WASHINGTON - Carl Landry is casualty of the 76ers' youth movement and tanking approach.
The ninth-year veteran is one of the most effective players on the team's roster. He's making a team-best 57.5 percent of his shots from the field. Whether it's scoring, setting picks or playing defense, the 6-foot-9, 248-pounder almost always provides a spark when his number is called.
However, the 32-year-old's number is rarely called as the Sixers concentrate on developing second-year center Nerlens Noel, 21, rookie power forward Jahlil Okafor, 20, and second-year reserve power forward Jerami Grant, 21.
Rookie power forward Richaun Holmes, 22, sees some time on the occasions when minutes are available.
