The Philadelphia 76ers waived rookie guard/forward Derrick Byars Monday, team president Billy King announced, reducing their roster to 15 players.
Byars, a 6-foot-7, 220-pound swingman out of Vanderbilt, was drafted with the 42nd overall pick in the June draft by the Portland Trail Blazers and traded to the Sixers for the rights to Petteri Koponen, the 30th overall pick.
In 2006-07, his second season at Vanderbilt following a transfer from Virginia, Byars was named SEC Player of the Year while averaging 17 points and 4.9 rebounds per game. He also led the Commodores to the NCAA tournament's Sweet 16 before losing to Georgetown.

King is such an idiot.
