Around the League 2014-2015

That didn't really happen outside of the Heat in game 82. (where he shot 3-10). Check out his game log if you don't believe me. http://espn.go.com/nba/player/gamelog/_ ... r-williams

He shot a higher percentage after the trade deadline. Which includes the month of March.

I know that wasn't really the point of your post, but it generally seems to be a repeated trope that the Sixers moves cause MCW to take a step back and it just isn't particularly true.

Well, if you look at the monthly splits, you can see his percentages declining every month until April. If anything it almost seems like 5 outrageous shooting games in April drove his Post-All Star percentages slightly up. However, if you consider that post all-star are only 28 games vs. pre-all star's 42 games, those games have a much larger effect on the percentages. Take from it what you will. He had one or two months of okay to good shooting but those were short game months (December & April).

I'm personally still bullish on MCW - I'm sure his shoulder issues didn't help his shooting. But neither did limited offensive options on the rest of the team.

So in other words they were declining while Hawes and Turner were still on the team, right?

Well, they were already declining, and continued to get worse until those games in April.

Mamba's still got it. I know a lot of Sixers fans hate the guy, but I hope he is able to stay healthy this season. Just great to watch.

[Chamberlainship]

^he's got it in the same way Jordan had it for the Wizards. He does look a little quicker than Wizards Jordan, but not as strong.

Just saw that Golden State waived James Michael McAdoo. Wow. Wasn't he supposed to be a top 10 pick in the 2013 draft before returning to UNC?

[Foshan]

I thought McAdoo played pretty decent for them? Okay, lets cut Moultrie and JRich and pick up McAdoo and QMiller.

His preseason has been okay, but if you look at his college stats/progression and summer league, you see why this guy went undrafted. Definitely potential, but a terrible shooter considering his limited range and position. A college PF who shoots in the mid-40s when he basically plays 10 ft away from the basket. Terrible FT shooter in the 50-60s. Never really met his potential from when he a top HS player.

Meanwhile Moultrie has basically been the best big man off the bench on the team this preseason, seemingly really turned it around. There's basically no way he's getting waived. JRich, just depends on whether the Sixers think it's worthwhile just to clear a roster spot. I would definitely not bother for someone like McAdoo right now.

Opening night! Who's watching?

Mavericks at Spurs about to wrap up the first half with Dallas leading by 7. Then we have the Rockets taking on the Lakers at the Staples Center at 10:30.

First night of NBA basketball being back is like Christmas morning for me.

AD and Asik combined for 14 blocks lol. Makes me giddy for how Noel and Embiid can dominate the paint next year.

[Embiid P]

Poor Randle fractured his leg in his first game. Looks like we dodged one bullet by not taking him. Gotta feel for the kid though.

[76ers3]

This league with be a KD and AD league in about 3-4 years.

If pelicans make the playoffs ad will be mvp

[Wilfried]

He's incredibly good. Future MVP.

But will he stay with the Pelicans (I don't see them winning much with this limited roster)? And they will not be adding much other talent via draft the next years.

Let's hope we have our AD in Embiid.

[Skates]

Damn shame for Randle, but wow, looking at that roster, even when he was there, they are awful. Kobe will pull a super-Willie Green often enough to get them more wins than the Sixers, but that is a completely pathetic roster with no real prospects to watch while Randle is out. They spent money on crappy FA's, they will still suck, especially in the Western Conference. So much for teams that 'try'. They could end up being this year's Bucks especially if Kobe goes down with an injury and actually give the Sixers a run for the worst record.

[Wilfried]

They hardly have young prospects, except for Randle and he's not more than a decent player imo.

Sixers are in better shape.

But hey, they are the Lakers. They are attractive to FA's. We're not.

Well, it's not like it's something anyone could have seen coming (or might have happened if he was elsewhere) - but I agree.

Seriously - who had money on the possibility that Joel Embiid plays more games this season than Julius Randle?
