Need4Sheed Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Philadelphia 76ers center Spencer Hawes? He's really improved. Really, really improved. If he isn't the NBA's most improved player (not the award, just the designation) in 2011-12, then he's close. And he may have former Seattle SuperSonics superstar Shawn Kemp to thank. Hawes, whose game reminds of Kemp's in ways you might not anticipate nor remember, apparently worked out with Kemp over the extended offseason. Hawes grew up in the Pacific Northwest, where Kemp still resides, and the former All-Star apparently was more than keen to bestow a bit of this and that on the 76ers big man. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nba-ball-dont-lie/spencer-hawes-turnaround-may-sprung-shawn-kemp-tutelage-202057686.html;_ylt=AkJKm2BA8ddYHoKkETALIPS8vLYF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) Philly has a lot of interesting pieces... With all that young talent would you be opposed to trading Iggy for a budding young star with major upside and continue adding pieces around that guy for the futre via the draft or free agency?

Need4Sheed Posted January 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 I depends, Iggy is finally starting to play the role he was meant for. That is not thinking he is the superstar taking every shot that comes his way. He is getting a lot of praise for his current change of play in Philly this season.

TheNotoriousBANG Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) If he keeps listening to Shawn Kemp, Hawyes will end up with 8 different kids from 9 different baby mommas Edited January 11, 2012 by TheNotoriousBANG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
His Greatness Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 If he keeps listening to Shawn Kemp, Hawyes will end up with 8 different kids from 9 different baby mommasI somehow highly doubt that Mr. Kemp will be advising Hawes to father illegitimate children, sound as that may be.

headliner Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 This team has loads of young talent and they continue to develop and get better and as a fan that’s what you expect and this team and the coaching staff has done that. They just need to continue to develop their young players and add through free agency and the 76ers should be solid for years to come.
