Analysis:

The Sixers were the surprise team of the 2007-08 season, improving as the season went on, making the playoffs for the first time in three years, and giving the Pistons a scare in the First Round. With some financial flexibility and a young, athletic, core, the Sixers have room to grow even more. But Andre Iguodala is a restricted free agent and they have a hole at the four spot that needs filling.

From The Media:

"[Andre Iguodala]'s not a traditional shooting guard; in fact, his perimeter shooting has been the most inconsistent element of his game. I'd like to believe he can improve in that area, and if taking hundreds of shots every day in the offseason is all it takes to make a difference, I'm certain he will do that. But all of those shots in an empty gym won't be the same as trying to get open against the Pistons' defense. It's like trying to get past the VIP ribbon at a posh club; you need credentials to get in. It would be significantly easier for him if he had a couple of sniper teammates stationed on either side of the floor. And while it's nice to think that Young and Lou Williams can help in that area, it would be helpful to see at least one credible new face."
