PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Nikola Vucevic and Lavoy Allen helped the 76ers get big.
Now, they can only hope that means they’ll help them get better.
Vucevic and Allen were introduced by the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday, a day after they were picked in the NBA draft. The 7-foot, 260-pound Vucevic, out of USC, was taken with the 16th overall pick. The 6-foot-9, 225-pound forward Allen, out of Temple, was their second-round pick.
Both are expected to bolster a frontcourt that lacked size.
Team president Rod Thorn says both players fit into the Sixers’ plans and can help the team make the leap from 41 wins to 50.
