So he's going to certainly play until the end of the year unless he's actually injured. His production shouldn't be impacted much by the Bogut/Villanueva injuries - as we've discussed earlier this year, Bogut didn't have much of a role in the offense, and villanueva's been in and out regardless. I think that like Ilyasova and the rest of the bucks, mo will be just steady unless Redd sits near the end of the year. Moore vs Skinner? Depends what you need - as JM points out, we're really getting to the nitty-gritty herein terms of categories. Need points? Go Moore. Boards? Skinner. JM, i'd go for gooden, for exactly the reasons you point out. if that shooting slump happens, you may just have to live with it. mo williams…well, he’s a free agent this summer (as is charlie bell and, in all likelihood, earl boykins).

I'm wondering if you think he's a better fit for me then Gooden (who's also available). I'm looking to make a run in rebs,stls (and hold steady on FG%). I don't really care about blks and I don't need another C-eligible player. (already have Jefferson,Biedrins,Aldridge) Gooden averages fewer minutes then Skinner, but gets better stls and a similar amount of rebs (most nights). Based on that, I should get Gooden. However, his major problem he's prone to shooting slumps (and he plays less than 30 min/g) Any thoughts on Skinner vs Gooden? I picked up Skinner after news that Bogut would shut it down.

I was thinking with Bogut and Villaneuva out, he'd start picking up the scoring, but he's hasn't been all that impressive for a few weeks. Are Bell, Boykins, and others going to cut in on his productivity? What’s the outlook on Mo Williams?
