It's always good to catch up with familiar faces.


Free agent centers Kyle O'Quinn and Norvel Pelle are both continuing their respective careers in vastly different ways. Both big men spent time with the Sixers last season providing depth behind Joel Embiid.


O'Quinn will be taking his talents overseas. The 30-year-old has reached a deal with Turkish EuroLeague club Fenerbahce, according to eurohoops.net. Last year, O'Quinn appeared in 29 games for Philadelphia and averaged 3.5 points and 4.0 rebounds in 10.8 minutes. He has appeared in 474 games over an 8-year NBA career after being selected in the second round of the 2012 NBA draft.


As for Pelle, the Sixers might be seeing him up close soon. The 6'10", 231-pounder is reportedly expected to sign with the Brooklyn Nets per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. In 24 games with the Sixers last year, Pelle averaged 2.4 points and 3.0 rebounds in 9.7 minutes. He also blocked an impressive 1.3 blocks in that limited actioned showing off impressive athleticism and energy.
