 I really like the kid and look forward to his progress in his second season. I think with the hard work he is putting in, he is going to make a great impact next year. He had me laughing with his last comments as well, really enjoy his personality. 

Also Craig Brackins has been working hard and really seems in tune with what he needs to do to not only improve his game but help the Sixers next year.

As far as draft prospects interviews with the sixers this is what I gathered

Vucevic- focused and well versed. Takes the game seriously and is focused on improving his skill set but not really interested in expanding it.

Hamilton- Not really concerned about defense. He talked about proving that he is more than a perimeter shooter and expanded on his focal points on offense but had litte to say of his efforts to improve defensively.

Singleton- softspoken but seems very self aware.  A true competitor that has the desire to contribute in the league. Is he a 3 or 4? He tried to refine his skills to be more of a 3 and can defend both spots. He needs to improve on his perimeter offensive skills. 

Markieff Morris- said he was a Cowboys fan growing up, sixers dont draft him! Theres something sketchy about people in Philly who are cowboys fans. Seriously though I think he could be a very servicable big but I think he will never be more than a rotation big at best.

Tyler Honeycutt- really impressed with his interview and how he performed in the workouts. He showed how versatile and well rounded his game is. He really was reigned in a little bit at UCLA but he has a lot of potential going forward. He has the quickness and height to play the 2 or 3 but he really needs to add some weight to that frame.

I’m a fan of Turner, i think he needs to continue to improve on his jump shot and he will be just fine.

Morris or Vucevic is the pick for Philly with Singleton only in the mix if they can’t keep Thad.

Turner should be shooting a million jumpers a day with a coach watching his form.  If Andre is gone, he’ll surprise people with how quickly he develops.
