|
| |  | 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. | | WASHINGTON: GUARDS: Late last year, JOHN WALL finally started to fulfill his promising talent. He got wherever he wanted on the court, and the Wizards were very tough to guard with all the shooters surrounding him . . . BRADLEY BEAL and Wall should mesh beautifully. Beal is a potentially elite shooter, and he rebounds very well for a guard . . . ERIC MAYNOR is fully healthy again after tearing his ACL two seasons ago. He can play some alongside Wall, but mostly he'll be the league's best back-up point guard again . . . GLEN RICE JR. doesn't shoot it nearly as well as his father, but he's an athlete who could break into the rotation down the line . . . GARRETT TEMPLE is insurance in case Wall or Maynor goes down. FORWARDS: The Wizards need NENÊ’S low post offense. It seems inevitable that they'll have to cap his minutes . . . OTTO PORTER is likely to step into the starting lineup early on. They need his defense, as he can guard twos through fours . . . MARTELL WEBSTER will platoon with Porter, providing another outstanding shooter for Wall to feed . . . TREVOR ARIZA is playing out the string on an untradeable deal . . . TREVOR BOOKER has some use as a screener and low-post banger, but not much else . . . AL HARRINGTON may be inefficient, but he can score points in a hurry and is a decent defender'JAN VESELY is still trying to figure out the NBA, though it's too early to give up on his athleticism . . . CHRIS SINGLETON can defend, but he's no more than a garbage-time player due to his atrocious offense. CENTERS: EMEKA OKAFOR may be absurdly overpaid, but he's settled in as a passable starter who helps defensively and doesn't hurt on offense. He'll also miss the beginning of the season with a herniated disc . . . With Okafor's deal expiring at the end of the year, KEVIN SERAPHIN is auditioning to be Washington's center of the future. After showing promise two seasons ago, he was a disaster last season. |

*76ers-Wizards Preview* =======================
By JEFF BARTL STATS Writer
Philadelphia (1-0) at Washington (0-1), 7:00 p.m. EDT
The Philadelphia 76ers' season-opening win over the defending NBA champions was enough of a surprise in itself, but the performance of Michael-Carter Williams turned plenty of heads.
He's not exactly basking in the moment, though.
After a stellar debut, the rookie point guard looks to guide Philadelphia to its first 2-0 start in seven years Friday night as it visits the Washington Wizards, who are wondering when their own prized rookie will be able to take the floor.
The 76ers entered the season under first-year coach Brett Brown with minimal expectations, but they raced out to a 19-0 lead Wednesday before upsetting Miami 114-110.
Evan Turner scored 26 points and Spencer Hawes added 24, but the most impressive performance came from Carter-Williams, who finished with 22 points, seven rebounds, 12 assists and nine steals in his first NBA game.
"You see what he can bring on a big stage," Brown said.
The No. 11 overall pick out of Syracuse dunked for the game's first points, then hit two clutch free throws with nine seconds remaining to seal the victory for Philadelphia, which hasn't won its first two games since starting 3-0 in 2006-07.
"I think we proved to not only ourselves but a lot of people what we can do," Carter-Williams said. "We're going to have a lot of ups and downs, it's just how we're going to respond from the down games that we have and staying with it as a team."
The rookie, though, is trying to move on quickly, especially with the challenge of going head-to-head with Wizards point guard John Wall on Friday.
"My mind and focus is on Washington now," Carter-Williams said. "John's a great player and I have to have all my attention on him and the rest of the Washington Wizards. I had a great game, it was a lot of fun, but we still have 81 games to play, so I still have to stay focused."
Wall had 20 points and 11 assists as Washington fell 113-102 at Detroit in its season opener Wednesday, but he hit only 8 of 21 from the field and committed four turnovers.
"I took a couple of bad shots and I didn't make a couple of easy ones I'm used to making," Wall said. "The main thing is you just have to stay confident and keep shooting. I'm not going to let one game stop me."
The Wizards played without No. 3 overall pick Otto Porter, who is battling a right hip flexor injury. He's considered day to day and said earlier this week he's still experiencing a lot of pain.
Trevor Ariza scored 28 points in the opener, but Washington was outscored 56-28 in the paint and allowed the Pistons to shoot 50 percent from the floor.
"We just have to do a better job as a team of playing team defense," Ariza said. "When they get the ball down low we have to do a better job of getting in there and hitting them."
Wall scored 24 points and Turner didn't score while going 0 for 11 from the field in the last meeting between these teams April 12, but Thaddeus Young finished with 18 points and 13 rebounds to lead the Sixers to a 97-86 victory.
