Comments on: This … And Some of That http://www.fantasybasketblog.net/2006/03/23/this-and-some-of-that/ A Fantasy Basketball Blog. Surprise.

He's up to 44/75 after the break (compared to 37/69 before) and if he can keep that up he's a star in the making. Otherwise, he's probably still a star in the making, but we all know how hard it is to win a league with a guy like Baron Davis who aggressively kills you in two categories while dominating in three.

Regular readers of the comments here know that I've been pimping this guy since just before the All Star break. He's posted decent numbers playing out of position at the 2 for most of the year. But it's been my contention that if he does get the chance to play his natural position at the point, he would put up Chris Paul-like numbers. Just check out his average stat line in the two games earlier this week when he took over at the 1 for an injured Brevin Knight: 23/7/11.5 with 2 3PM and 3 steals. One only wonders what kind of seasonal averages he might have put up had Charlotte given him the same opportunity that the Hornets gave Paul. Given that Felton is clearly the Bobcats' point guard of the future, do they opt to put the ball in his hands for the rest of this season? Or, do they play out the string with Brevin at the point even though they are going nowhere this year and Knight will likely be employed elsewhere next season? Obviously, if it's the first option, Felton could wind up being a real difference maker in the fantasy playoffs. And what about Raymond Felton?

I picked him up today in favor of Jumaine Jones. I wanna see how Darko performs tomorrow night and if it seems like last night was a fluke I'll probably get Jones back off waivers. Jumaine Jones really only helps in 3's and Darko really only helps in blocks, so I suppose Darko is the better bet since Jumaine Jones showed last night that even with 50 minutes he can't do better than 17-6 (which are good numbers... but 50 minutes? Come on). I like Jones and I like Milicic, I think I'll be happy either way.
