    Turner is playing better than Jodie Meeks who starts. Turner needs to get out of Philly.

    Harrellson looked pretty good last night for NYK
  • Azubuike24
    Harrellson 14 pts and 12 rebs. Calipari can't develop talent!

    This guy was close to being off the roster. He was a JUCO who hardly anyone else wanted. Under Gillispie he really shouldn't have been on the team...amazing.

    Yeah, Meeks is playing horrible this season.

    Turner should be starting and getting way more minutes, he could average 15-17 a night with 6 boards and 5 assists. Problem is he is playing with a black hole on the second unit in Lou Williams. Philly is also very balanced, they have quite a few guys averaging in double figures.

    Coach said he worked harder than anyone on the team this off season.

    Hes playin like 28 29 minutes a game, he just is shooting horribly. And he cant get to the rim at will like he could in college so hes struggling.

    And Williams is only puttin up 13 shots a game, not like hes in the 20 range, and hes hittin at damn near 50% from the field, So idk why hed defer to a worse offensive player (turner)

They are not a championship contender, but are not bad enough to improve through the draft...while they are aging as well. But with the way the NBA is setting up...being located in LA, they should be able to just import in an all star team.
    Stern won't allow it.

    13 shots off the bench is a ton, especially for a pg. I've watched them play a few times and Lou doesn't even look to pass the ball, he is a black hole. Evan should be starting and that would help him get into more of a rhythm. He is a far better player than Jodie Meeks but I think Coach Collins wants more of a shooter to spread the floor with the starters.

    Turners at what 9 though? So its not like hes that far behind him lol. He just happens to do less with those shots. Yeah the Sixers have no real 2 guard on the team, Williams is probably a better 2 guard than a Pg but hes too short to start at the 2 lol.

    Williams is definitely a 2 guard playing the 1, but it's not just how many shots he takes, it's the type of shots he takes. The balance on the team is really hurting ET's development, he was ballin in preseason and at the end of last year. Seems like he is struggling the find his niche with the team so far. He also changed his shot in the offseason which may have something to do with his lower FG% so far. Still early in the season so it's hard to make judgements.

    Williams is playing very well in his role of coming off the bench and providing a spark he also gets to the line a lot for a non starter. I have no problem with him whatsoever. Turner should be starting over Meeks. Put Meeks with Williams in the 2nd unit.

    True. Although, I still think that was a bad deal for LA if it had went through. Of course, then they went ahead and unloaded Lamar anyhow..smh

    Actually it is turning out to be a good move. Odom is 4-30 for 13% and is avg 4 ppg and 4 rpg. He hardly sees the floor now with the Mavs.
    I guess without Kobe he isn't that good.;)

    To be fair, I don't think Lamar Odom wants to play for Dallas, or anybody else aside from the Lakers...

    He just hasn't seemed "interested" while on the floor with the Mavs. I have a feeling if the move was never made, LO would be doing well with the Lakers.

    ^ Didn't he ask for a trade from the Lakers?

    He could retire today and it would be a success. Like I said, people tout Cal for his NBA players, but Harrellson is his best one yet.
