Last night he had one of the worst 49-minute, 18-point games you could ever possibly have, if that makes any sense. He's traditionally a pretty empty scorer, but should be on rosters in most leagues. It's tough to compare him to the other 2 guys you mentioned because all three have question marks, but i'd say Bonzi Wells is more valuable than either of the other two guys.

He's just a far superior player to Nachbar and I think that will become apparent soon enough. And despite last night's victory, I don't think we have to worry about the Hornets running off a long winning streak and "not changing what's working," y'know? Don't drop Mason, but the Hornets are a young/inexperienced team, so they could have a more volatile rotation than many squads. Not too long.

But don't expect him to flirt with a triple-double every night, and note that he didn't have any 3s, steals or blocks and shot 4 of 10 from the field. That's why I've been down on him -- he's clearly one of the best playmakers in the league, I watched that entire game and the majority of those assists were creations by him, not simply someone making a shot off a pass. Fantasy-wise, I'm thinking maybe a cross between Eric Snow's best years (which were damn solid) and Andre Miller. I still wouldn't want him any higher than #2 on my PG depth chart.

I was able to pick him up off the waiver wire as he went under everyone's radar during the draft. Hope he keeps it up! Any thoughts on TJ Ford?
