I was planning to pick JR back up again, but by then it was unclear what his role would be. I was also planning to pick McCants up again in a few days; I couldn't believe someone would pick him up while he was injured and out for an indefinite period.</p> The word on zaza is that he is the starter, and Horford will come off the bench and back up both the center and PF positions. Of course, zaza could still just play 15 minutes a night . . . but he was pretty good the last two years. I could forsee both zaza and horford playing about 25-30 minutes a night each, and if zaza gets that, he could average 12 points and 8 rebounds, which would be fine. We'll see.</p>

Are you saying KC's about to be eaten by a feral cat? Enjoy that acorn while you can! Are we still using metaphors?</p>
It's Me Ghoties has 3 players ranked in the top 25, 5 players ranked higher than my top guy, Rudy Gay, at 30. Just pointing this out now so at the end of the week I'll either have bragging rights or an excuse.</p>

It's Me Ghoties <font color="#ff0000">h</font>as a name more clever than 100% of the other teams in the league. Just pointing this out so at the end of each week I can either have something positive to fall back on, or use it to boost my boasting even higher. </p> </p>

I agree, but it's pretty tough to get into the top 30 w/o significant playing time. Outside of that issue, I like the rankings a lot.</p>

It would be hard to notice a difference in the year-to-date numbers, because scrubs that have high shooting percentages would be very far behind in the quant categories (although they would get a boost from turnovers).</p>
As a further example, there are players that play a lot (and so have decent Assist, rebound, steal, and block numbers) but may get to the line just once a week and have a 1.000 FT%. They shouldn't be higher than someone with similar stats, but who shoot 80% free throws on more attempts, but they are.</p>
Wonder Bread offered meStromile Swift, Mehmet Okur, and Francisco Garcia for Joe Johnson and Pau Gasol. ShouldI have accepted?</p>
