What kind of potential does a 6’3″ 2- Guard who is slow, can’t play much defense, can’t handle the rock and is 28 have?
At best, he could aspire to be poor man’s Jeff Malone.
…when Malone was a 76er.

Excuse me? Have you ever watched a Sixers game? First of all, he’s not young (28) or green (6 years in the league). Of the 10 current Sixers who were drafted by the team, Willie is the second-oldest, after Allen Iverson. For his career he shoots 42% from the field and 31% from downtown, and he’s a sub-par defender at best.
I’m sorry, I don’t disagree with the point of the article or anything, but seeing a sentence that egregiously out of whack makes me wonder if you know the team or are just regurgitating the common wisdom.
