The 76ers have signed free agent C Daniel Orton, who was waived by the Thunder last week. Orton spent the bulk of the 2012-13 season playing in the D-League, where he averaged 12.5 points, 7.8 rebounds and 2.2 blocks in 28 minutes per game. With Nerlens Noel (knee) out indefinitely, the Sixers are thin enough in the middle that Orton has a realistic chance to make the roster. He's worth watching in fantasy leagues in case he emerges as a reliable bench player in Philly.
