Sixers waived the rook, maybe we might pick him up??

Why? He was waived by an inferior team for a reason.

I dont know about Byars, but the Sixers being inferior (debatable) has little to do with why or why not we would pick him up.

If that ain't the reason, then this is: Byars, at his peak, is carbon copy version of John Salmons. Maybe even less athletic, but stronger. He's versatile and can pass the ball, and despite putting up jacked up shooting %'s at the college level, his lack of shooting lift and slower release means that he's probably relegated to merely decent shooter. Solid defensive fundamentals, but again, lack of great athleticism in a athletic perimeter player-laden league doesn't help him there. He's probably one of those nice college players who probably will struggle at the NBA level; see Gaines, Reece. However, he did show enough in his senior year to be at least, at one point, be considered a near lottery pick; he did drop a lot, but it's obvious now to see why NBA teams are doubting his NBA potential.
