As you can tell by the name I'm a Sixers fan but I was a huge fan of Cousins/Wall combo back at Kentucky and really root for them in the NBA. Unfortunately each has been working with some of the worst front offices in the NBA. Sixers are breaking my heart for obvious reasons. Holiday is too good to keep us out of the top 5 lottery and we will never be more than a 6 seed for the next 10 yrs once again.

You guys have something special going in Washington, with Wall's rapid improvement the sky is the limit.
Since I'm not able to watch alot of games was wondering how his defense was? He has all the tools of a lockdown defender. In today's NBA there are only a handful of PG's who are considered 'good" defenders..Westbrook, Holiday, Rondo, Lowry and maybe Ty Lawson..Rose, Irving routinely give up big nights to nearly every matchup. So a PG who can defend at a high level is extremely valuable in my opinion.
Obviously his jump shot is improving, but how is his ability to change pace and control the game? I remember seeing it was a huge area of criticism from that prick agent who represents everything I hate about the Sixers (Evan Turner)

In the draft I feel you guys should target a big who can run the pick and roll and stretch the floor for Wall. Kyle Lowry's recent comments kind of echo that. Anthony Bennett, Kelly Olynyk would be near perfect fits. Your frontcourt would have incredible depth, one injury really wouldn't miss a beat. Then in FA target a combo guard like Devin Harris or Jarrett Jack. Webster/Ariza looks like a serviceable offense/defense combo at the 3, and obviously your starting backcourt is set.

F. Bennett/Seraphin/Booker
F. Webster/Ariza/Singleton/Vesely
G. Beal/Harris/Temple/Martin
