Sigurno ce Sacramento po sestog talentiranog visokog

pa treba se pocet pripremat za dan kad boogie vise nebude tamo...

I Phila bi dala Noela za Hezonju jedino ako su one ekipe u svojim istraživanjima otkrile da je Noel na heroinu.

Ovo vjerovatno nema veze s istinom al bilo bi odlično za Marija da završi kod Spolestre. Inače sada sam i pročitao da Orlando traži playmakera.

Although Windhorst adds that the Magic are seeking scoring help in general, the focus on the point guard position is interesting. Elfrid Payton, now 22 years old, hasn’t taken significant steps forward, having averaged a modest 10.9 PPG and a career-low 5.7 APG this season. His backups, D.J. Augustin and C.J. Watson, provide decent depth, but neither player is the type that will fill up the score sheet on a given night.

SG Mario Hezonja

Hezonja is another 2015 draftee who is experiencing a sophomore decline. After a solid 2015 campaign, the Croatian stud has faltered in surprising fashion, shooting just 19 percent from deep and losing playing time, despite the departure of Victor Oladipo on the wing.

As someone who could be seeing a D-League stint soon according to coach Frank Vogel, Hezonja is clearly someone who has fallen out of favor from a rotational perspective. He’s barely seeing the court on some nights, and has been inconsistent when he has been playing.

Despite some glaring concerns however, the Sixers would be foolish not to give Orlando a call here. Hezonja is a higher draft pick that Johnson — 5th overall — and still possesses some promising attributes long term.

He’s a impressive athlete on the wing, with fluid motion and excellent size at 6-8. Hezonja is capable of playing above the rim with ease in transition, and when on his game, is a snipper when trailing in position. He’s a confident athletic force, and an even more confident shooter — it’s just a matter of putting him in the right position to succeed.

Coming into the league, Hezonja’s trademark was his attitude. He showed a lot of swagger overseas with Barcelona, and brought that fiery attitude to the NBA Draft discussion with him. While his emotional investment in games turned into an issue at times, there’s little denying how effective Hezonja can be when he’s into the game.

He drew J.R. Smith comparisons for a reason. While that may not be the blessing that many fans want to here, having a sharpshooter who knocks down shots from anywhere on the floor is always a bonus.

What the Philadelphia 76ers Must Give Up

Like Johnson, it’s tough to gauge where Hezonja’s value stands at this point. His decrease in both playing time and efficiency are clear concerns, yet the tremendous upside he possesses as a prospect is difficult to overlook.

With that said, one factor that’s different between the two cases is the fact that the Magic seem much more willing to dangle Hezonja on the trade market. While there aren’t as many straight up reports on the issue, Coach Vogel stating the possibility of assigning him to the D-League shows that team doesn’t consider him all that useful to the rotation.

They’re clearly encouraged by his performance thus far in 2016, and that could lead Orlando to parting without too much resistance.

A reasonable conclusion to draw here would once again be draft picks. Whether it be a future first rounder of some sort or a handful of seconds, lobbing a nice package of picks could be enough to force Orlando’s hand on the issue — especially if they aren’t confident in Hezonja as a player.

Covington works his way into the conversation here as perhaps the most valuable piece the Sixers should consider giving up, while the likes of Nik Stauskas, Hollis Thompson and T.J. McConnell are easily traded in this scenario. McConnell’s lack of a backup does draw some concerns there, however.

ova dva posta iznad treba zajedno citat a tema je sta phila treba dat za Hezonju

Hezonja i Rudež griju klupicu dok se Meeks i Jeff Green igraju veterana. Šteta što Magic nema muda da pusti tog malca s lanca.
