this draft has decent depth. alot of potentially good guards. notice how i say potential people. a very small percent of lottery pick actually do good so dont think a trade will be great. the sixers will get a good ball player at 17. the teams that do those trades stay lousy for a reason.
I think the Sixers should consider moving Lou Williams if they think they can get a true point guard or shooting guard in return. Lou will never be either of those. He has reached his max and I think he hurts the team when he is in there running the show. He doesn't play defense and he tries to be to much like A.I without the heart of A.I.
I don't understand why people think Iggy can't play the two. Defensively, he matches up. He gets enough assists to be a two. And he'll score more easily being guarded by a two than a three. Iggy, Thad, Brand is a very nice 2, 3, 4 combo. Hopefully Miller will come back and make it a very solid 1, 2, 3, 4 worthy of competing for a top spot in the East. If that's the case, it doesn't matter much who they draft, 'cause he's not gonna play much for a couple of years. Between Lawson and Maynor, I'll take... Teague, since he is the better athlete and shooter. If Jennings is somehow available, he's a no brainer.
Philly could have offered a package to Washington for the #5 pick. Management has to START being imaginative! I would love to see Thabett donning our (new/old) jersey. I would like to see us acquire a second round pick so we can draft AJ Price.
Kate Fagan for GM. Stefansky already ruined this teams chances for the next 5 years. Since there is no more money to spin she couldn't be any worse than Stefansky or King.
Interesting chat. I don't buy the injury prone thing re: lawson. If anything, he proved that he can play through some bumps and bruises. Plus, i'm not sure i agree that maynor is a better half court pg. Lawson's assist/TO ratio is much better. Having said that, you can talk to me about his height...that could be a concern, but all things considered Lawson can take care of the ball, defend, and shoot 3. This would allow igoudala to play more SG (if thad/kapono are SF and the PG shoots 3, its ok if igoudala aint lights out from beyond, plus he could make up a little for lawson's lack of hieght) I'll take maynor if that's whats available, he's definitely a nice player, but i'm just saying...
i love wayne ellingtons game.....and of all the players that will be available at number 17 i think he would be the best pro. Would the sixers consider drafting him?

About Deep Sixer Blog
Kate Fagan was, until recently, the all-time leading three-pointer shooter in the University of Colorado women’s basketball program. Her former teammates say that’s because she was also the all-time leading three-point taker in program history. Somewhere along the way, journalism became her passion, and there are those who say that she still likes taking her shots. This is her second season as the 76ers beat writer for The Inquirer. She brings a rare combination of first-hand basketball insight, writing ability and an attitude that fits perfectly in her new hometown.
