		<description><![CDATA[what do you mean a &quot;real&quot; 2, 3, and 5?  If you&#039;re implying that they&#039;re imaginary, I&#039;m pretty sure you&#039;re wrong on that.  If you&#039;re stating that they are playing out of position, i think you&#039;re wrong there too.  Jason Richardson and Nick Young are actually a dying breed of &quot;real&quot; shooting guards.  They are guys that can shoot, run off screens, and have ideal size.  They epitomize the shooting guard position.  Guys like them, Kobe, Rip Hamilton, and Ray Allen are some of the few true shooting guards we have in this league.

As for the 3, Evan Turner is actually an ideal small forward.  Does he have room for improvement, absolutely, but he is definitely a &quot;real&quot; small forward.  A small forward is expected to be able to score, defend, pass, rebound, and post up when called upon.  Even Turner does all of those things well.  The only other thing you might want you small forward to be able to do well is bring up the ball in a point forward role and Evan Turner is actually one of the best 3&#039;s at doing that.

Is Lavoy Allen a real 5?  No.  But Andrew Bynum, Spencer Hawes, and Kwame Brown, are real real 5&#039;s.  The best one is hurt and the worst one has been pretty much worthless, but they have 3 5&#039;s on the roster.  I don&#039;t think you wanted to use the word &quot;real.&quot;  I think you wanted to use the word &quot;better,&quot; and it that case, so does pretty much everyone.  Every team in the NBA could use better 2&#039;s 3&#039;s and 5&#039;s.  Even the heat could use them.  If you wanted to say that then say that, but The Sixer&#039;s 2&#039;s, 3&#039;s, and 5&#039;s are most certainly &quot;real,&quot; unless of course you actually were implying that they were imaginary, in which case, taht&#039;s going to be another conversation entirely.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ummm the sixers back=up point guard is so bad that they use their small forward as their back-up point guard. In what world is the drop off from Evan Turner to Dorell Wright bigger than the drop off from Jrue Holiday to Royal Ivey?  They need Maynor pretty bad.]]></description>
