The Philadelphia 76ers intend to sign F Justin Edwards to a new three-year contract after declining his team option, sources tell ESPN. 76ers and Klutch Sports' Rich Paul and Josh Hairston negotiated the new deal for Edwards, who averaged 10.1 points and 26 minutes last season. Happy for the kid. Reminds me of the Naz Reid situation some years back.

Xavier’s Zach Freemantle will join the Orlando Magic for NBA Summer League, I’m told. The two-time 2nd Team All-Big East forward averaged 16.8 PTS, 6.8 REB, 2.1 AST this season, earning nods for the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament and NABC Reese’s All-Star Game. Good college players. Might have a shot for our g-league team.

I mean, he's a second year player who wasn't a key rotation player. My guess is he plays the first two games and sit the reast.

Summer League squad should be fun again this year. PG. Jase Richardson SG. Johnell Davis SF. Tristan da Silva PF. Noah Penda C. TBD

The 2028 pick when Memphis traded up with Portland for Cedric Coward.

Love that Weltman was aggressive getting his guy. Especially, when you factor in that we don't have a 1st round pick next year, being able to get a 1st round talent in the 2nd round is a plus.

Sam V(ecenie) - (The Athletic) Penda is my kind of player, which is why he’ll likely be a bit higher here than he is compared to the consensus. He has enormous positional size, is a tough defender, processes the game well and has the potential to be a wing who can dribble, pass and shoot. I love his game in transition, and he’s a sharp passer. Defensively, he can gamble, but he generally knows where he’s supposed to be and is disruptive. He holds his line on defense and doesn’t allow guards or wings to go through his enormous frame. The swing skill here is the jumper. As long as Penda’s frame doesn’t get any bigger and thus slow his foot speed, he’ll be an impact player in the NBA if the jumper translates. He had good success with it this season, but this is a one-year sample that makes it hard to fully buy into. Still, I’m willing to take the flier on it working out. I have Penda as my highest-ranked international player, just outside the lottery on my board, and would happily take a chance that he’s the kind of player who can help you in a playoff series.

It's funny how Penda had on a pinstripe suit.

Sam Vecine said he thought Proctor was the pick at 32 because he heard he had a good workout with us. Also, I hope we sign Mark Sears as an UDFA.
