The Philadelphia 76ers have reportedly agreed to terms with sweet shooting guard Scottie Wilbekin:
Philadelphia has agreed to a four-year deal with summer guard Scottie Wilbekin, league sources tell RealGM. Wilbekin opts out in Australia.

Wilbekin played well for the Sixers during the summer league, and checks off two boxes the Sixers sorely need: point guard depth and shooting. He averaged 16.2 points per game and shot 48% from deep during the summer league. In one game, he shot 6-8 from deep and scored 24 points.
Wilbekin, a graduate from the University of Florida that went undrafted in 2014, also excels on the defensive side of the ball. He played overseas in Australia and Greece last year, and is hoping to latch on with the Sixers this year.
Wilbekin follows the signing of another point guard with some shooting touch, Pierre Jackson. The Sixers could still use some help at the guard spot, however, and are reportedly interested in former New Orleans Pelican, Norris Cole.
