Trendon is a young, dynamic player with a unique skill set who fits nicely with what we’re trying to accomplish on both sides of the ball,” said Sixers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey.

Watford is a player who uses his athleticism and handles to get to the basket and get his points, so his ability to handle the ball will be a big help to the Sixers. This current era of the NBA focuses a lot on wing depth and extra ball-handlers to make things move in the right direction so Watford helps in that regard.

Former LSU standout Trendon Watford is on the move for Year 5 of his NBA career, signing a 2-year deal with a new team on Wednesday.
