Shooting Guards
Gerald Henderson is yet again is one of the savvy veterans that the Sixers have on their roster this season. He brings the mental toughness and tough style of play on the perimeter that the Sixers lacked in recent seasons. Henderson is only an average NBA athlete, so he has to be a tough player on both ends of the floor in order to thrive in the Association.
Nik Stauskas is slowly ripping away the label of “bust” in front of this name. He is doing it by playing smart basketball. It is a learned skill for Stauskas, but his smart shoot selection and ability to sneakily get to the basket is what benefits the Sixers the most.
Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot is still a very raw talent that head coach Brett Brown has the time to mold. Raw is the word to describe Luwawu-Cabarrot. However, rawness is not an attribute that really can be described as a quality. High energy is though, whenever he enters the game he goes a 110 percent. Now that he has more playing time thanks to president of basketball operations Bryan Colangelo waiving of Hollis Thompson. With that trade Luwawu-Cabarrot more playing time and can give the team much more of a boost in energy whenever he is on the court.
