|
| | | PHILADELPHIA: GUARDS: MICHAEL CARTER-WILLIAMS wasn't the most legit Rookie of the Year, but he had his moments. He should be a little more efficient in his second season, and Philly certainly doesn't have a better alternative at the point. A shoulder injury will likely keep him sidelined for the first three weeks of the upcoming season . . . TONY WROTEN makes some highlight-reel plays and will likely start at the 2. He's too erratic to be in the rotation for a playoff team . . . As for the rest of the backcourt, ELLIOT WILLIAMS is looking to revive his career, and he's no worse than James Anderson and Hollis Thompson, who were starting for this team last season . . . Injuries have all but ended JASON RICHARDSON's career. He's on the final year of his deal, and might not play in 2014-15 after suffering a stress fracture to his right foot in late October . . . ALEXEY SHVED could play some quality minutes at both guard spots for this team. FORWARDS: The 2014 draft was deep, allowing Philly to land a first-round value in second-rounder K.J. McDANIELS. He's certainly better than anyone the Sixers trotted out at the 3-spot last season . . . HOLLIS THOMPSON could keep a starting job warm again . . . Another second-rounder, JERAMI GRANT, could play his way into the rotation. He's talented, but he's also something of a 'tweener, and like most Syracuse guys sitting in a 2-3 zone, Grant never learned how to e-on-one defense . . . ARNETT MOULTRIE has been something of a problem child in Philly, but he's good enough to make this rotation if he turns it around effort-wise . . . LUC RICHARD MBAH a MOUTE is here as a mentor for Joel Embiid. CENTERS: NERLENS NOEL is ready to make his debut. His collegiate rates suggest he'll rebound and block shots. The question marks are durability, functional strength and offensive game. He'll get to learn on the fly . . . JOEL EMBIID's foot problems will keep him out until at least midseason, and the Sixers will certainly play it safe with him. On raw talent, he's a future star. The questions are durability, and whether he can co-exist with Noel. | | NEW YORK: GUARDS: A huge upgrade over Raymond Felton, JOSE CALDERON's shooting and low turnover rate make him a good fit in the triangle offense. Defense will be an issue . . . His shot selection will always be laughable, but J.R. SMITH will still have the occasional blow-up game . . . IMAN SHUMPERT never looked right last season. He won't get bumped from the rotation, but he's in danger of getting just part-time minutes . . . He'll defend, and if his strong shooting as a rookie wasn't a fluke, TIM HARDAWAY JR. will push his way into the starting five . . . PABLO PRIGIONI is a poor man's Calderon . . . SHANE LARKIN has some long-term upside, but is unlikely to contribute this season. FORWARDS: The triangle offense should play to CARMELO ANTHONY's strengths and open things up a bit more than the iso-heavy system they ran under Mike Woodson. He'll be in the running for another scoring title . . . It's another year of ANDREA BARGNANI. The Knicks are too thin to not play him, but his defense is atrocious and he hasn't shot it well in years . . . AMAR'E STOUDEMIRE's monster deal expires after this season, and a trade is a possibility. In a best-case scenario, he can be effective for 20 minutes or so per night . . . Second-rounder CLEANTHONY EARLY has a chance to break into this rotation. He'll defend and pick up some hustle points . . . QUINCY ACY and TRAVIS OUTLAW will provide some much needed depth and energy for a team that can sometimes be lackadaisical on the court. CENTERS: With Tyson Chandler gone, it will be up to SAMUEL DALEMBERT to pick up the defensive slack. He's a capable rim protector and could be in for as much playing time as he's gotten in years . . . JASON SMITH is another defensive-minded big man. He's good in space but is not a polished shot blocker . . . COLE ALDRICH was good enough late last season to earn a bench spot in the 2014-15 campaign. |

*76ers-Knicks Preview* ======================
By NOEY KUPCHAN STATS Writer
Philadelphia (0-11) at New York (3-10), 7:30 p.m. EDT
While no team has struggled as badly as the winless Philadelphia 76ers, the New York Knicks haven't been much better.
The Knicks try to stop the bleeding and add to the 76ers' woes as these Atlantic Division foes begin their season series Saturday night at Madison Square Garden.
New York (3-10) returns home after a defensively dismal two-game road trip, falling 117-113 at Milwaukee on Tuesday and 115-99 at Minnesota the following night. Carmelo Anthony had 20 points in 27 minutes Wednesday before sitting out the entire fourth quarter with the game out of reach.
The Knicks have dropped nine of 10. Philadelphia (0-12) is the only team with fewer wins.
"I just don't want to get used to feeling this feeling, you know, losing basketball games, games that we should be winning," said Anthony, who continues to play through a knee injury. "Just letting it slip out of our hands, regardless if it's early in the season or not."
Defense remains a big issue, having allowed the Bucks and Timberwolves to shoot a combined 52.1 percent from the field and 20 of 39 from 3-point range. Opponents are shooting a whopping 43.3 percent from beyond the arc against the Knicks for the NBA's second-highest mark.
New York is 0-9 when allowing more than 96 points.
"We have to figure out how we're going to play defense as a team, as a unit. That's where it starts," Anthony said. "We have to want it, we have to commit to it and we just have to do it."
A defensive turnaround could begin against a 76ers team that ranks last in scoring with 89.3 points per game. Philadelphia also is shooting an NBA-worst 29.7 percent from 3-point range after going 4 for 23 in Friday's 122-96 loss to Phoenix.
Michael Carter-Williams had 18 points but finished 6 of 18 from the floor, including 0 for 4 from long distance.
"We understand that we need to win, we get that," coach Brett Brown said. "As far as phrasing it or earmarking a particular point on the calendar or a specific team, I haven't gone there."
The 76ers are off to their worst start since opening a franchise-worst 0-15 in 1972-73, when they finished with an NBA-record 73 defeats.
"We haven't won, so we're not in any position to overlook any opponent," Knicks coach Derek Fisher said. "We're fighting and scrapping hard to become better ourselves, we're in no position to judge. Until we show up and we start winning, we can't look down our nose at anybody."
Help could be on the way for New York with Jose Calderon expected to debut. The veteran point guard, acquired from Dallas in a six-player trade this summer, hasn't played after aggravating a calf injury while warming up for the season opener.
"We don't want to put too much pressure on him," Fisher said of Calderon, averaging 10.2 points and 6.8 assists over nine seasons. "Anytime you can add a good veteran presence - a guy that understands the game - it helps to be a good symbol of composure and poise and leadership out there on the floor."
New York has taken 10 of 13 from the 76ers, including three of four last season. Amare Stoudemire averaged 22.0 points on 77.1 percent shooting in those victories, and he missed a 110-106 home loss Jan. 22 due to injury.
Anthony, who finished second in the NBA with 27.4 points per game in 2013-14, averaged just 22.3 against the 76ers while shooting 38.1 percent.
