Onto SIXER Basketball!
What did we learn this week?
1. While there is no reason to worry about Iguodala's contract, I'd like it to get done. Ladies and Gentlemen...he's the face of the Sixers for the next 10 years. I'd like it to be a happy place for him to be. I'd like to see him get paid too.
I like what the guy brings in terms of tempo and temperament. He plays hard. He's known for his defense. His teammates like him. Oh, and he's a pretty damn good ballplayer. Even if they bring in a better player in terms of talent (and they may have in Thad Young), AI sets the tempo.
2. Andre Miller will not be a PG on a team that loses 60 games.
Phil Jasner's famed "Number" is 30 - that's 30-52. I don't discount that number, but I can't see it being a lot worse if Miller plays all year. Teams that are solid inside will have an advantage on us every night BUT...Miller is the equalizer against marginal teams
3. Let's not get too excited about Reggie Evans yet. If he was THAT good Denver would figure out a way to keep him (would you trust Kenyon Martin if you were a 60 win team? Me neither).
4. I'm very worried about Dalembert. Very.
5. I'm real pumped to watch the kids come along. I'm excited to see how they're playing in February - that's when we'll know what we got. I just want to see them get better.
6. I think the biggest thing that's come out of camp is the Willie Green is back to the level he was at before his injury according to Coach Cheeks - that's REAL good news. He was tough.
