The 27-year-old was released by the Jazz a few days ago in order to make room for Mike Conley.

Neto is coming off of a campaign where he averaged 5.3 points per game, shooting 46% from the floor…although he did fight a flurry of injuries He spent four seasons in Utah and was drafted back in 2013.

Considering the Sixers lost out on T.J McConnell earlier today, replacing the fan-favorite guard with a relatively young replacement who can pick up where he left off, is favorable.
