Potential Sixers Free Agency Prospect Signs With Rival Knicks
With the Philadelphia 76ers likely in the market for a veteran forward, one name to keep an eye on was Precious Achiuwa. Considering Achiuwa plays a position in need for Philadelphia and has ties to 76ers head coach Nick Nurse, there was a potential link between the former Toronto Raptors veteran and Philadelphia. On Tuesday, the New York Knicks announced they had re-signed the veteran forward. Achiuwa remains a direct rival of the 76ers.

McCain is one of the best shooters in this draft, shooting 41.8% from 3-point range and shot lights out at the combine in front of every NBA executive and scout. Even though he's undersized at 6-foot-3, 197 pounds, Philadelphia knows exactly what it's getting from him as a reliable shooter who competes at a high level.

Bona showed more promise as a pick-and-roll big during the 5-on-5 scrimmages at the combine but still needs to be a bit more patient defensively. He can come in and play right away alongside Jared McCain in the second unit with his size and strength on the block combined with McCain's outside shooting.
