Exactly, we don't have anyone else that could start at that position.

If anything, the question isn't at all about what position AI will play. The real serious question is what position will Andre Igoudala play? I think there is a good case to be made to have him move to SF and bring in someone else to play SG. Kyle Korver's complete collapse in the playoffs and the fact that he was made a starter because he was O'Brien's love child should move him to 6th man.

I agree with moving Iguodala to the 3 spot and Korver to the bench IF we get someone who can run at the 2 guard. If we don't get a SG in the draft or free agency I'd like to see Willie Green get his chance at starting, now that he's free from O'Brien's prison.

I prefer keeping Iguodala at the two guard because that way we don't lose too much on size in the backcourt. We already have Allen Iverson who is undersized for any position and if have Willie Green starting and Iggy playing small forward we will be short as hell. The only way I want see Iggy playing small forward for extended times is when we have a large shooting guard on which we don't have at the moment.

I think you guys should keep A.I at PG. The guys he'll be matched up against will most of the time be 2-3 inches taller than him which is better than him guarding 6' 6 guys.I also think A.I is ridiculously effective with the ball in his hands. Plus, he is a natural leader and with him running the offense, the younger players will get better and go in the right direction.

I think this is a no-brainer ai HAS to stay at the point guard for this to work. The big question is how to force Korver on the bench, I don't want to move Iguodala to the 3 spot as KunLun had said, we don't know if Green has rusted since being in the Prison of O'brien's. Then there's the fear that he is the Ai Mo cheeks does not want. I doubt he'll be starting, we'll have to deal with Kyle korver, We could put Pat Carroll at the 2 he'll be undrafted a free agent, and will easily be signable by the sixers,Dwyane jones is also nice, He'll be around our pick without question and is a small forward at heart, and size. These 2 can easily put Korver on the bench without question. But if we truly want Ai at the two something Mo cheeks has to decide on, then I suggest they bring in Louis Williams 6'2 guard High school Sophmore, He should be an explosive and very well young player, I don't know if he's an experienced point guard but from what I've heard he has a great ball handle, Memphis's pick is still up for grabs, I wonder if we can get that maybe get ourselves a forward. But whatever we do it is vital we get Korver on the bench, He is a late-game situation guy at best, and should be nothing more OR less, we have the talent to win the title now it comes down to. Using it!

Dude, there is no way Korver is forced to the bench by Pat Carroll, Dwayne Jones, or Louis Williams. If Pat Carroll is going to be undrafted, he is going to be undrafted for a reason. If he coudl come in and start for a playoff team, he would NOT be undrafted. The chances of a second round pick instantly starting for a playoff team is close to 0, the chances of a UDFA starting is probably 0. Dwayne Jones as a SF? This guy is 6-11 and never attempted a 3pt shot in his college career. He is no SF, he is a post player like Dalembert. I wouldn't mind getting him, but expecting him to start right away, especially at SF, is crazy.

Also, "Louis Williams 6'2 guard High school Sophmore"? Did you copy that froma website? Because a HS sophmore is not available to be drafted, Louis Williams is a HS senior who has a upside similar to Iverson. The problem is, he is VERY raw, and there is no way in the world he could start in his rookie season. I personally like him and would love it if the sixers drafted him, but expecting him to start at PG, with his less-than-average PG skills, is insane. Also, this would make our backcourt extremely undersized.

Getting the #19 pick would be a good way to get a player capable of pushing Korver to the bench. Maybe we would sign or trade for someone too, or promote someone from within (Green, Salmons?). While I believe Korver is best limited to 25 minutes a game and coming off the bench, there is no way players like Pat Carroll, Dwayne Jones, or Louis Williams could do that next year.
