Dominick Barlow
If the Sixers have to choose between Barlow and Walker, Barlow will be the choice. The 22-year-old forward, who has 128 NBA games of experience, has been fabulous in his 32 games. He is in the midst of a career season with 8.2 points and 5.1 rebounds (2.2 offensive) in 24 minutes of action. He has scored in double-figures on 15 occassions, including one 20-point night, and produced one double-double.
Barlow is a mobile or switchable big man who is a good enough defender that doesn’t get hunted. Barlow provides rim-protection, even if he isn’t a pure shot-blocker, and is a rim-runner who pressures the paint. He can also defend in space and is the perfect complement for all three Sixers stars.
