Dewayne Dedmon came to the Sixers with a short NBA résumé but a definitive reputation.
“I bring energy. I rebound the ball and I block shots. That is what I came here to do,” Dedmon said. “I am pretty satisfied. I feel like I came here and did what I was supposed to do and we have another one on Friday and I am going to try and do it again.”
Dedmon played 14 minutes against Charlotte on Wednesday, his first game action after signing a 10-day contract on Tuesday. He grabbed seven rebounds and blocked two shots in the Sixers’ 95-92 win over the Bobcats.
