In Insider, Chad Ford says to expect the Sixers to persue Andres Nocioni a 6-6 swingman from Argentina. He goes on talking about how he's strong, athletic and aggressive, has solid three point range on his jumper, but he thrives at posting players up.
Doesn't make much sense since we have a boat load of players 6-7 and under, but if he's as talented as I read, I don't see why they shouldn't go after him.
Here's a little write-up I found on the Eurobasket.com site

Nocioni, Andrés; Argentina, Forward - People who saw Nocioni throw down his monster dunks in the faces of Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett during the 1999 World Basketball Championship qualifying tournament will never forget what they saw. Standing only 6'7", Nocioni plays taller than most players. He thrives in physical games, taking charges and bullying his way to the basket. But he is more than muscle and long hair. He has a great shooting touch. Expect him to make a huge impact in Athens. He plays in Spain now, but NBA scouts have been watching the status of his contracts for a long time now.
