Mon Mar 17 2014 | 14:51 | Magic to sign Dewayne Dedmon for season |
The Magic will sign C Dewayne Dedmon for the remainder of the season. |
He's as raw as they come and didn't play organized basketball until his senior year in high school, but Orlando has little to lose by gambling on a young, athletic center. In 18 appearances this season, Dedmon has averaged 2.5 points, 2.9 rebounds and 0.5 blocks in just nine minutes per game. |

Tue Mar 4 2014 | 13:31 | Magic sign Dewayne Dedmon to second 10-day |
The Orlando Magic have signed Dewayne Dedmon to a second 10-day contract. |
Dedmon's first 10-day deal wouldn't have expired until Thursday night, but the Magic wasted no time in re-upping the 7-footer. Dedmon has only played three total minutes with the Magic, however, so his fantasy value is just about rock bottom. |

Orlando Magic sign C Dewayne Dedmon. |
Orlando will be the third NBA city that Dedmon has called home this season and his latest signing will come on yet another 10-day deal. The seven-footer hasn't done much in his stints with Golden State and Philadelphia this year, but he could see enough minutes in Orlando to improve upon his 2013-14 averages of 3.4 points, 4.5 boards, and 0.8 blocks. Owners in standard leagues don't need to run to their waiver wires based on this news, but Dedmon should provide some value in deep leagues. |

Fri Feb 21 2014 | 16:02 | Dewayne Dedmon signs with Magic |
Dewayne Dedmon is expected to sign a 10-day deal with the Magic on Monday. |
The Magic are expected to also bring on Adonis Thomas, but they still have room on their roster to give Dedmon a shot. After putting up eye-popping stats in the D-League, Dedmon didn't do much with averages of 3.4 points, 4.5 boards and 0.8 blocks in 13.6 minutes with the Sixers in 11 games. As far as his fantasy outlook goes, it would have worked much better had he come to a deal with the Sixers. He can be left on the wire in all leagues. |

The 76ers opted not to re-sign big man Dewayne Dedmon, who had been signed for frontcourt help out of the D-League. |
The Sixers would have had to sign him for the rest of the season. It's possible Dedmon will be picked up by another team but he's not a fantasy option with averages of 2.5 points and 3.3 rebounds in 15 appearances this season. |

Thu Jan 23 2014 | 09:40 | Dewayne Dedmon to get 2nd 10-day contract? |
Dewayne Dedmon's 10-day contract expires on Thursday. |
Whie Dedmon's contract may be up, the news of Brandon Davies' injury that will keep him out four-to-six weeks all but assure's Dedmon of another 10-day deal. "I like what we've seen in him," coach Brett Brown said. "There's a size, obviously, but there's an enthusiasm and an energy. We'll make the official decision [today] but I'm thrilled with what he's done so far." Dedmon is averaging 14.8 minutes, 5.8 rebounds, 1.0 blocks, and 3.6 points per game in his five appearances for the Sixers. His fantasy value is obviously a tad limited in standard leagues, but he makes for an interesting play in deeper leagues. |

Dewayne Dedmon is making an impact with the 76ers. |
Dedmon has impressed the Sixers thus far on his current 10-day contract and has been solid in backing up Spencer Hawes. "How can you not be excited about him?" coach Brett Brown said. "He's a 7-footer who gets up and down the floor. He plays with tenacity." Dedmon's averages of 3.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks in four games with the Sixers don't scream value, but he's worth a flier in deeper leagues as long as his contract is picked up. |

Sat Jan 18 2014 | 22:50 | Dedmon goes for eight and seven with a block |
Dewayne Dedmon went for eight and seven with a block in Saturday's game against the Bulls. |
Dedmon logged 17 minutes and he probably needs something to happen to Spencer Hawes in order to truly have value, but he should be on the fantasy radar given the Sixers' jackpot system. In deeper leagues owners can consider a speculative add. |

Dewayne Dedmon was the first big man off the bench on Friday vs. Miami, finishing with seven points, seven boards and one block in 21 minutes. |

Dewayne Dedmon went scoreless in his Sixers debut Wednesday night. |
Dedmon played 14 minutes and was at least able to register seven rebounds. It was interesting to see the newly-signed Dedmon play more minutes than Brandon Davis, so it's very possible he may win the backup job behind Spencer Hawes. Dedmon isn't worth a pickup in standard leagues, but he could be an interesting snag in deeper leagues going forward. |

The Golden State Warriors waived center Dewayne Demon on Thursday. |
This isn't a surprise as Dedmon only played six total minutes in four games with the Warriors after being called up from the Santa Cruz Warriors of the D-League. Dedmon is still only 24 and 7-footers don't grow on trees, so we'll keep an eye out to see if he hooks on with another organization. |

Tue Nov 19 2013 | 11:06 | Dewayne Dedmon signs with the Warriors |
The Warriors have signed Dewayne Dedmon from the D-League Santa Cruz Warriors. |
Dedmon was one of the last cuts out of training camp and will help fill-in for Jermaine O'Neal while he recovers from a bruised knee and groin strain. Dedmon is worth watching just in case he sees big minutes in Golden State's depleted frontcourt, but fantasy owners don't need to concern themselves with remembering how to spell Dewayne just yet. |
