The Philadelphia 76ers added some depth to their frontline on Sunday, reportedly inking forward JaKarr Sampson to a three-year deal.
Hearing former St. John's forward JaKarr Sampson, who played on 76ers' SL team, has signed a partially guaranteed 3yr deal w/Sixers.

Sampson is a 6-foot-8 forward who played for St. John's in the collegiate ranks last season. In 29 minutes per game, Sampson scored 12.8 points, grabbed 6.1 rebounds and dished out 1.2 assists.
Given the Sixers' total lack of NBA-caliber talent, Sampson could possibly see an abundance of playing time next season. He doesn't have much of a three-point shot but, by all accounts, is a ferocious dunker - so there's that.
