This will be an interesting game.

Hopefully we don't do a Detroit.

I'm ready to find out new players' names. This is like a D-League showcase team full of names nobody ever hears about.

I'm going to bold all the names that I know next to nothing about and underline the players I expect to even be in the league in two years.

76ers Roster
2013-14 RosterNum Player Pos Ht Wt DOB Prior to NBA/Country Yrs
9 James Anderson G-F 6-6 210 03/25/1989 Oklahoma State/USA 3
1 Michael Carter-Williams G 6-6 185 10/10/1991 Syracuse/USA R
20 Brandon Davies F 6-10 240 07/25/1991 Brigham Young/USA R
5 Arnett Moultrie F 6-10 240 11/18/1990 Mississippi State/USA 1
30 Byron Mullens C 7-0 275 02/14/1989 Ohio State/USA 4
4 Nerlens Noel C 6-11 228 04/10/1994 Kentucky/USA R (INJURED)
12 James Nunnally F 6-7 205 07/14/1990 California-Santa Barbara/USA R
23 Jason Richardson G 6-6 225 01/20/1981 Michigan State/USA 12 (BEEN INJURED FOR >1 YEAR)
35 Henry Sims C 6-10 248 03/27/1990 Georgetown/USA 1 (maybe)
31 Hollis Thompson G-F 6-8 206 04/03/1991 Georgetown/USA R
40 Jarvis Varnado F-C 6-9 230 03/01/1988 Mississippi State/USA 1
17 Casper Ware G 5-10 175 01/17/1990 Long Beach State/USA R

25 Elliot Williams G 6-5 180 06/20/1989 Memphis/USA 3
8 Tony Wroten G 6-6 205 04/13/1993 Washington/USA 1
21 Thaddeus Young F 6-8 230 06/21/1988 Georgia Tech/USA 6


Yikes. That roster really is worse than our 2011 team.

I remember Davies was the "other" guy from the Jimmer-led BYU team from a few years back. He got suspended right before the tournament, was a pretty big news item at the time and considered a big reason for their exit.

If we lose tonight there will be the most epic meltdown of all-time on this board. So I hope we don't lose. Lol

I don't expect it to be close, they can't handle Jefferson or even Zeller for that matter

he got suspended for having sex with his white girlfriend...i feel like it was a racial undertone to it but Davies didnt give a damn so why should I?

Its against school policy at BYU to have sex isn't it? One of those Mormon rules or something?

yea when you go to BYU you sign a honor code that you will not do certain things. premarital sex is one of them but seems pretty unenforceable to me

I don't really see the use in going to college if you aren't going to have sex.
