PrintMorning, colonels. Short on time today as it's my last day in the Big Ol' Apple and there's packing to do.
The question is, for those with poor title comprehension: Who is your least favorite guy on the team? Not in terms of his contract or how he fits in with the rest of the guys; I'm talking whose game do you least enjoy. It's one of those situations where it is hard to root for the guy because you dislike him so much. I know most of us tend to forget our grievances with other players when they come here through trades and whatnot, but there's some guys (Glenn Robinson for me) you just don't like. Without Sam Dalembert in town anymore, I have a hunch the votes will sway towards a certain Billiam Green, but we'll see.
I'm leaving Evan Turner and Jrue Holiday off, obviously. And I'm also not putting Tony Battie on the list because hustle/toughness/veteran leadership/defensive-minded/quality player/winner/killer instinct/basketball sense. That's why.

Willie
I figured Willie Green would be the consensus pick, hes the only basketball player i’ve ever seen airball a layup
He's back
JJ Redick did it his rookie year I remember. Completely botched a finger-roll

i am one of the few guys who doesn’t have a problem with Willie Green. I think he is a serviceable backup guard. Decent defense, hustles, one of the few sixers who can create his own shot. I guess if you expect him to be Andrew Toney you will disappointed with him, but he isn’t bad if you can accept him for what he is. His contract is over inflated, but that’s not his fault….
I think the resentment towards Willie Green is based on his having gotten way too many minutes, started way too many games, etc., over the years (plus his contract). He is a serviceable veteran backup SG for about 8-12 minutes a night, but every season, he seems to be in the starting lineup or at least playing 6th man minutes. Hence my suspicion of his having naked donkey sex pictures of Ed Snider ready to post onto the Internet.
Is he atrocious? Probably not. Does he have atrocious moments? Absolutely. Is he a tolerable back-of-rotation player, like a 9th or 10th man? Probably. Should he be starting or getting serious burn? Absolutely not.
Personally, my un-favorite is Lou Williams.
I don’t have a problem with Willie either. He is what he is, most of the time plays within his skillset, works hard and is a nice guy. It’s not his fault the coaches seem to all overvalue his ability.
Most of the same goes towards Smith, Kapono, and even Nocioni. I can’t fault a guy for their lack of basketball ability.
I actually voted for Louis Williams, with Hawes and Speights the next runners up.

I went with Willie for the minutes reason
But gave strong consideration to Lou. I sat next to Willie Green at the cheesecake factory once. He was delightful.

I am surprised...
…that more people didn’t go with the Albatross. Although again, can he be blamed for his contract or his injuries or his aging?

Went for Jason Kapono.
He’s the “not as good a shooter and not as attractive a man” (yeah, I went there) version of Kyle Korver
There can only be one Noce!
I voted for Billy Green
He plays the point and he’s not a good distributor, he takes contested jump shots when the shot clock still has 20 seconds left on it, he can’t defend and he takes minutes away from young players.
Anyway, If I could get rid of one guy on this team it would be Elton and his contract.
And dare we ask how long are the Sixers supposed to sacrifice the development of Willie Green?
haha I just hate Willie, he bores me
I love you, Randy Marsh.

I voted for Jason Smith. He’s the only guy I can remember to completely miss a pass and get smacked in the face with the ball…twice. On a more serious note, he hustles, but just isn’t very talented. He botches countless rebounding opportunities and commits dumb fouls.
