After the trade of Allen Iverson to the Denver Nuggets the Sixers wanted to see what they had in Willie Green. If he doesn’t start to play better the Sixers will have to look to free agency or the draft to replace Green and sit him back on the bench. In 5 games in April he has averaged 30.2 minutes, 11.8 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game. His shooting also has been off as he’s only hit 39.7% of his shots from the floor and he’s only hit 4 of 15 (26.7%) from three-point range.

The 76ers have been giving Willie Green more playing time after they traded Allen Iverson and he’s not doing much with it. Green has played in 46 games this season and he’s averaging 23.9 minutes, 10.5 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game. Green has been a poor shooter and that’s not good if you play shooting guard, which Green does. He’s only hit 39.5% from the floor and 65.7 from the free throw line and if that doesn’t improve Green will go back to the bench and the Sixers will give someone else a chance.

With Andre Miller now running the point, Kevin Ollie isn’t getting much playing time and it’s effecting his play. In his last 8 games, Ollie is only averaging 10.3 minutes, 1.3 points, 1.0 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game. His shooting has also suffered as he’s only hit 35.7% from the floor and that needs to improve if he ever wants to earn more playing time.

After the Sixers decided to jettison Chris Webber they handed the starting job to veteran Joe Smith who was acquired in the Allen Iverson trade. For the Sixers, Smith has played in 11 games (7 starts) and has averaged 23.6 minutes, 7.5 points, 5.8 rebounds and 0.4 assists. The Sixers will need much more than that if they are to compete in the Atlantic Division on the NBA. I know the word “compete” sounds a little strange, but the division is that weak!
