He's shooting 40% from 2. Thybulle that is. 66% FT. But somehow I think it was 43% on 3P. Not a ton of attempts, I think 40 or so. The 40% from 2 number is scary, it says he can't finish around the hoop (so far). He's also 22 Y/O. I'd ask for a 1st rounder too for sure. They are desperate for RoCo.

It's all about sample sizes with the guy thus far... what's sustainable... what is a mirage.

- 18 - 45 on two pointers.
- 31 - 67 on three pointers.
- 16 - 24 from the line.

I don't expect him to keep shooting 46% on threes obviously. Conversely, the 66% from the line is probably a bit low. He was a 78% guy in college. The rub is... does he have enough offensive juice to even get to the line for that to matter?

I have no idea. But I do like the idea of a 1st rounder along with him... it's the price to pay for a 76ers title shot.

Roco and Gorgui for Horford.

It'll never happen, but I definitely wouldn't hate it. I love me some Horford.

Horford is already unhappy with his role there. As malleable as he is, he doesn't fit in Philly.

I would be cool with it, but remember this new syestem doesn't allow 2 bigs to be on the court at the same time.

There is only one logical reason that you all would be so enamored with a 33 year old player who will be 34 in June. You gotta be Thibs or someone close to Thibs. That would explain why Camden/Kek are the biggest pro-Thibs and Ryan haters on this Board.

I'm pretty sure Camden and Kek are the same person, I cannot imagine two people liking Thibs after what he did to this team.

Man, I think some of you guys are chronically undervaluing RoCo. I know he got off to a slow start to the year, but he's been playing fantastic ball of late. And the only reason he can't (shouldn't) play the 4 when KAT is back is because of KAT. He and Dieng have been dominant defensively.

If we trade RoCo, we will basically need to replace him with someone with the exact same skills - a two-way defender/shooter than can play either forward spot.

Now if he helps us land our starting PG of the future, I'm all for it. Not sure that deal is out there though.
