Evan Turner had a nice end to his season last year, and now that Iggy is gone his fantasy numbers could improve even more. But there are so many capable wings in Philly; Thaddeus Young, Dorrell Wright, Nick Young, Jason Richardson. Will Turner get the minutes he needs to be a fantasy stud? Thaddeus Young will get minutes at PF as well, but what about the other wings? Are any of them worth owning?

I'm thinking J-Rich still has some gas in the tank and will win the starting SG job. Others will no doubt disagree.

Too many wings in Philly and Collins has stuck to a large rotation in the past.  I'd rather take Wright in the last round than Turner in the middle rounds.  I'm most likely avoiding all 76ers except Holliday.

Nick Young seems an obvious choice to be sixth man, reprising the Lou Williams role. I do like J-Rich to start, with Dorell off the bench, in part because both J-Rich and Young off the bench makes less sense overall. And nobody has a significant enough advantage as a defender to really sway the conversation (remember, they are "replacing" Iggy).

As for Turner becoming a stud, he'll need more than minutes for that to happen. His career per-36s:

12.1 pts (.436/.269/.747), 0.3 3pt, 7 reb, 3.5 ast, 1.9 to, 0.9 stl, 0.3 blk

If you are going to have those middling percentages, then you need some combination of threes and/or defensive stats to buoy your fantasy impact. It wouldn't be a surprise to see his FG% come up a bit, and we know he can rebound, but I'm not exactly loving his setup with Bynum now the focus.

Largely agree Matt. Will be interesting to see if Hawes can handle the 4. If not, Young won't infringe upon minutes from the other wings.

Agree with Buser, its to risky for me, particularly if he goes in the middle rounds.

Having said that theres a fair amount of drafts (well occassionally) where he has dropped a bit and I think his ADP is something like 108 right now just from memory? If he dropped to round 10 or more (Ive seen it ) you maybe getting some value there and its getting towards being worth taking some risks at that point, particularly if youve drafted strongly up until round 9/10, I guess a lot of the time hes going earlier than that though as mentioned.
