Great read on Tay’s importance in the playoffs (funny Artest bit at the end):

Now the boxscore to the youtube vid:

Now what is taking the Locker Room’s Online Store (can’t vouch for the physical locations back home) so long to stock Stuckey jerseys? How am I ever gonna wear his jersey to the game at Staples against the Lakers if I can’t find one? Not cool, Locker Room, not cool.

pipe morgan: For fantasy drafts I like to get a big man with my first pick that will get me 20 and 10. 2nd pick usually best player whether is be another big man or a guard. I find the 2 guard spot is the least important spot since every team has a shooting guard who can fill it up.

OT: I just saw a cool video of Tayshaun Prince at UK opening the game with 5 3-pt shots vs. North Carolina at home. The crowd goes bananas and the last of the 5 shots is from about 35 feet like a dagger. It’s one of the cooler things I’ve seen in a college game and the Bill Raftery play-by-play is awesome.

2) I’d say Stuckey sees the court well. He’s definitely a good passer but also not afraid to look for his shot. As I recall, he’s had a few other chances for assists that ended up as turnovers because his teammates weren’t always expecting the ball — that’s what the preseason is for, though.

Rob G: It seemed like Flip Murray’s playing time was the result of a structured plan. Rip and Chauncey played most of the first and third quarters — the few minutes they sat, Stuckey and Arron Afflalo played. Flip Murray played the entire second, sharing the backcourt with Stuckey. And then in the fourth, Saunders let Stuckey, Hayes and Sammy Mejia play the entire period.

It’s obvious the team wants to give Stuckey as many minutes as possible, and since Murray is a known quantity, it makes sense to give Afflalo a look to see if he deserves a rotation spot, and give Mejia at least some time. (I still don’t know if Mejia will make the team, but if he does, he’ll likely spend most of the year in the D-League, so now is really the only time the coaching staff will have a chance to see him in game-action up close.)

Fred: it’s too early to bring Webber back. Amir and Nazr have relatively minor injuries that came out of nowhere and shouldn’t be a problem come opening night. The lack of depth shows up now because the starters are only playing so few minutes. Once Rasheed and McDyess start playing 30 minutes, it’ll be awfully difficult to find enough time for Maxiell, Nazr and Amir, let alone another big man.

Sorry this isn’t on subject, but I want the opinion of the readers here on Fantasy Basketball strategy. I have my draft next week and have a strong idea on what my strategy is(point guards and power forwards), but was just wondering what everyone here thinks.

Thanks

PS: Stuckey for ROY

That being said, I don’t know if he can change anything once the real games begin. The dynamic that can change is Flip learning when Sheed is gong to get a tech and stepping in and taking one for him. That would not only keep Sheed in the game, it might help their relationship. And Flip being ejected… has it ever happened?
