Philadelphia 76ers are still a few years away from being contenders, But the team seems to have changed considerably this season. Prince Amour is confident that this year's team will win more games than they did last season and that wins are a number that will continue to grow each season until this team wins championships.
Prince Amour started his adventure by drafting big man Raef Lafrentz from Kansas, here is some footage of the Raef farewell speech:
Lafrentz 6"11 253 was targeted to play the center position for the 76ers this season, but shortly after the unthinkable came, when veteran big man Anthony Mason was trade days after Raef's arrival. 76ers later accounced that Raef would be move to PF position, in a post mason era. In college Raef average 15.7 points, 10.3 rebounds and shot 40% from down town, in 33.6 minutes per play...
Anthony Mason was the star of the frontcourt in the past season, which is why it came as a surprise to everyone that he was traded. Mason was traded for another big man Rik Smits aka the Dunking Dutchman. Here is a video portrait of dutch man amd what to expect:
The Dutchman is just over his prime and has only one season to prove his worth to the organisation. Smits is 7"4 301lbs and average 13.5 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.4 blocks in just 29 minutes per play.
At Small Forward we have the return of Glen Rice:
Rice is expected to be one of the team's go to guys again this year.
Shooting Guard and the now expected team leader is Anthony Peeler:
Peeler worked hard this season on being more athletic, and this be a milestone year for him. He still have to share the load of scoring with Rice, but Rice seems to have lost half of step, so look for Peeler to take on a greater roll.
And finally Bobby Jackson the point:
First guys off the bench would be:
-Dana Barros
-David Benoit
-Adonal Foyle
They also added Askins, JR Reid and Kenny Anderson to go along with Kittles.
1998 Watch out the 76ers...
Over to you, does 76ers look better than they did last season? Do you have Question for GM? Hit us up right now.
