By lots I meant quality not quantity. CLE doesn't have anyone else who can score, so unless they can hold playoff teams under 90, they aren't going to win. I really like my chances in the fantasy basketball league.....I'm probably no better than middle of the pack in scoring, but I'm full of PGs and PF/Cs. PG Deron Williams PG/SG Brandon Roy G Jose Calderon SF Grant Hill PF/C Troy Murphy PF/C Mehmet Okur C Andris Biedrins C Zach Randolph PG Chris Duhon C Andrew Bogut SF/PF Corey Maggette SG/SF Luol Deng PF/C Antonio McDyess Deng could have a good comeback year with Chucker........I mean Ben Gordon gone. McDyess should get a lot of early season minutes since SA will probably try to rest Duncan a lot. Duhon playing in the uptempo D'Antoni offense was pretty good last year in his first year in the system. |

I can see how you think it might, but he is just a huge NBA guy that lives in a city of his most hated team and the worst franchise in the NBA. Which player's jersey was he wearing? You should read some of his archives about LAC, you will quickly understand that he is the farthest thing from a true LAC fan.......he mostly likes to rip their owner and Dunleavy. |

You'll definitely be the team to beat in assists. With the ball in those guys' hands so much, TOs may become a concern. Points will be hard to come by. Not a whole lot of 3 pt shooting, you'll need Randolph to have a huge year. You'll be pretty bad in blocks and steals. We'll see, its hard to project, especially in a 10 team league. Lots of good teams. |

“He’s always been a guy — maybe to a fault — he would always try to do what I said. That seems like something simple in coaching, but those are the guys I hang my hat on. We’ve had some guys in our program, we had a couple guys that felt I had a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. And they were right — I do have a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. I like guys that go to class, that are academic All-Americans, that come early, that stay late, that love the game of basketball. I am biased towards those guys. And I’m biased towards Rob Hummel. But I’m also biased towards their habits, their work ethic, and how they carry themselves." "I’d take him to the ends of the earth — I’d want him playing for me.” - Bo Ryan on Robbie Hummel

no i know he isn't the biggest LAC fan ever, but he despises the lakers, hence the bias. he'd love to throw it in the Lakers' fans face that they have the second most famous man in the city of LA* Edited by BTown11, Oct 27 2009, 06:18 PM.

Screw it, I know he is out alteast another 2 months but I'm going to stash Dunleavy on my bench for a late season push. IND has played a pretty high pace the last few seasons........and it's not like I have any confidence in Maggettee after last season....the guy gets a hangnail in pregame and won't play. Yeah, there are a few categories I will struggle in.....but you don't have to be the top team in each category......plus if I build an early lead in assists I might be able to trade Williams/Duhon/Calderon for a shot blocking C/PF......I'm pretty active and I'll figure out my weak spots fairly quickly. |

that's probably a good move, maggette isn't going anywhere soon. however, being familiar with dunleavy's situation (having gone through it at least 4 times myself), his career doing anything productive is basically over, unless he defies some crazy odds. |

Oh you definitely can't win every category, but being in the bottom 3 in a few categories can really hurt. That's why Howard is such a risk in roto leagues, you can pretty much say goodbye to TOs and FT%. |

In categories like STL/BLK, there are a few teams that dominate and then a bunch of guys in the middle.......you know some guys won't really pay attention so they could waste a bunch of starts on guys who are injured. I will definitely get the most out of my lineups.......I'm not worried about it. I'll finish in the top 5 for sure. |

Im not saying he will be good or bad, im just interested in seeing how he does cause there has never been a player like this. Someone who put up those kind of numbers with that kind of skill set. I hope he does well being a Pacers fan. |
