It seems Coach Hill has decided he wants the Sonics playing more defense, which would explain Watson and Gelabale replacing Ridnour and Wilkins in the starting line-up. While Gelabale will certainly lose his place to Lewis (or Wilkins), if Watson can hold on to the point guard spot, he would be very intriguing. It seems to be with 30+ minutes he'd almost be a lock for 1.5 3s/steals, with 6-7 assists, which isn't half bad, though his FT% would be quite low for a point guard.

Only worry, is that the Bucks are SO banged up (Redd,Vilanueva,Mo Williams) that Ruben may have to carry too much of the burden, thus leading to more diffficult shots and a drop in FG% as well as more FT attempts...these impacts would counteract the increase in his other stats. I mainly want him for his FG% and stls and am hoping that can keep his excellent contributions in those two cats without hurting me too much elsewhere. I'm thinking of dropping Mourning for him actually...as I don't need the blocks, and am guessing he won't be doing much else with Shaq back.

The fact that such huge, counterintuitive differences exist between the actual fantasy value of a player and the value perceived by both fantasy beginners (who think Shaq must obviously be very valuable) and experts (who, like you, figured that at this point he must be worthless) is what makes fantasy hoops the best fantasy sport. What are your updated thoughts on dropping Villanueva? Latest news is that he'll be re-evaulated for his shoulder problem in a week. He played well at the very beginning of the year, but it's hard to gauge what value even a perfectly healthy CV would have. How would you rate him next to possible free agent pickups like May, Mo-Pete, Damien Wilkins, Garbajosa? This stuff is always interesting.

So, if you count TOs, shaq's high TO may not be that big of a concern...
