The rookies of the Philadelphia 76ers earn a C

The grade could go up much higher in the future as Rodney Carney and Bobby Jones look like they might turn out to be pretty good basketball players. Forward Rodney Carney played in 67 games this season and he averaged 17.4 minutes, 6.6 points, 1.9 rebounds and 0.4 assists per game. He could be a future starter for the Sixers as it appears that he’s got game. Forward Bobby Jones played in 44 games and he averaged 2.5 points, 1.3 rebounds and 0.4 assists per game this season. He showed at the end of the season that he could play when the Sixers finally let him get his butt off of the bench. Forward Louis Amundson played in 11 games this season and he averaged 8.1 minutes, 1.5 points, 2.8 rebounds and 0.1 assists per game. He rebounded well in his limited time but it’s too early to tell whether he will be a decent player or not.

Rodney Carney has a torn right rotator cuff and labrum and will likely miss the remainder of his rookie season. He played in 55 games and he averaged 17.4 minutes, 6.3 points and 1.8 rebounds per game. He was a decent shooter from the floor as he hit 45.5% of his shots. But, he wasn’t a good free throw shooter as he only made 60.3% of his charity tosses. He looks like a keeper for the rebuilding 76ers.

Rookies to get more playing time for the 76ers

Rodney Carney has moved into the starting line up at small forward and he’s been playing well. Carney has played in 46 games and he’s averaging 16.6 minutes, 6.2 points, 1.7 rebounds and 0.3 assists. Carney has shot well so far as he’s hit 45.5% of his shots from the floor and 40.5% from three point range. The Sixers need to get Carney more shots.

Forward Bobby Jones hasn’t played very much this season but the Sixers might as well let him play more and see what they got in him. Jones has played in 24 games and he’s averaged 5.6 minutes, 1.8 points, 1.2 rebounds and 0.3 assists. He’s shot 48.5% from the floor which is pretty good.

Rodney Carney is looking good

The Sixers have to be happy with Ridney Carney. They have moved him into the starting line-up after Iverson demanded his trade and he’s held his own. He has played in 19 games and has averaged 15.2 minutes, 4.5 points, 1.2 rebounds and 0.3 assists per game so far this season.

None of the rest of the rookies have gotten much of a chance to play. Ivan McFarlin has played the most. He has played in 9 games and has averaged 3.9 minutes, 1.6 points, 0.9 rebounds and 0.1 assists per game so far this season.

Steven Smith has only played in 5 games and has averaged 2.2 minutes and 0.4 rebounds so far this season.

Bobby Jones has only played in 4 games and has averaged 1.1 minutes, 0.3 points, 0.5 rebounds and 0.3 assists.

Carney will determine how this draft class is graded and he’s off to a good start.
