The Philadelphia 76ers are still looking for someone to fill the roster spot that was held by Hollis Thompson and according to Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer, the team plans to hold workouts for four NBA D-League guards on Monday. IN the mix is Delaware 87ers guard Cat Barber. Meanwhile, Adrian Wojnarowski added the the Sixers are also interested in a duo of NBA veteran guards without jobs at the moment, including Nate Robinson

Barber, 22, has played in 19 games for the Sevens this season, averaging 13.9 points and 4.1 assists, shooting just under 44 percent from the floor and 41 percent from beyond the arc.

Weber, 24, is averaging 14.1 points, 7.6 rebounds and 7.0 assists in the D-League this season. He played with the Heat at times last year and played his college career at Virginia Commonwealth. 

Ferrell, 23, is out of Indiana and is playing D-League ball with the Long Island Nets. He's averaging 19.3 points and 5.5 assists in 23 games this season.

Randle, 23, is with the Knicks D-League affiliate, averaging 20.7 points per game while shooting 42.2 percent from the floor and 40.2 percent from beyond the arc. 

As mentioned by Woj, the Sixers also have their eyes on Nate Robinson and Jordan Farmar. Robinson, 32, has played 10+ seasons in the NBA, averaging 11 points and three assists. He last played in two games with the Pelicans during the 2015-16 season. Meanwhile, Farmar has 9+ seasons of NBA experience, averaging 7.7 points per game.
