Villanova product Curtis Sumpter, who attended the 76ers’ training camp opener Saturday, could be joining first-year coach Brett Brown’s staff with the Sixers.

“It’s looking like that,” Brown said.

Brown said the 29-year-old Sumpter, upon being officially hired, would handle player development and video room duties.

“He’s come in to look at a combination development role and video intern role, so it’s a hybrid,” Brown said of Sumpter. “He’ll spend time in the video room, learning the NBA and helping us out on the court guarding people. A little bit of coaching, but a little bit of everything. I feel like I see something special in him, with his eyes and his demeanor. 

“He’s a high-character guy, and I’m happy to groom him, but he’s under review at the moment.”

Sumpter had been working at Villanova since August 2012, as a student-athlete development assistant under coach Jay Wright. The forward played with the Wildcats for four seasons in five years, from 2002-2007, due to injuries. He finished with 1,651 points and 794 rebounds.

His post-college career also included professional stops in Germany and France.
