21-year old Thaddeus Young is a player on the rise for the Sixers. He played in 75 games last season for the 76ers in which he averaged 34.4 minutes, 15.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.3 steals per game. It’s entirely possible that Young is just scratching the surface of his potential as I could see him easily averaging around 20 points per game this season. 28-year old Jason Kapono will be Young’s back up and he is a sharp shooter. He shot 42.8% from three point range and that is the main skill that he brings to the table. Kapono played in 80 games for the Raptors last season and he averaged 22.9 minutes, 8.2 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game.
