Sixers exercise options on Moultrie, Wroten

The Philadelphia 76ers announced Friday that they exercised the third-year team options on forward Arnett Moultrie and guard Tony Wroten.

Moultrie shot 58.2 percent in 47 games last season as a rookie. He was a first-round draft pick (No. 27 overall) in 2012 out of Mississippi State by the Miami Heat. Miami then traded his rights to Philadelphia.

Wroten scored more than 10 points per game last season as a rookie for the Memphis Grizzlies and 11 during the preseason. The Sixers acquired him in a trade in August. He was a first-round draft pick last year (No. 25 overall).
