|
| | | PHILADELPHIA: GUARDS: Welcome to Tankadelphia. MICHAEL CARTER-WILLIAMS will be handed the reigns at the point, and has the size and savvy to create some offense. But a work-in-progress jumper and too many risky passes will lead to plenty of lost possessions . . . The Sixers would love to unload perennially disappointing ex-No. 2 pick EVAN TURNER. He's yet to develop a jump shot, and while he'll start for a laughably thin Philly team, he looks more and more like a second-unit player . . . JAMES ANDERSON could end up playing a lot of minutes off the bench, simply because the Sixers don't have enough NBA-caliber players . . . JASON RICHARDSON will miss at least half the season after major knee surgery. He may never contribute in the NBA again'TONY WROTEN could see the floor plenty as a high-upside player who must cut down on his turnovers and improve his jump shot. FORWARDS: THADDEUS YOUNG will likely step up as the No. 1 option, and he very well may be the only player on this team that would make a rotation of a playoff contender. We'll see what he can do with defenses focused on stopping him . . . LAVOY ALLEN will be leaned on for heavy minutes as one of their few proven players . . . ARNETT MOULTRIE might end up with a very big role this year, as the Sixers are especially lacking post players. He at least rebounds and gets in people's way defensively . . . Philly will try its hand with ROYCE WHITE, who has plenty of talent but just as much baggage. He and the Rockets couldn't see eye-to-eye with how to manage his anxiety issues . . . TIM OHLBRECHT might actually see the court on this team. CENTERS: SPENCER HAWES should start at center, especially early. His mid-range shooting makes him one of the few offensive options on this team . . . Coming off a torn ACL, NERLENS NOEL probably won't be ready until December. He should contribute as a rim protector and rebounder, but will be pushed around and doesn't have much on offense . . . KWAME BROWN is waiting for his contract to be bought out. | | PHOENIX: GUARDS: ERIC BLEDSOE immediately becomes the Suns' best player. He dominated for stretches while backing up Chris Paul . . . GORAN DRAGIC and Bledsoe will play together since they're the two best players on this team. Dragic also has enough size to match up with most twos . . . After a disappointing stint as a starter, SHANNON BROWN will return to the second unit . . . KENDALL MARSHALL doesn't fit new coach Jeff Hornacek's up-tempo style. The Suns will move him if they can . . . ARCHIE GOODWIN looked lost at times at Kentucky, but his ability to get to the line bodes well for his NBA future . . . GERALD GREEN is the kind of athlete who could make an impact on an up-tempo second unit . . . MALCOLM LEE is here in case Marshall is dealt. FORWARDS: MARKIEFF MORRIS has some upside as a skilled stretch four. He's shown flashes over his first two seasons, and playing in Honracek's up-tempo system should only help him take the next step forward . . . MARCUS MORRIS is still a man without a position, a tweener in a bad way. The Suns will try to make him into an effective second-unit guy . . . CHANNING FRYE missed all of last season with a heart ailment, and the Suns don't seem to be expecting to get anything from him this season.CENTERS: MARCIN GORTAT will keep the seat warm for Alex Len. He doesn't fit this up-and-down offense . . . ALEX LEN must become more assertive and the bust factor is high, but 7-footers with his mobility and touch don't come around often . . .

*76ers-Suns Preview* ====================
Philadelphia (8-20) at Phoenix (17-11), 9:00 p.m. EDT
One benefit to the Phoenix Suns' worst loss of the season is that fatigue shouldn't be a factor when they return to the court less than 24 hours later.
The Suns will be favored to bounce back from a dismal shooting effort and add to the woes of the visiting Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday night.
Phoenix (17-11) fell 115-86 at Golden State on Friday, finishing with season lows of 36.0 percent from the field and 17.4 from 3-point range in its lowest scoring effort of the season. The Suns averaged 109.2 points while shooting 46.7 percent overall and 43.1 on 3s during an 8-1 stretch that preceded that defeat.
The lopsided game meant that no Phoenix player logged more than 31 minutes. Coach Jeff Hornacek's starters sat out a meaningless fourth quarter.
"That one, it just looked like there was no way we were going to come back and win that game so try to get some of those other guys in," Hornacek said.
While the Suns were getting blown out in the Bay Area, Philadelphia (8-20) was waiting for them back in Arizona in an odd set of circumstances. The 76ers arrived in Arizona on Thursday to begin a five-game road stretch against Western Conference foes and this contest will their first in exactly a week.
"We play again tomorrow night," Hornacek said. "Philly's been waiting in Phoenix for us, they've been there for two days and haven't played in a week so you know they're going to have a lot of energy."
Phoenix should be excited about facing a Philadelphia team allowing a league-high 111.7 points per game. The 76ers also struggle to defend the 3, allowing opponents to shoot 38.3 percent.
"The 3-point shot has plagued us all year and transition defense needs to be better than it has been," Philadelphia coach Brett Brown said.
This will be a challenging stretch for the 76ers, who are 1-9 against West opponents with seven straight defeats. Philadelphia has yielded 122.6 points per game during a 1-3 stretch before its six-day break without games.
The Suns had been 0-4 in the second half of back-to-back games before winning their last two such contests.
They are clearly very comfortable at home, where they are shooting 41.3 percent on 3-pointers for the NBA's second-best mark and have made a league-best 10.2 per game.
Sixers star Evan Turner, meanwhile, is shooting 39.5 percent on the road compared to 48.0 at home. He turned in his worst shooting effort last Saturday, making 2 of 15 shots for 10 points in a 116-106 defeat at lowly Milwaukee.
Rookie Michael Carter-Williams has posted consecutive double-doubles since returning after missing seven games due to a skin infection on his right knee. The Sixers are a more respectable 7-10 when he plays.
Phoenix reserve Gerald Green has scored 22 in each of his last two home games and could be eager to play Saturday. Green scored a career-high 34 points against the Sixers the last time he saw them April 17 with Indiana.
