The Philadelphia 76ers are happy with thier graduating rookie class

Blogged under General, Bloglockers, Rookie Report, Front Page by alleyoop on Friday 16 April 2010 at 1:28 pm

19-year old point guard Jrue Holiday took over as the starting point guard when Lou Williams went down to injury early in the year and Allen Iverson essentially quit the team. He played in 73 games (51 starts) for the 76ers this season and he averaged 24.2 minutes, 8.0 points, 2.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.1 steals per game. He will likely enter next season as the starting point guard for the 76ers and that is a good thing as he improved as the year rolled on. 22-year old shooting guard Jodie Meeks came over at the trade deadline in a deal with the Bucks. He played in 19 games for the Sixers averaging 12.3 minutes, 5.9 points, 1.4 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game. But, in his last five games with the Sixers he averaged 21.8 minutes, 12.4 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game. He also shot 50% from three point range over those last five games. Meeks played in 59 games (0 starts) overall for the Bucks & Sixers last season and he averaged 11.7 minutes, 4.6 points, 1.6 rebounds and 0.6 assists per game. Meeks has a nice upside and the Sixers didn’t give up much to get him at all.

Jodie Meeks has been awful so far for the Philadelphia 76ers

Rookie shooting guard Jodie Meeks has been awful since coming over from the Bucks in a trade at the deadline last month. Meeks has played in 9 games (0 starts) for the 76ers this season and he is averaging 4.9 minutes, 1.6 points, 0.6 rebounds and 0.1 assists per game. He is only shooting 21.1% from the floor for the Sixers which just won’t get him on the basketball court. Meeks does have talent but it might take some time to develop as he looks overmatched right now.

The Philadelphia 76ers need more from their rookies

Blogged under General, Bloglockers, Rookie Report, Front Page by alleyoop on Thursday 25 February 2010 at 1:05 pm

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.

Jrue Holliday is not showing much for the Philadelphia 76ers yet

Blogged under General, Bloglockers, Rookie Report, Front Page by alleyoop on Thursday 7 January 2010 at 12:50 pm

Rookie point guard Jrue Holliday is undergoing growing pains this season for the 76ers. He has played in 25 games (10 starts) for the Sixers so far this season and he is averaging 17.7 minutes, 5.5 points, 1.8 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game. Holliday is only shooting 35.6% from the floor this season and he won’t get much playing time until it improves.

Jrue Holliday is off to a slow start for the Philadelphia 76ers

Blogged under General, Bloglockers, Rookie Report, Front Page by alleyoop on Sunday 15 November 2009 at 10:18 pm

19-year old rookie point guard Jrue Holliday is off to a slow start to his NBA career. He has played in 6 games (0 starts) for the 76ers so far this season and he is averaging 7.8 minutes, 2.5 points, 1.2 rebounds and 1.0 assist per game. As long as Lou Williams is playing well for the Sixers it doesn’t appear like there will be too many minutes for Holliday. Maybe the plan was to bring him along slowly as a rookie this season, after all, the kid is only 19 years old.
