Player Spotlight: Andre Igoudala

What’s Good Ya'll?!

Another segment of this Blog will be the Player Spotlight. This will highlight players that either need recognition or I predict will have a career/breakout season.

For the first Player Spotlight the player of choice is Andre Iguodala. Iggy has been known his whole career as an extremely athletic wing player who was very good on the defensive end of the floor. But when it comes to the offensive end of the floor he’s known as a Jack-of-all-trades, but a master of none. He has average shooting ability, average handle, average to no post game, and somewhat of clutch playmaking ability.

One thing that I believe will give Iggy life is his recent move to the Denver Nuggets. The 76ers were a run and gun team, but, they had a lot of able young athletic players that all played the same style. And when you have a bunch of equal players running together, it’s really hard to have outstanding numbers because everyone is capable of contributing. Now that he is in Denver, I think Iggy will be thrust into being the star and will be head and shoulders above in regard to who is the 1st option. He will be able to get out on the break and score, turn his defense into offense and get the plays called for him on a consistent basis.

As far as his numbers go, last season he averaged 12 ppg 5 ast and 6 reb, so you can see what I mean when I said a jack-of-all-trades. Those are decent number but those will not really jump out at you. This season I expect Iggy to average around 17 ppg and remain with 6 rebounds and 5 assists. I also believe once he gets comfortable in Denver, he will score a career high in points at some point in this season.


Until next time...
