Former Philadelphia 76ers big man Norvel Pelle has been looking for his next opportunity after having a solid rookie season in Philadelphia. He appears to have found it with a title contender in the East depending on passing the league’s health and safety protocols.
Pelle will sign a deal with the rival Brooklyn Nets who have been in need of some size and rim protection after moving a lot to acquire superstar James Harden. Pelle played in 24 games with the Sixers while averaging 1.3 blocks for a total of 31 in his rookie season with the Sixers. He will be able to provide both of the aspects that the Nets need right now.

This is a good opportunity for Pelle as he will now have a chance to be a major contributor to a title contender. The Nets are in need of his services and he will be able to learn from a good veteran in DeAndre Jordan.
