That being written, the Celtics signed Justin Champagnie, brother of former 76ers two-way player Julian Champagnie, at the end of the regular season to fill out their roster. He played two regular season games and a total of 23 minutes so not a lot to take from his time as a member of Boston’s roster.
Justin Champagnie has been a fringe NBA player with his other stop being with the Toronto Raptors. For his career, he’s averaged 2.2 points on 33.3 percent from the 3-point line. In terms of his, he won’t provide much for the Sixers if signed this offseason.
However, the 76ers are bound to see roster turnover, and adding cheap talent will be a must this off-season. A young athletic 6-foot-6 wing would be an interesting addition but in all reality signing him won’t improve the roster in any substantial way.
