The Philadelphia 76ers continue to beef up their shooting department. After struggling so much to shoot the ball and space the floor in the 2019-20 season, they now have plenty of shooters they can call upon to help Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid operate on offense.
After making big trades for Danny Green and Seth Curry on draft night, the team then selected Isaiah Joe in Round 2. To add to it, the Sixers added another shooter on Tuesday who should be a familiar face for Sixers fans.
The team will sign Ryan Broekhoff to a deal ahead of training camp on Dec. 1. Philadelphia had signed Broekhoff to an exhibit 10 contract before the bubble over the summer, but he did not end up playing after his wife tested positive for COVID-19.
Free agent F Ryan Broekhoff has agreed to a deal with the Philadelphia 76ers, agent Andy Shiffman of @PrioritySports tells ESPN.

Broekhoff has spent the first two seasons of his NBA career with the Dallas Mavericks where he shot 40.3% from deep. Of his 3.5 field goal attempts in the 2019-20 season, 3.0 of them were from deep so he is a guy who focuses a lot on the shooting aspect of the game which is exactly what this team needs.
