Dewayne Dedmon

Dewayne Dedmon is a nice stretch center now, but he use to be a journey big man trying to find a home in the NBA. He had a very short stint with the Warriors before being waived and then signed to two 10-day contracts with the Philadelphia 76ers during his rookie season. With Philly he averaged 3.4 points and 4.5 rebounds.

After his playing days with the Sixers were finished, he played for the Magic, Spurs and the Hawks. This summer he signed a deal to join the Sacramento Kings, who already have two rising big men in Marvin Bagley III and Harry Giles.

Richaun Holmes

Former general manager Sam Hinkie loved second round draft picks and Richaun Holmes was part of the reasons why. Holmes was an athletic big man that could finish around the rim and rebound at a good rate. In three seasons with the 76ers, he averaged 7.4 points and 4.2 rebounds.

He was traded to the Suns in the summer of 2018 and played well as the backup center for Ayton. He has joined the crowded front court that the Kings have and it will be interesting to see if he can carve out a role in Sacramento with so many talented big men.
