The 6'8" forward was a first-round pick of the Celtics in 2016.

He opened eyes during France's Olympic run, and scored 20 points (6-of-14 FGs, 7-of-10 FTs), grabbed two rebounds, and added two steals in the Gold Medal game for Team USA.

Over in Paris he scored averaged 14 points a game, shooting 51.9% from the field.

He brings the Sixers a stretch four that can space the floor, shooting 39.4% from 3-point range for Real Madrid last season.
