The Philadelphia 76ers have one of the youngest and possibly most talented teams in the NBA but not everyone is going to be sticking around forever.

Even players who are rookies on the 76ers roster aren’t safe from being jettisoned in the offseason, as that’s the situation K.J. McDaniels is in this year.

According to Adrian Wojnarowski from Yahoo! Sports, the 76es have signed K.J. McDaniels to a tender that will make him a restricted free agent next summer.

"Philadelphia’s K.J. McDaniels, the 32nd overall pick in the 2014 NBA draft, made a bold decision on his rookie contract, agreeing to a one-year, non-guaranteed tender that could make him a restricted free agent next July."

This is huge in that the 76ers may not be able to retain McDaniels if he has a great year — or even at all. He’s a sleeper in this incoming draft class to the NBA and is a player more than a few teams may want to throw some money at to see if his potential pays off in the future.
