<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Sixers.com - Philadelphia 76ers President Billy King announced today that the team has signed restricted free agent guard Willie Green to a contract. Per team policy, terms of the contract were not disclosed. With the transaction, the Sixers roster now stands at 14.Green rejoins the Sixers after missing the majority of this season rehabilitating from arthroscopic left knee surgery done in August of 2005.For his career, the 6-foot-4, 200-pound guard has averaged 7.3 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 16.7 minutes per game in 110 games (21 starts). He logged time in all five of the Sixers First Round Playoff games last season against the Detroit Pistons , averaging 5.4 points, 1.8 rebounds and 0.6 assists in 12.6 minutes per game.</div>Source: Sixers.comGood to see Willie back after his offseason knee surgery, but he probably won't be making much of an impact this year. He is more of a player for the future, and he needs to learn the point guard position.

He is more of a piece for the future than for the present, and it's not like he'll make a huge difference in the result of our first-round series against Detroit.
I think he should do well in Philly. I really hope his game devolps well along AI because he is young and he has potential to be pretty good.
