While the Sixers haven't been great or even good they have been a lot more competitive then the Timberwolves and have better players. It doesn't matter if Igoudala is the second best all that matters is if it is reasonable to say that he is and yes it is to say that. Kevin Martin is a pretty one dimensional player and does not defend like Igoudala. A lot of people tend to over-evalue jump-shooting the one thing that Igoudala doesn't do well. Also, Igoudala's turnover s decreased by a huge amount over the course of last season. He was a turnover machine the first 1/4-1/3 of the season. People also forget just how well Igoudala played the last half of the year and just remember how bad he played against the Pistons in the play-offs. The last 41 games of the year or so a solid argument could be made that he was the third best swing man in the NBA over that period behind Lebron and Kobe. Go check John Hollinger's per stats for the doubters. According to Hollinger a point difference in per between players is worth about an additional win over a season. Looking at the small forwards last season guys like Caron Butler,Paul Pierce, and Carmelo Anthony were only worth from about .5 games to 2 wins more over an 82 game schedule then Iggy and thats with the slow start Igoudala had. Now stats don't always tell the entire story but Hollinger is the best in the business when it comes to stats and the NBA. Igoudala is a guy who imo, starting with this season, will make the All-Star this season. He is at least as good as a guy like Caron Butler going forward at this point imo and he has not reach his full potential.
