Brightest aspect of the Sixer's season has been Andre improving and becoming a better player. Iverson's being there retarded his development, IMO. He didn't get the ball enough to develop his abilities to drive to the basket. With AI there, why would anyone want Iggy to drive? There was no doubt that AI could score or get to the line.
He's not a Dwayne Wade or Kobe Bryant or Gilbert Arenas yet, but he seems to have the potential and he clearly has the work ethic. You can see the difference from year to year in the size and strength of his arms, his ability to see the floor and thread his way to the hoop. His passing is excellent, and he has been a very effective defender since his first year in the league.
He's always been a great leaper, but now he's developing into a primary scorer. He could use a little more help on the floor, and with last night's loss it is virtually impossible for them to make the playoffs, which means a lottery pick.
The Sixers could use a break here, if they could add one quality draft pick and continue to develop their young players they could become worth watching and have a legitimate chance to win on any given night.
It's clear they're not a playoff team yet- even with the improvement since AI and Webber left. They do appear to be making some progress for a change, but they still have a long way to go.
