Gonna be Lou Williams. I'd put Willie as a second choice but I think he's going to start.

If I had to choose, I would also take Willie.

It's written who will have the second biggest impact...I don't think Willie has a big impact, I think the biggest impact after Lou will be Speights. He's in line to be the main backup after Brand and possibly Sam unless they get someone else in who can back up Sam. If they don't give Speights any time, then it's Evans.

OMG I would not want Willie Green to start if I was a Philly fan, under no circumstance. He might be a decent bench player, emphasis on "might", but he's a horrible starter.

Evans should be an option. I'd like for Speights to have the 2nd biggest impact, but its tough to say whether or not he's ready to contribute. I also think Rush will play a slightly bigger role than most are anticipating.

i thought it was going to be smith...that injury opens up minutes for spreights..so i hope he is able to earn them. right now young may get more minutes at the 4 so rush may turn out to gain the most from smith's injury.if we sign theo then he gets my vote

It feels good to predict who will be our 2nd best bench player, now that we have a more versatile bench.

I would like for Speights to be that 2nd best player in the rotation, but doubt he'll get the minutes to do so.

My vote goes to Reggie Evans. He's too consistent, for me not to give him the nod.

Speights now has 107.52 votes which is over 3 times more votes than Joker Evans at 31.36 which leaves Evans tied for 4th and 5th place with Willie Green. Kareem Rush is in 3rd place with 42.56 votes. Speights will get the job done.

Joker Evans has his biggest lead over Willie Green at 16% to 13% for the 4th spot off the bench.

We don't know who the starters will be yet. It's not guaranteed that Thad Young will be the starting SF and if Sixers put Williams in the starting line-up and put Iggy at SF or play Green again with Iggy starting at SF, the metric changes. As for Speights, with Samuel Dalembert, Elton Brand, Reggie Evans, and now, Donyell Marshall, ahead of him, it's not likely that he will get enough minutes as a back-up (assuming there are no injuries) to warrant being our second best bench player. I expect that at best, he will get the type of minutes Jason Smith got last seaon - about 12 to 14 a game.
