Sixers' Louis Williams!

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.
