Sports Illustrated - Free-agent forward Lee Nailon agreed to terms with the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday.

Nailon, a 6-foot-9, 238-pounder, averaged a career-high 14.2 points and 4.4 rebounds in 68 games last season for the New Orleans Hornets .

"Lee will give us some added offense and experience," 76ers president Billy King said.

The former TCU player has averaged 8.9 points and 3.1 rebounds in five seasons Charlotte-New Orleans, New York, Atlanta, Orlando and Cleveland.


Sounds like a good signing.

Great move for the Sixers, Nailon is pretty under rated considering he stepped up every time the hornets needed him....

Ye. He is underrated. Did good for the Hornets last year. Hope he can post some good stats and help this 76ers team this year.

Agreed, Nailon is underrated and it's a good signing but I can't see him working his way into the rotation for 29 minutes per game as he did last season. Throughout his career he's been able to contribute decent numbers even in less than a quarter's worth of playing time so Philly should be able to make use of him.

Answer: NO

But his addition to the 76ers will definitely build a great bench especially defensive rotations.

Lee as everyone above said is underated. But not that much. He will be a solid bench player who will do the odd thing or two
