I’ve now looked at every single player in the league and analyzed whether or not they’re worth keeping around. After I have made these decisions, it obviously leaves them with less than a full roster, but I’ll give an overview of who they have and who they’d need to draft or pick up in free agency. They would only have 8 players on their roster right now, so things will change. Here’s where they’d be … Continue reading
I have finally gone through the full roster except for one player: C Nerlens Noel. Noel is the second of the players that are on the roster that didn’t play last year, both of whom were out because of knee injuries. Noel is fully healed though and will be ready to go during Summer League, which will be his first games in a Sixers uniform. I’m very excited to see what the near 7-footer can … Continue reading
I have now gone through all the members of the Sixers roster that played last year, so now I’m left with the guys who never played in a game last year. The first of these is SG Jason Richardson, the oldest player on the roster and the only guy that’s over 30 years old. At 33 years old, he’s been in the league for 12 years and is clearly on the decline in his career. … Continue reading
SG Adonis Thomas did not play much for the Sixers, but I’m going to talk about him anyway due to the fact that he was on the roster at the end of the season. In his rookie year last year, he was briefly on the roster of four different teams in the league (including the Sixers). He even got two 10-day contracts with the Magic towards the end of the season, and was coincidentally on the … Continue reading
As of now, I’ve given roster spots to just 6 players, and with a maximum of 15, there still leaves a lot to be filled. The next player I’m looking at is PG Casper Ware. Ware was in his first season in the NBA last year after spending the beginning of his career in Italy. But he didn’t just “spend time” there, he actually won the MVP of his league, averaging over 20 PPG. After … Continue reading
Believe it or not, but PF Jarvis Varnado is the second oldest player on the team at 26 years old. But while he may be the second oldest, he is certainly not the second most experienced. After being drafted in the second round of the 2010 NBA Draft by the Heat, which coincidentally was the same draft that James Anderson and Elliot Williams were drafted, he immediately went to play in Italy while the Heat … Continue reading
After Summer League last year, I was optimistic about how PF Arnett Moultrie would contribute for the team. I thought that he could definitely be a regular contributor off the bench. He didn’t look too bad in his rookie season two years ago, getting to play in 47 games. But this year he spent most of the season in the D-League after struggling to even make the awful Sixers roster. Then he got suspended for … Continue reading
I am now in the back half of the roster as I analyze the players that clearly did not play as much this past season. While that doesn’t mean I’m guaranteed to say to get rid of them, their worth to the team is clearly lesser. A player must really deserve not to play if he’s getting severely limited minutes on a team as bad as the Sixers. Either that, or the player is just very … Continue reading
I’m going to go on record and say that I really liked Byron Mullens as a player two years ago when he was with Charlotte. I even had him on my fantasy team because he brought in the rare combination of 3-pointers and rebounds. But then he ended up in Los Angeles to play for the Clippers and dropped off a cliff, showing that maybe he only played so well because the Bobcats had no one else … Continue reading
According to my armchair GM decisions, the Sixers currently still have 2 starters (PG Michael Carter-Williams and PF Thad Young) and 3 backups (SG James Anderson, C Henry Sims, and SG James Anderson). I let Hollis Thompson go, and so far he’s been the only player that I’ve done that to. Now I will look at SG Elliot Williams, who played his first season with the Sixers last year and his second in the league. Williams … Continue reading
