Which brings us to Aaron McKie of the 76ers, who is accumulating numbers like a CPA at tax time. McKie has played at 2. Also at 3. When Eric Snow went down, McKie became a 1. Were he not starting, he would be a 6, and as such a solid candidate for this year's Sixth Man Award as best off the bench.
Some players get starters' minutes and shrink.
But McKie has flourished playing the point full time, and so has everyone else, most notably Allen Iverson. If you have followed the Sixers, you have a new appreciation for all that McKie can do. McKie has not only got game, he has got all-around game. He is the Sixers' most consistent perimeter shooter. He collects triple-doubles.
