Sixers are having trouble decided which 2 people to keep and have narrowed it down to 4 and would like some input to help decide. The four guys are: Louis the rat Williams, Andre iggy, Thad young and speights. So who should I keep??
Man, that's a tough choice, because you can make a defensible combo with any of those four.
On a personal level, I like the upside of Young and Speights the best. However, I think the smart money may be on Iggy (who is another player that I like.)
I'd take Iggy and then probably Young. Unless you want to get way under the cap in which case Iggy's big contract should scare you off.
Yeah, I was thinking salary considerations here also but I'd go Young & Speights.
Am I the only one that wouldn't entertain the thought of keeping Young? I'm amazed that he hasn't played his way out of the starting five in Philadelphia, but then Eddie Jordan has been an easy coach to second guess. (The Don Nelson of the Eastern Conference?) Young works hard, is very mobile, has great length and upside. But when his jumpshot isn't falling - and it's not - he doesn't contribute anything on the offensive end. Mediocre rebounder, poor passer, mediocre at getting to the rim, poor free throw shooter when he does draw the call.
I would keep Iguodala (nothing to hate but the contract) and Brand or Williams.
