Veteran big man Dewayne Dedmon officially arrived in Philadelphia — well, Camden — for the Sixers’ shootaround Wednesday afternoon.
The 33-year-old was brought to the Sixers in a buyout market move. The seven-footer is expected to be a physically-bigger option at backup center behind Joel Embiid than the current choices of Paul Reed and Montrezl Harrell.
Dedmon spoke to reporters at shootaround Wednesday about why he feels the Sixers will be a good fit for him.
“Just style of play. I feel like I can come in and help on the defensive end — talking, communicating, trying to be in the right spots,” he said.
