http://www.philly.com/mld/philly/sports/basketball/9095078.htm
The 76ers and the Saint Joseph's duo of Jameer Nelson and Delonte West got off to good starts as NBA summer leagues began last night.
Andre Iguodala, the Sixers' top pick in the draft, scored 15 points in a 79-67 win over the hosts in a Minnesota Timberwolves Summer League game at the Target Center.
Iguodala, a 6-6, 207-pound forward selected ninth overall, was 3-for-9 from the field and had six rebounds, two assists and two steals.
The Sixers also were led by Willie Green, who had 23 points, Demetrius Alexander, who added 12, and John Salmons, who had 10 points and three steals.
Green scored 12 of his points in the second quarter to help the Sixers to a 50-36 halftime lead.
Minnesota outscored the Sixers, 17-9, in the third quarter, but the Sixers regrouped and led by as many as 12 points midway through the fourth quarter.
Minnesota was led by Keith McLeod, who had 19 points, and Josh Davis, who added 18.
Nelson and West made their debut in the Pepsi Pro Summer League, held at the RDV Sportsplex in Orlando.
Nelson, selected 20th by the Denver Nuggets before being traded to the Magic, had 13 points on 4-for-10 shooting, five assists, four rebounds and two steals in an 89-73 loss to Cleveland. The Magic's Dwight Howard, the No. 1 pick in the draft, had seven points, 11 rebounds and four blocks.
The Celtics' West, the 24th overall pick, had six points on 3-for-9 shooting, with six rebounds, two assists and one block in an 86-69 win over the New Jersey Nets.
