Point guard Jrue Holiday has moved into the starting lineup for the Sixers at the age of 19. He has played in 47 games (25 starts) for the Sixers this season and he is averaging 19.3 minutes, 5.8 points, 2.1 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game. Holiday needs to improve his shot selection a little bit as he is only shooting 39.6% from the floor this season. Shooting guard Jodie Meeks came over last week in a trade with the Bucks. He has played in 2 games (0 starts) for the Sixers so far and he is averaging 3.5 minutes and 0.5 points per game. Meeks has now played into 43 games (0 starts) for the Bucks & 76ers this season and he is averaging 11.5 minutes, 4.0 points, 1.7 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game. Meeks is only shooting 35.4% from the floor and he will need to improve on that to get on the court for the 76ers.

The 76ers got two new players last week on trade deadline day but neither has had a shot to prove anything yet. Jodie Meeks has played in 2 games (0 starts) for the Sixers so far and he is averaging 3.5 minutes and 0.5 points per game. The 76ers still like his upside but he’s buried on the depth chart. Francisco Elson was hurting when the 76ers acquired him so don’t expect too much out of him the rest of the year.

Allen Iverson has left the Philadelphia 76ers due to personal reasons. This might very well end his time with the Sixers. Iverson has played in 25 games (24 starts) for the Sixers this season and he was averaging 31.9 minutes, 13.9 points, 3.0 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game. A.I. leaving the team will likely get Lou Williams back into the starting lineup. Williams has played in 43 games (27 starts) for the Sixers this season and he is averaging 30.3 minutes, 14.4 points, 2.8 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.4 steals per game. Williams was the starting point guard for the Sixers when the season started but he got injured and when he came back they decided to start rookie Jrue Holiday in his old spot. Willie Green will also see a bump in P.T. without Iverson around. Green has played in 50 games (15 starts) for the Sixers this season and he is averaging 21.4 minutes, 8.7 points, 1.8 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game.

The 76ers have acquired 22-year old shooting guard Jodie Meeks and 33-year old center Francisco Elson from the Bucks for 28-year old guard Royal Ivey, 30-year old center Primoz Brezec and a 2nd round pick. Meeks has played in 41 games (0 starts) for the Bucks this season and he is averaging 11.9 minutes, 4.1 points, 1.7 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game. Despite only shooting 36.2% from the floor in his rookie year Meeks does have by far the largest upside of the players involved in this trade. Elson has played in 11 games (0 starts) for the Bucks this season and he is averaging 5.6 minutes, 0.9 points, 1.2 rebounds and 0.2 assists per game. Elson has now played in 404 games (148 starts) in his NBA career and he is averaging 16.3 minutes, 3.9 points, 3.8 rebounds and 0.6 assists per game.

Royal Ivey played in 26 games (0 starts) for the 76ers this season and he averaged 9.1 minutes, 2.7 points, 1.0 rebound and 0.7 assists per game. Brezec played in only 7 games (0 starts) for the Sixers this season and he was averaging 5.1 minutes, 0.7 points and 1.8 rebounds per game.

The Sixers didn’t give up much and they got the best player in the trade (Meeks) and a expiring contract (Elson) so I give them a small win here.

SG/SF Rodney Carney has been a decent player wherever he has played in the NBA but for some reason he never gets his big chance to truly shine. He has played in 43 games (0 starts) for the 76ers this season and he is averaging 10.9 minutes, 3.9 points, 1.6 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game. Carney could get more playing time after the trade deadline if the Sixers make a deal.
