 21.2 minutes per game, averaging 10.5 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.3 blocks, and 1.9 turnovers and 2.2 fouls, shooting percentage of 46.9%, three-point shooting percentage of 33%, and free throw shooting percentage of 76.2%. Watford's ability on the offensive end is actually very distinctive. His offensive efficiency is still good. He also has very good passing ability and support ability. However, his performance on the defensive end is still very average. He is not an excellent defender, and his personal defense ability is relatively poor. Of course, Watford is also a very distinctive player, and he is still able to create some threats and troubles for his opponents on the offensive end. The purpose of signing Watford by the 76ers is also clear. Due to their limited salary space, they are not able to renew the contract for forward player Guerschon Yabusele. Considering the importance of Yabusele last season, they also need to find a suitable stand-in for him. In this case, the scoring ability is good, and it is reasonable to enter the 76ers' sight with comprehensive offensive functions. But Watford has no experience in playing in a strong team, nor has he appeared in the playoffs. Although he looks good in statistics, whether he can take on more responsibilities and perform better when the team needs him to stand up is also a huge question mark. Will Watford be the opportunity for him to prove his abilities next season?
