Two games are in the books and Team USA remains undefeated. Sixers swingman Andre Iguodala isn’t the main reason why and we’re not homers who will say that even if it’s not true. However, Iggy has played solidly and is displaying some of the tough defense new Sixers coach Doug Collins wants to see from the young lad.

In two games, Iggy has played 35 minutes and has 16 points, six rebounds, four dimes and four steals. He robbed Croatia three times in 14 minutes during Saturday’s 106-78 win.

On Sunday, the Sixers borderline star put up 11 points in 21 minutes. Iggy started both games, which shows that Team USA coach Mike Krzyzewski has faith in him. Either that, or he’s trying to help out his assistant coach’s dad get a good look at his new forward. Doug Collins’ son is on coach K’s staff at Duke. Having said that, Iggy has often been praised in league circles and we believe he earned the right to start.

Andre Iguodala is making a name for himself at the FIBA World Championships.

In any event, Iggy isn’t dominating like a Kevin Durant. Then again, this team doesn’t need that. He is showing he’s a very good No. 2 option on a team, something Sixers fans have long known. Put a star next to Iggy, and his career will take off much like a Scottie Pippen. Iggy has that kind of athleticism and ability. He just can’t be the no. 1 man on a team.

In addition to final numbers above, two other things stand out. First, Iggy is 7-of-11 from the floor. This shows consistency when he takes good shots. That’s something he needs to focus on. Forget the three-balls, kid.

Secondly, the only negative we can tell is his ability to prtect the ball. He has as many turnovers (four) as assists. He’s got to work on that.

The bottom line is the experience will be good for Iggy and his versatility could put him on the radar for the next Olympic squad.
