Khalif Wyatt

Wyatt signed a one-year deal with the Guangdong Southern Tigers of the CBA on Monday, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

The Sixers have waived Wyatt, the Delaware County Daily Times reports.

Wyatt has lost almost 20 pounds since he first started training for the NBA Draft, and has almost reached his goal of getting down to 205 pounds, the Bucks' County Courier-Times reports.

Wyatt drew impressive Gary Neal comparisons from coach Brett Brown, the Sixers' official site reports. Brown said that he is a good passer and has a knack for scoring, but added that he needs to get into shape. "For him to be as good as he can be, he needs to [be] thin, and [have] low skin folds, and [extract] as much quickness as he can," Brown said. "There's a tantalizing part of him, you know, is he Gary Neal?"

Wyatt will sign a partially guaranteed, multi-year deal with the Sixers on Friday, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
