    I know it's kind of early but I'm already thinking of Fantasy BBall!! I know Stevie Franchise is gonna be one of my early picks if I have an opportunity to get him. Since I am not too familiar with the Rockets, wondering if there are any other Rockets that are worth a fantasy pick.
    Also, which place has the best Fantasy league that you have played on?

    Probably Taylor.

    I'd go with Taylor after Francis, because with his scoring and rebounding he should be our second leading fantasy guy. After Taylor, take a look at Cuttino and Shandon, in that order. (Remember we are talking fantasy ball here) The only other Rockets I see with fantasy value are Hakeem and Cato, but they each have their downsides. Hakeem is always injury-prone as you know, and Cato won't get enough minutes to be much fantasy-wise as long as Hakeem is healthy. And even if/when Hakeem does get hurt, Cato probably won't be a great stat man. I'd guess around 11 points/8 boards/2.5 blocks.

    Hakeem, even if he only averages about 20 minutes, that should still get you about 10 pts/7 rebs/1.5 asts/1.5 blks/1 steal and a good fg %. These are Bo Outlaw numbers and we all know that Bo Outlaw is the true fantasy god. [​IMG]

    The Rockets Power Dancers have the highest fantasy value, to me. But hey - if Francis is what does it for ya, be my guest. [​IMG]

    smallworld.com has a salary cap challenge, sandbox.com is where you draft your players so no one has those players( my favorite) unlike salary cap games and its free, nba.com has a salary cap challenge too. I play all three at no cost.

    The Cat, you would take Taylor because of his scoring and rebounding? Now I would probably take Taylor too, but WHAT rebounding? [​IMG]
    Now I think Taylor will improve on his rebounding, but as of right now, WHAT rebounding? Other than him, I would take Shandon cause of his all around stats.
