No way can you start Kapono over Thad unless Lou is starting. If Sweet Lou starts then we need a scorer off the bench and that would be Thaddeus Young. He would still play 30 min a game or so.
But if Miller is here, I think you leave Thad in the lineup and let Williams be the punch off the bench

Kapono is a good start to the offseason. We’ll see how it goes from here. I respect Reggie Evans and I know I speak for all Sixers fans when I say this.

Dannie I am with you on Lawson, being that they were on tv all the time I got to see him play a lot. Definitely not as much as you for sure, I am all for him running guns with Thad and Iggy.
As far as Maynor, I too watched that UCLA game and came away thinking that he was a superior prospect to Collison. But that’s the only game that I saw him play.

Greek – I personally watched every televised UNC game myself. And I got to see Maynor play live at the NCAA tournament in Philly against UCLA and watched Maynor eat up Duke two years ago in the tournament.

I like both players I would be happy with either. I am biased towards Lawson because I’ve seen him a lot more.

Just kidding Ed, I would just end my 30 year allegiance to the Sixers.

Hey, can we get a word from someone who covered Maynor and Lawson? Dannie, Tom do dudes have any connections on that matter? I would love to hear what someone who has seen these guys play 20 to 30 times a season has to say.

Young, a “jumbo” player on NBA map in a few years? Not so fast! The lad’s still got plenty of unexplored skill regions to mine. And he & Iggy for 40 min on same floor is an unresolved problem. Trade of one or the other for need (or plentiful reinforcement), best route imo.

That’s it, Greek. USA Basketball tries to project 1-3 years down the road and thinks Young worth watching. It should also be good for his confidence.

Dannie I actually agree with you on Thad being undeserving for now. But in 2 years, he will be more then deserving. The olympics arent until 2012, and by that point he will be a beast.
