Maybe you’ve seen him at your younger cousin’s bar-mitzvah. Or maybe you’ve seen him coaching a camp at his alma mater, Norfolk State. Or maybe you’ve seen him just living his best life on Instagram. Philadelphia 76ers fans can expect this sort of exuberance from the “big ole teddy bear-like”, blue-collar hustler by the name of Kyle O’Quinn this season.
The Sixers signed the 29-year-old to a veteran minimum deal. The 6-foot-10, 250-pound big man will be an exceptional second or even third-string backup to Joel Embiid this season.
With the signing of Al Horford, O’Quinn will most likely be not the main backup to Embiid when he takes some much-needed rest games.
