Immmm Backk, Lou Will, Training Camp

After quite a long hiatus the sixers blog is back!!! I felt no need to write about the big NOTHING that happened in the off season with the team after the Spence trade and the so called life changing draft...

Since Training camp is approaching in little under a week I thought I'd write about some things that need to be under the microscope during this camp.

1. Even though every year is a big year as a pro sports athlete i really feel like this is Louis Williams' "Shit or get off the pot" year. He really needs to carve himself a spot in this rotation, as it looks right now he must fight Willie Green for the 1st pg/sg off the bench. He has a rather large contract for someone of such low production, he missed a huge opportunity last year when he was handed the starting point guard role but eventually lost it to the future superstar Jrue Holiday who im not gonna lie i am quite bias for. He just needs to beat an aging Willie Green to see time on the court.

2. Evan Turner must prove what he could not in summer league.... THAT HE CAN ACTUALLY PRODUCE IN THE NBA!!! He confirmed my worst fears during preseason that he was not the NBA ready player that he was promoted to be and that he is more of a project. I am hoping that it was just that he wasnt in good enough shape because he was trying to avoid injury before the draft but i dont think that is the case.

3. Spencer Hawes must show early that he is a starting center, even though this will be a fast paced team we need some sort of tall man on the court that can rebound, spread the court and play some D, i dont think i can handle trying to watch the sixers force Brand into being a center again in a fast lineup *gag*. Brand is a clear powerforward and must outplay Thad YOung to see significant time.

4. And last but not least and the topic I am most certain about... can Douggie Fresh (Coach Collins) be a motivator for the team and have Andre Iguodala blossom into the superstar that he is??? Yes he can


Just wanted to throw this in before i leave... CONGRATS to Dre Iggs for becoming a world champion and helping USA run a train through the Worlds... I believe that experience will help him 10-fold.

Will post alot in the future during training camp and of course the PRESEASON!!!!
