It really depends on how the offense and defene is structured. Since they plan on trapping and switching on defense, having wing player like Iguodala is great, because with his size, strength, quickness and active hands he can reasonably defend 1,2,3 off of switches.
On offense if you have a dominant big that demands a double, you want wing players who are great spot-up shooters- and then Iguodala won't fit regardless of position. If they run a motion offense that requires good passing, cutting and some shooting skills he will be a reasonable fit. If they continue more with isolation style offense, then he is a great fit at the SG position since he can drive and pass or even take his man in the post.
Does Iggy's play in this series change your thoughts on him?

You've seen Iguodala do this before ? Taking his man in the post ? Hmmm . I wish there were clips of him doing this . I only see him coming off of screens taking jumpers or driving to the hole hoping someone gets open.
Honestly maybe Ben Gordon would be the best bet for us. Iguodala can then do what he really wants and that is play point forward and look for Ben Gordon coming off of screens.

Lebron benefits from the new Nba rules , if he played in the days of the Oakleys and Rodmans, Laimbeers he wouldn't look as good as does today. His lack of a consistent jumpshot is reminiscent of Iguodala but he has much better court vision and aggressiveness going to the rim. I guess now he sees how hard it is to deal with the Jordan Rules. It's not easy to Be Like Mike. I haven't seen anybody else able to do it except Kobe. You can't even double Kobe ; he still destroys them with his incredible handles and can shoot it from anywhere on the court. BUt I digress !

Wow that page 7 is the greatest single page of basketball chat that I have seen on the Sixers forum. Everyone made good basketball points except for when Dedicated_76ers_fan said that Kevin Martin is a SF. But I did like the Jim O'Brien's offense point. But come on, Iverson MADE Iggy look good by setting him up. If Iggy had a jump shot he could have had HUGE scoring games that season just ask Kleiza and JR Smith...
