Short answer on your question regarding Jrue – Eddie Jordan is a moron.

A bit more detail…

Jrue is a rookie and Eddie Jordan doesn’t quite trust him yet and when he does put him in he has a quick hook when he makes a mistake.

Jrue’s biggest asset right now is defense, something Eddie Jordan clearly values much less than offensive output.

Ed Stefanski hasn’t quite gotten to the point where he outright tells Jordan to play the rookie like he did with Cheeks and Thad.  If we continue to suck I can see that coming so Stefanski can evaluate his draft choice.

Did I mention Eddie Jordan is clueless?

A.McKie, I am seeing a little improvement in Elton lately and hope he can get back to last years level at least, his smarts and effort are there and although he will never give us his Philly max, hopefully he can contribute, similar to how B.Wallace is helping the Pistons now. As far as Holliday, I think he gives this team 2 things it needs, defense and ,possibly, 3 pt. shooting and worst case he is at Royal!s level already. But the Sixers, before Jordan, have played their rooks, usually out of necessity. Jumpin, Jordan has been more of a disappointment to me than Elton.

And you know what they have to try otherwise if they tanked it with this roster it would be admitting that all this money they invested in the team was for shit. I hate tanking and i think it's wrong but in this instance what do you do? i know this team is going to suck for the next 4 years minimum and as a fan mediocrity can be disenchanting, atleast if we got a high draft pick and a great player it would give hope. we really should have drafted ty lawson we need a point gaurd now lou williams is a disaster. arghh lol frustration hahahahahahaha i wish we had the number 7 pick :( we always get the number 14,15,16 coz everyone on the team is so dumb that they try their best at the end of the season when everyone is tanking in the hope of getting a number 8 or 7 seed.

Andrew Lang – C
Tim Perry – SF
Clarence weatherspoon – PF
Jeff Hornacek - SG
Dana Barros – PG

But i am returning in hopes of having a question answered that burns within me.   This is the best place to get answers on the Sixers.... here it goes....  can someone tell me why Holliday gets no burn ?   why do the Sixers refuse to play young players ?   does management think it makes them hungry to ride the bench ?  does it build character?    or do they believe that young guys need to pay their dues ?   Ty Lawson has already made an impact on Denver, a top 5 team .    yet Holliday can't even get on the court for the sixers, a bottom 5 team.      just let the guy play.  geez.  this team sucks.   one other point.   this team is officially in a quagmire of stinkiness for the next 5 years.   brands contract has saddled us in mediocrity.    we live in an endless cycle of the #7 pick I used to be a regular on this site.  Although I still read the articles and comments regularly,  its been about a year since I last posted.   I stopped posting when Brand officially became a bust for us.   I was the biggest supporter of signing that guy and I am truly disappointed with myself for making such a terrible call.  There were many other members that were not sure about Brand at the time.   I focused so much energy arguing with them and talking up Brand (when i wasn’t bashing Iguodala) that I was really embarrassed to show my face.
