Andre Iguodala has been the Sixers leading scorer since Allen Iverson left four years ago. He averaged 18.2, 19.9, 18.8 and 17.1 respectively, and been at least two full points ahead of the next leading scorer. Will he lead the Sixers in scoring for the fifth consecutive year?
A few weeks ago in my official 2010-2011 preview I boldly predicted that no Sixers player will average more than 15 points per game. I realize the likelihood of this happening is slim to none, but remember, Iguodala was the only player over 15 points per game last year at 17.1. The point I was trying to make is how deep the Sixers roster is. Not deep as in oozing with superstars like the Lakers, Celtics and Heat, but deep as in how many players they have capable of scoring between 10-15 points per game.
Here's the list of guys who are capable of scoring at least 10 points per game this season:
- Andre Iguodala
- Evan Turner
- Lou Williams
- Marreese Speights
- Jrue Holiday
- Elton Brand
- Thaddeus Young
- Spencer Hawes
- Andres Nocioni
