Why the Sixers Have A Bright Future

1: Micheal Carter-Williams

Micheal Carter-Williams is one of the purest Point guards in this years NBA draft this year.  He is a 6ft 6in point guard which is a big advantage currently in the NBA where most elite guards are around 6ft 1in.  This means that he can see over the guards and make precise passes.  Also, Williams is very aggressive which is something that the Sixers need out of a guard at the current moment. I project Williams to average about 13 points, 3 rebounds, and 8 assists in his rookie year.

2: Nerlens Noel

Nerlens Noel was ranked as the number one recruit out of high-school, and was also believed by many people to be the top prospect in the 2013 NBA draft.  Noel is a great athlete, and a great defender which is one of the Sixers weaknesses, which is why Noel would be a good fit.  Their are two problems with Noel at the current moment.  One being that he is very undersized at 228 pounds where as most centers are around 250 pounds at the least.  Also, Noel tore his ACL which is a worrisome injury, but that should get better.  I predict that Noel averages around 9 points per game, 8 rebounds per game, and 2 blocks per game.

3: Arsalan Kazemi

Even though Kazemi was passed on by a lot of teams I believe that he has potential to be a solid role-player.  In his senior year at Oregon Kazemi averaged 9.4 points per game, 10.0 rebounds per game, 1.4 assists per game, and 2.0 steals per game.  Kazemi is a great overall player with just the way that he can have the offense flow through him.  He is very aggressive player who is good at getting easy points, Kazemi doesn't try to do to much which makes him succeed.  I predict that Kazemi will average 3 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, and 0.7 steals per game this year.

4: Evan Turner

Even though Evan Turner is a bust in the minds of most people but, I still see a lot of potential.  Turner has shown to be a late bloomer throughout his years in college, and in high-school.  He was really only an elite college player until his third year, and wasn't really only highly recruited until his senior year of high-school.  In ESPN's top 2007 recruiting 100 Turner was ranked at 49th.  That to me shows that he is a hard worker.  I predict that Turner will average 16 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists.

5: Arnett Moultrie

Arnett Moultrie will have a breakout year in my opinion.  Even though Moultrie only averaged 3.7 points per game, and 3.1 rebounds per game at the showed a lot of promise at the end of the year.  During the last six games Moultrie averaged 23.5 minutes per game compared to 11.5 minutes per game for the rest of the year.  In those 23.5 minutes he averaged 8.5 points per game, and 6.5 rebounds per game.  This shows a lot of potential for Moultrie that not many people have noticed.  Also, at 6ft 10in Moultrie is a big body which is something the Sixers need.

6: The 2014 NBA Draft

The 2014 is supposed to be one of the best drafts of all time.  It features stars like Andrew Wiggins, and Jabari Parker both who are already being compared to Lebron James.  With the way that the Sixers roster is currently shaping up it looks like they have a good chance to get the #1 overall pick next year.  Also, players like Aaron Gordon, and Julius Randle are two very talented big-men which could really bring the Sixers roster together.
