GALLOWAY TWP, N.J. - The 76ers will finally get an opportunity to see what happens when they deploy Nerlens Noel and Jahlil Okafor side-by-side.
The two big men will become the franchise's most important tandem on Tuesday morning at Stockton University. That's when the Sixers begin the first of eight training camp practices that conclude on Saturday.
The pairing of the two 6-foot-11 post players was among the biggest topics Monday when the team met with the media at Stockton Seaview Hotel & Golf Club.
"I'm definitely excited about it," said Okafor, the third overall pick in the NBA draft out of Duke.
