Speights and Holliday? Okay Speights looks like a nice player, especially at 16, but Lawson was available when Holliday was up. I think people mistakingly credit him for the Young pick, but that was actually BK. For reference, Doug Moe had a better winning percentage (.339) for the Sixers when he got canned, than Jordan does now for them (.259) - and Moe went into the hiring with a far better winning percentage (.553 vs .444) Stefanski has been impressive with draft picks?

And Brand's numbers are actually really good this year. Jordan just doesn't give him minutes. Stefanski knew when he fired Mo Cheeks that he was going to have to hire a new coach the next year. And Eddie Jordan was the best he could come up with? He thought that a team of athletic studs would work well in the Princeton offense? Though he has been impressive with his draft picks, otherwise Stefanski has done an awful job. Well, the funny part is, a big jump shooter is exactly what is needed in the Princeton offense.

I can only speculate on why Ed Stefanski hired Eddie Jordan, but he did and now he's stuck with him. Jordan is quite obviously incompetent, but for Ed to fire him now--a quarter of the way into his first season--would more or less be an admission of HIS OWN incompetence. He chose the guy, right? To make it worse, Eddie Jordan clearly hates Elton Brand and despite Brand's recent good play, Jordan is keeping him chained to the bench. Besides hiring Jordan, signing Brand was Stefanski's other big move, so now he's watching his hand-picked coach lead the team into the toilet while his $75 million free agent languishes on the sidelines. How long can this go on? What we’ve got here is actually pretty close to an actual Catch-22. I can only speculate on why Ed Stefanski hired Eddie Jordan, but he did and now he’s stuck with him.
