The Raptors Select One of the most athletic Big Men in the league: Sean Williams

Love that pick. I almost picked him instead of Yi.

Same...needed a center but I wasn't sure if Williams adds anything besides defense at this point.

I didn't...I actually don't know much about him besides his block skills.  A lot of potential there, and the center position is basically his to lose this year.  Hopefully he and Boone make an imposing frontcourt for our fantasy purposes.

There are still a handful of guys where I'm a bit surprised to still see them available.  People should be getting some good value here.

Over Yi yes, but Sean Williams (from what I've read, so it may be crap) while being a marvel athletically such that it hides a lot of his weaknesses, he just isn't that good a man defender, and offensively, challenged is being nice.

Terrible summer league too from what I've read.

Yeah, the statistics showed that B.C. was actually better defensively with him *off* the court.  He gets out of position a lot.  Still, he's got the skills to be a game-changer on that end.

We need another controversy to stir things up.  I am hereby nominating that Tony Parker be ineligible for the 2008-2009 fantasy season due to visa issues, in hopes that JSaad's head will explode. 

Who supports me?

the league is working on a fountain of youth.  Soon, 3 select players of the NBA past will be the test subjects and eligible to play.  The league will not disclose the names of the three individuals until after the draft.





How is that?

To be honest, I'm pretty darn annoyed.

I will not recognize any player that is under foreign contract that is picked from 6/7 on.
