At just 22, Walker is an extremely intriguing addition for the 76ers.

Via Kyle Neubeck of PHLY Sports: "Jabari Walker is signing a two-way deal with the Sixers.

Spent the last three years in Portland — 6'9" forward who has been a good defensive rebounder and showed some signs of shooting progress last season."
