Carl Landry 20 minutes helps 76ers to 4th win of season

But as a true professional, he made the best of the situation. He interviewed well, said all the right things, and played a role needed by the team.

Landry took 22 minutes of playing time, and converted that into 16 points on 8 of 11 shots, plus four rebounds, one assist, and one block. It was the type of performance few expected, but it certainly hammered home the point to each rookie and second year player to remain prepared for each game.
