Sixers' Louis Williams!

[HarthorneWingo]

I don't know if any of you guys have noticed Williams this year, but he could be a Sixth Man of the Year candidate. He's 5th in the NBA in points off the bench; and 3rd in the league in assists off the bench.

He averages 10.7 pts/game and is shooting 40.3% from 3-point land. Plus, he's matured and can lead the team as their point guard when Andre Miller is on the bench. Williams credits Miller for showing him how to conduct himself both on and off the court.

Which brings me to our sorry franchise. We don't hear Nate Robinson saying those types of things about Stephon Marbury, do we? (Actually, I did hear something about Nate praising Marbury for showing him how to pick up college interns at the Garden. But I digress.) Unlike the Knicks, the Sixers have two players at the point guard position that can run the show, bring energy to the court and play with heart.

In light of how well the Sixers are progressing as a team, it's hard for me to understand why they fired Billy King as their GM.

The Sixers are hardly on the cusp of anything and has been puttering between mediocrity and putridity just like the Knicks. Much the same way Isiah Thomas should be fired, Billy King should have (and did).

Louis Williams is extremely talented (I had him on my Knicks Board Fantasy Draft team) and it was really just a matter of time (he's been in the league for 3 years).

[Deeeez Knicks]

He's a good player, but Billy King accumulated waaay too many bad contracts. That was kinda his thing so he deserved to be fired.

And i think Ginobolli has has the 6th man award pretty much locked up. 19+ pts, 4+ boards, 4+ asissts in less then 30 min

Look for anyone/anything doing well -- Find a way to compare them to the Knicks


did you just suggest Nate doesn't bring energy & heart to the court?

[KnicksScholar24]

If the OP doesn't think Nate Robinson can "bring energy to the court and play with heart," he needs to stop posting. Wasn't this the same guy that was gushing about Andrew Bynum a day or two ago?

OK, some other teams may have young players that could potentially be better than NY's young players. It happens. Stop making thread after thread about it.

We don't hear Nate Robinson saying those types of things about Stephon Marbury, do we?

So now we want Nate to be like Marbury?

Gotta love this board.

edit: you know what, Louis Williams/Andre Miller > New York Knicks. the previous post actually responded to your comments, but I'm not gonna waste the energy on a back n forth discussion with you on this.

[J0rdan4life42o]

Should we expect threads regarding Trevor Ariza, Jason Smith, Reggie Evans and Jordan Farmer from you tonight. Get a life...

[Wrighteous]

I have him on my fantasy roster -- he's been great this year. The Sixers should try to deal Miller for draft picks and give Williams the starting job.
