Sixers @ Bulls - Dec 2 2008

[jemagee]

I'd target mo, miller, lou, ed, dalembert and even possibly brand (shooting a career low FG% almost) before Iguodala...

[darius08]

You know who is shooting a career low fg%? Without an almost attached?

[Derek Bodner]

Oh XD.  That's awesome.  Can we officially murder Reggie Evans now for taking away minutes from such a stud?  For those wondering, it's:

Marshall (but doesn't qualify due to lack of minutes)
Speights
Miller
Brand

Doesn't Young have a PER of 15.5?

Isn't that above 15?

Are are you talking >= 16.0 ?

[jemagee]

ESPN/Hollinger page has him under 15

http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/players/hollinger?playerId=3244

(if you can see that), 14.29

[Derek Bodner]

guess 82games must be slightly off.  bb4 has the same 14.2 PER.

Maybe they don't update it as frequently or maybe their formula is off?

[Derek Bodner]

Updated 12/01, which was after our last game.

[jemagee]

interesting - maybe it's their formula - anyone else wrong?

What site is bb4 short for?

[Derek Bodner]

meant bbr (basketball-reference.com)

[jemagee]

Yahoo lists no change in the starting line up

If speights was a starter (say he gets 30 mpg) what kind of numbers do you see him putting up?  His per minute production has been great (as it was both years in college.)  Does he get 14/8/1.5?

[jemagee]

That all depends on plays and mo

[tk76-]

Based on the available loks Sam gets, I would think Speights could get open jumpers all day.  Whether or not he gets the green light or hits them as consistently as he could is another question.

Speights, like Thad, is naturally gifted on offense.  Loke Thad, I would think he could score a bunch even without "plays drawn up for him."

Who is this team playing the Bulls tonight?
