Long signed a two-year, partially guaranteed contract with the Sixers on Friday, Shams Charania of Yahoo! Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

While the contract means Long will likely play with the Sixers' summer league team, it still doesn't guarantee him a roster spot or an invite to training camp. Long averaged 18.9 points and 12.1 rebounds in his final season at Louisiana-Lafeyette, but with a significant upgrade in talent by moving to the NBA, Long could see a difficult transition. One of the older prospects in the draft at 23 years old, Long will have to prove that he's still got the potential to develop a more well-rounded game.
