I’ve done some research and have found players who played for both the 76ers and the Knicks.
Nerlens Noel
Nerlens Noel was selected as the 6th overall pick by the New Orleans Pelicans in the 2013 NBA Draft and was later traded to the Philadelphia 76ers on draft night.
Noel has been primarily known for his defensive abilities, particularly as a shot-blocker.
He led the NBA in block percentage during his rookie season and has consistently ranked among the league leaders in blocks. He has also been an effective rebounder and has contributed on the offensive end as well, but it’s his defensive presence that has been his calling card in the NBA.

DeAndre Jordan
DeAndre Jordan, an NBA center, is best known for his incredible defensive presence and elite rebounding skills. After playing one season at Texas A&M, he was selected in the second round of the 2008 NBA Draft by the Los Angeles Clippers.
During his tenure with the Clippers, Jordan, alongside Chris Paul and Blake Griffin, formed a core trio famously known as “Lob City,” renowned for their high-flying alley-oops and fast-paced gameplay. Over the years, Jordan has led the league in rebounding multiple times and earned NBA All-Defensive Team honors.
In addition to the Clippers, he has played for the Mavericks, Nets, Lakers, 76ers and Nuggets. His career has been marked by consistent rim protection, rebounding prowess, and high field goal percentage, mainly from his dunks and close-range shots.
