What do you make of this Mr. NBA? Good or bad for Brackins' playing time and role on the team?
Tough to say. My initial reaction is he will have less playing time. The Sixers have a lot of forwards, but none of them are A+ guys. Brand is past his prime and Thaddeus Young and Mareese Speights are still up and comers.
They also have Spencer Hawes as more of a C type and Andres Nocioni as a 3/4 type. Tony Battie is on the roster as well and will be a veteran presence that could get a few minutes here or there.
New Orleans wasn't as deep and had more holes up-front which meant CB was probably going to be the 2nd big guy off the bench.
It will be a fight to see time for CB. But the Sixers are in the middle of a youth movement and Doug Collins wants to play an up-tempo style, which would help Brack's chances of getting some run. My guess is he will be limited in minutes early on, but eventually be a 8-12 minute guy by the end of the year.
Sixers will definitely be a curious team this year. Wish CB the best. Tough to move already after settling in at New Orleans.
