It looks like Jahlil Okafor has found his next landing spot.
ESPN is reporting that Okafor, the 76ers’ top pick in the 2015 NBA draft, will sign with the New Orleans Pelicans. A reporter from The Athletic is saying it’s a two-year deal with the first year partially guaranteed.
The Duke product was expected to become another piece of the Sixers’ “Process.” But it didn’t work out that way. He played in 53 games in his first season with Philly (starting 48 of them), averaging 17.5 points and 30 minutes per game and earning first-team all-rookie honors.
