The 76ers let Andre Miller go as a free agent and that could come back to haunt them this season. 22-year old Louis Williams will take over for Miller as the starting point guard this season. He played in 81 games for the 76ers last season and he averaged 23.7 minutes, 12.8 points, 2.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.1 steals per game. Williams will probably be a shoot first point guard which will be a change of style at the point guard position. 19-year old Jrue Holliday was the Sixers’ first round pick out of UCLA (17th pick). The Sixers will probably use kid gloves with Holliday this season unless Williams gets hurt in which case he would probably start. 27-year old Royal Ivey will be back for the Sixers but that’s nothing to be happy about. He played in 71 games for the 76ers last season and he averaged 12.1 minutes, 3.0 points, 1.1 rebounds and 0.6 assists per game. If he plays more that 12.1 minutes a game this season the Sixers are in big trouble.

PROJECTED GRADE FOR THE POINT GUARDS IN 2009-2010: D+
