The Philadelphia 76ers signed guard Scottie Wilbekin to a contract Friday.
Wilbekin competed for the Sixers in the 2014 Orlando Pro Summer League and the 2015 NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, where he finished second on the team in scoring with 14 points per game and averaged three 3-pointers made per game.
Wilbekin went undrafted in 2014 following a standout career at Florida. As a senior, he was named SEC Player of the Year and earned third team All-America by the Associated Press. Wilbekin was a two-time SEC all-defensive selection and finished his career with 167 steals.
Last season, Wilbekin played 32 games for Cairns Taipans of the Australian National Basketball League and was named the club’s MVP and defensive player of the year. He was also named first team All-NBL after averaging 15 points, four assists, four rebounds and one steal per game with the Taipans. He later joined AEK Athens of the Greek Basket League, averaging eight points and four assists in nine games.
