Gratuitous bump I know. But these were the top two updates in my fantasy basketball news feed just now:
Hedo Turkoglu is shooting just 4-of-21 through three preseason games with the Suns. Coach Alvin Gentry said that he's being too unselfish, but the bigger issue is his adjustment to playing power forward. "The new position is hard," said Turkoglu. "I never played power forward in my life ... I'm trying to learn on defense, too."
Baron Davis (strained calf, sore left knee) could play a few minutes in Tuesday's exhibition.
"We're just building him up," coach Vinny Del Negro said. "His conditioning is getting better. His weight is getting better. Really it's just a matter of getting him out there." This is the first bit of encouraging news we've had about Baron this preseason, and hopefully there won't be any setbacks.
Safe just to assume that if had beaten the champs in the first round (3 votes...) that I would've won the title instead?
Well Cousins's 16 and 16 preseason performance probably boosted your own bitterness if nothing else, huh?
Cousins, last 3 games:
17pts, 11rebs, 1 block,6 fouls, 25 mins
15pts, 3 rebs, 6 fouls, 21 minutes
16 pts, 16 rebs, 5 TO's, 5 Fls, 30 mins
Intruiging to say the least.
