So whats everyones thoughts on the new look sixers:
PG:Nelson/Boytkins
SG:Smith/Crawford
SF:Delfino/nocioni
PF:Jameson/Humphries
C:Robin Lopez/ Big Z
What are your expectations for the team? How are they going to do?
ECF
I think that's a little optimistic. JR Smith is used to being led, not being a leader. I don't think he has the character to be that guy on your wing. On top of that, I don't know if he can be successful without a vet leader like Chauncey or a bigger than life basketball talent like Carmelo. He's going to try to do too much.
I like that you paired Jamison with an energetic defensive inclined center. I also don't mind big Z behind him, because if you're goin to have a young guy come into his talent, best to learn from one of the best.
I think you've got a lot of talent at the 1/2 spots, but I don't think they're necessarily complementary. Boykins shouldn't play with Crawford..neither one handles the ball well enough. But Boykins can't play with JR Smith for the same reason.
You may want to look at moving one of your scoring guards for a defensive team oriented guy..like Battier.
Nocioni and Humpries I'm okay with. I like Nocioni where he is in your rotation...Humpries I can deal with, but I don't know that I like him as your best option off the bench. He's a hard worker and he's a tough player but it would help to have a guy in your frontcourt that can explode for 7-10 quick points off the bench.
I don't think ECF but I could see playoffs.
