okay guys like i said i was born in sacto but currently live in pa and get all the philly games. I watched many of the games and what i saw in Salmons was an excelent defender, and aggresive scorer. Not close as aggresive as Bonzi but an great back up for Bibby. He's a good spark of the bench. But Bonzi is definetly better. TRUST ME. But i have to say good things bout' him cause he's a king now.

let's give this guy a chance because i know for a fact he didnt get many minutes and was playing with AI and C-Webb who take most of the scoring load for da sixers. He has a great shooting percentage and a decent talent but he aint no Bonzi Well i can tell you that. Lets see how he fairs.
