    Thanks for posting the article. I wish he could stay healthy and play more minutes. Like one guy said though he has trouble staying out of foul trouble though but a lot of young big men experience that early on.

    I must add a player from your team though, Ty Lawson. I knew he was good but I didn't expect him to play this good this early off the bench.

    let me also add Ilyasova and Bogut from the Bucks. Bogut was playing really well prior to his injury...hopefully he comes back up to that

    Definitely Melo... he's having a breakout season. LeBron has yet to stand out... same with Wade... Kobe is being himself... but Melo has really progressed. He'll win the scoring title this season.

    I can't stand Utah but I have to add Carlos Boozer to this list. He's playing very good basketball this year.

    Jason Williams. He's not putting up monster numbers, but he's doing it efficiently. I honestly thought he retired.

    7 pts, 5 assists, 2 rbds in a steal in 25 minutes of action a night

    On 44% shooting and 40% from three, with a 5:1 asst/TO ratio :eek:

    Melo is having a good year thus far but he's still gonna have to prove his consistency. He just went 5-21 last night and he was 6-17 against the Heat. Those are Ariza like percentages.

    Marc Gasol has been killing it for my fantasy team. A double double machine and he occasionally has these multiple block games. :grin: I guess the Lakers didn't totally rob the Grizzlies after all.

    Bynum is doing good but how many teammates does he have that have the ability to set him up? Without them, he looks awkward to me.

    Gallinari, Gerald Wallace, Ellis, M. Gasol, Kaman, Jason Thompson, Brook Lopez. It seems all the young bigs are finally emerging into serious threats on the court

    1)IMHO the entire freshman class this year has played surprisingly well. For a draft that almost everyone thought was "weak", you have guys saying Lopez will be better than the best center in the league after only one year of play.

    2) Channing Frye-I honestly didn't know he would shoot the 3 so well. Nash gives him a lot of open looks but that's all he can really do for you. You still have to make the open shot, and Frye does that consistenttly.

    3) White Chocolate- I honestly thought he was done. Good to see him playing well and effectively

    4) Will Bynum-those dunks were downright nasty.
