Sixers to sign Derrick Walton
Adrian Wojnarowski: The 76ers agreed to a one-year deal with free agent G Derrick Walton Jr., sources tell ESPN.
Even with a 10-day deal, Walton isn’t worried about making a big impression and putting additional pressure on himself. He wants to take things in stride and figure out what the coaching staff wants and to transition into that. It’s what he’s always done — and what got him a shot with the Miami Heat as an undrafted rookie. “I can shoot it and that’s what I hung my hat on. I’m a better defender than I get credit for. And overall, I think I’m just a heady player,” Walton said. “I’m this guy that’s always thinking two steps ahead.”
