I don't think there is anything to worry about. Plus when Lou is in at point its seems obvious that he is really trying to be a true pg and only really looks for his offense when they need it.

Rep Power: 29 | | Well, we have some building blocks. Lou Williams looks a lot like Jason Terry to me. He's never going to be an Andre Miller floor general, but he can definitely light it up. Jason Smith looks like Brad Miller with the way he plays--the young Brad Miller. He hustles, rebounds, and has nice touch from 15 feet. I didn't like the pick, but he definitely could be a nice option at power forward. As for Thad Young, it's nice to see that Mo is finally letting him play. I saw good things in the Portland game and in garbage time tonight. He still needs to improve his ball-handling, but he has the athleticism and mentality to be a big time player. I know guys wanted Al Thornton, but I still think BK made the right decision here.
Say we finish with the #1 pick, who do you guys want? Right now I go:
1. Beasley
2. Rose
3. Mayo
Beasley looks to have the rebounding skills to be a PF. I know there is some question of whether he can play the 4 in the pros, but I think he can.
Rose would allow us to move LouWill to shooting guard and Andre Iguodala to small forward. Though it would leave Thad on the outside looking in...
I hate Mayo, but I recognize his talent.

Rep Power: 29 | | I've been anti-Sam Dalembert for a long time, but he has played really well this year (and even down the stretch last season). I wanted to trade him for an expiring to get rid of his contract, but now I think he is finally playing up to expectations. Put him next to an offensive power forward and not a one-dimensional rebounder in Evans, and there's no doubt in mind he would have 12 or 13 rebounds per game.
11ppg/9.5rpg/2.7bpg is pretty impressive.

Rep Power: 25 | | Anyone ever notice how opposing teams announcers always say the same exact things about Dalembert?
Every single game I watch where the opposing teams announcers are doing the game Dalembert always hits a mid range jumper early and the announcers always respond the same way..."WOW! We'll give him that allll night." or something along those lines. It never fails. Not a single announcer realizes that Dalembert is a double figure scorer, who outside of dunks, gets all his points on mid range jumpers. I understand Dalembert doesn't exactly look like much of a shooter, but do your homework! That is his game. He is a pretty solid mid range shooter and pretty much lacks any back to the basket moves.
I just had to rant because it never fails and it really bothers me.

Rep Power: 25 | | Anyone else get the feeling that Andre Miller won't be dealt, thus the Sixers end up missing out on all the top prospects and won't have the cap space to go after a top free agent. PLUS we'll probably lose Igoudala. At least we'll still have Willie Green :roll:

It's been the same story for a couple of years now. This team is consistently too bad to make the playoffs, but too good to earn a real high pick in the draft. Did you find this post awesome? Yes |

That would help us get another good prospect in this years deep draft class or help us to move up (should we not get a good pick).
We NEED to trade Andre Miller for something before he just leaves and we get nothing in return. We traded Korver for a 1st and Giricek, make that move look even smarter by dealing Miller for another pick.

I still like Iguodala as a 2nd or 3rd option. If Arenas comes here (he said he's opting out yesterday), then I would keep Iguodala.
