We're Philly. Gotta Blame Someone.

After 4 years I'm ready to say that Lou Williams will never be even a decent defender.

I'm not ready to say that about Speights yet, but he has to make a huge amount of progress on the defensive end to even approach being average. 

On a scale of 1-10

Offense/Deffense:  Speights 7/2 today.  Potentially 9/5, but more likely 8/3.

I think you over rate Speights current offensive game.  He has not really shown a post-game yet, just nice jump shooting and soem decent finishes, but great hands for sure. I agree with you on his potential though.

He's shown flashes here and there of some post moves, but hasn't consistently used his post game to his advantage, which leads me to believe that it's not polished enough yet.  That being said, he certainly has potential to be a post scorer with his soft touch around the basket and ability to finish with both hands.
