The Philadelphia 76ers are not done adding young players to the roster just yet. After selecting Duke’s Jared McCain and UCLA’s Adem Bona in the 2024 draft, they signed undrafted Kentucky swingman Justin Edwards to a two-way deal.
Now, they have reportedly signed another.
Per Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer, the Sixers will sign undrafted Memphis guard David Jones to a two-way deal. Jones averaged 21.8 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 1.8 assists along with 2.2 steals in the 2023-24 season. He also shot 38% from deep on 6.5 attempts per night. That type of 3-point percentage on that type of volume is what makes him attractive to this Sixers team coming out of college.
David Jones from University of Memphis agreed to sign a two-way with the Sixers, according to sources.

Jones will likely join Edwards, McCain, and Bona in the upcoming summer leagues. The Sixers will compete in the Salt Lake City and Las Vegas summer leagues.
For McCain and Bona, their spots are likely safe. When it comes to Edwards and Jones? They will have to prove themselves in order to earn their spots in the NBA.
