I love him
I often hear people comparing himt o Pippen, I never know why
Iggy is a much better athlete
Pippen was a much better basketball player.
Iggy is one of those players that will always frustate, he has all the tools but can not seem to put it all together.
he will play 8-12 seasons and be a major contirbutor for most of them. I agree that he is not a number 1 option, but he is a good number 2 or 3 on a contedning team in my opinion

"That's why the last two years weren't guaranteed," Walsh said. "Either way, he knew it could have happened either way."

overall great player
hes better fit as a 2nd option because hes not a dominant scorer yet even though he has the skill set to be.

I don't see how on Earth he's a role player...
I see Iggy as a guy, as mentioned, who's a third option on a good team in terms of scoring but probably second on the team in assists. His all-around game makes him able to complement pretty much any other kind of player. This is especially important because if he's, let's say, the third-best player on a team, it really doesn't matter which two positions the better guys play. He doesn't need a PG to set him up because he can initiate some offence and he doesn't need a centre to cover for him because his man-on defence is good. I wouldn't give him the max but I'd have no problem giving him $60M/6yrs.
I'm not sure what the Sixers should do about him. They should've moved Miller a long time ago though because I like the idea of Iggy/Sammy on a team with Michael Beasley and there's no way that team's getting him now.

Well, Pippen was a good scorer, great passer, great rebounder, and amazing defender.
Iggy is a level or two below him in every regard but has a similar mix of skills.
As far as athleticism, I think you are severely underating Pippen there. He was one of the quickest, smoothest athletes I've ever seen. He could stay in front of point guards, get the steal, sprint down court with the ball and cram it from a couple of feet inside the ft line.
I like Iggy, he could work on a few things but he seems to be a well-rounded competitor. I wouldn't max him unless I knew I had a better scorer that I could lock up.

Well I don't think you build around him, but PHIL should try to keep him and under 15 mil a year if they can.
He's a driver a playmaker that can defend the opposing team's best player. He has a decent mid range shot and a respectable 3. But he's also built to last. I've never seen him take a hit and look like it bothered him to much and that's a plus because that means he'll probuly be able to survie as a driver for the next 6 years without injury promblems.
He can really match with a perimeter oriented offensive star. Someone like Nowitzki or the multiple SF/SGs that do that sort of thing.
I don't know what they're going to do though in the draft or in free agency to get a player that would help AI2 the most. They'd probuly benefit from Chase Budinger droping or something. Honestly they should be tanking or re-sign Andre Miller in the off season.

He plays a Pippen role now.
Obviously isnt close to the polishness of Pippen's basketball game nor know-how. But he plays "similarly".
More athletic than Pippen obvious reasons.
He is one of my faves too.
He needs to find his "batman" as someone pointed out. I envision him a lot with a player like Brand Roy and them two would be a good example of 2x Robin = 1.5x Batman, its a rare result or potential result.
Roy has a very polished game, relies more on basketball know how and skills than athletic ability. Good all rounder. Brilliant leader (already). Then you have Iguadala who contributes all around too, but relies more on athletic ability, can change his game to all out defense in a game and make an impact etc.
I really like them to somehow cross path as team mates one day, then you throw in the perfect 3rd super complimentary player, maybe a Marion type.
A perfect example of a team without a superstar 1st option but will form a potential elite team.

SG: Iguadala
SF: Marion

Funny thats my 2K8 team
