Does anyone watch Mem games? What is the deal with R. Gay? He is in foul trouble just about every night. Is he overly agressive on defense? Is he a bad defender and reaching all the time to catch up? Is Mem deep enough that they just set him loose? or does he not understand that you can't play in foul trouble?

Shawne Williams is one of the weirder guys to own in this game. capable of going for 2.5...and now tonight he's in the high 30s.

hopefully J'Oneal sits this week and Williams keeps getting tic, so I can keep him for a week.

Shawne Williams - F - IND

The Indianapolis Star is reporting that Shawne Williams has filed for a restraining order against Rubalamp. This should not have any effect on his fantasy production. If anything, it should let Shawne sleep easier at night and focus on playing the game of basketball. Continue to start him if you need 3s and are in a deep league.

I will be shocked if Shawne Williams keeps this up. This may be a career best game for him. Not only got the start (only the fourth in his career, I think) but also logged pretty heavy minutes for him. He is steadily earning more of the Pacers' confidence, that's for sure, but to expect this kind of production from him consistently right now is a longshot. J.O. almost played tonight, and if he had, you can be sure he would have played at least half the game. Also, Granger was in foul trouble on some very poor officiating in my biased view, so he sat much more than normal. Both of these factors, in addition to Shawne's hot shooting early (and consistently - to give him credit where it's due) led to Shawne getting much more burn than normal. He's a young player and is not nearly as skilled on the defensive end of the floor, which also works against his minutes. I like his upside and offensive potential for the REAL game, but fantasy-wise this season for the Pacers, unless they trade J.O. (which they might) I think there's just too much depth at the wings for Williams to produce consistently. If he's an ultra cheapie he may be worth a filler spot or possible RV train esp. if he can put together another strong game next time, and if you already have him then he's probably worth keeping through his next game anyhow, but my money's on weak production 2 of the next 3 games.

However, with that said, #36 is not far off the mark, Rubalamp. J.O. still is a defensive force both on blocks and charges, and also has cred with the officials, which a lot of our players don't yet. I mean they are calling phantom fouls on Harrison right and left. If we could put J.O. on the court for fewer minutes and teach him a motion offense and get him to run hard up and down the court every possession he would be a big asset - but he seems to be so used to being a post player and he is not nearly as quick with his moves as he used to be. By the time he decides what he's doing with the ball and gets into his move, like 5 seconds have ticked off the clock nearly every time. He's more successful when he catches and goes right away, and then either gets free for a good shot or gets his teamate a good look. His slow, deliberative style simply helps the defense.
He also needs to be spending more time on his shooting in practice. His shot is way off right now most nights. If he could get healthy it would help, but his pencil legs just don't seem to be able to support the physical play of the NBA. I wonder why he doesn't lift more and do more lower body strength work. His knees and calves are just too fragile.

Pacers Rule, for the most part I agree. Yes, we continue to play
JO, but I don't know why, it is clear he is not 100% nor even
close to it. When he is out there we don't run, and when we
don't run, we don't win.

Yes, williams is young and is going to be inconsistent...much
like O'Neal was when the Pacers brought him in about 7 seasons
ago... If he starts getting even 25 minutes a game, I think you
will see him able to consistently put up 25 points.

I am not just talking about fantasy production (though, unless I
get to the point that I have no need for cheapies because my RV
is over 80 mil, he is consistent enough to warrant a position.
From a Pacer fan perspective, JO trade for any young talent
would be an improvement, my newest dream...Would Phoenix
give up Diaw and Barbosa for him? I would take that in a heart
beat...We could outrun the whole league, and probably play
improved Team D...the Suns could start Nash, Hill, Marion,
O'Neal, and Stoudemire...I think both teams improve.

Rubalamp,
I assume you mean 25 tnsp, not 25 pts? In 25 mins? I think 25 minutes could be realistic if he continues to excel. Marquis can be very effective yet he seems very inconsistent on a nightly basis.

Though your trade idea sounds nice on paper, I don't think the salaries come close to matching (not sure if they've got a fat contract they could throw in or not) plus that would totally change the style Phoenix would need to play, and probably that would not work to Marion's advantage. Plus, I don't think Hill can guard many of today's SG's, so that would expose him and the (helping) bigs to lots of fouls. Plus, if J.O. stays minimally healthy, and getting healthy seems unlikely any time soon since they seem to have the need to play him (and he wants to play) before he's healthy - I don't think ANY team is going to want to buy into 20 million a year for an injured 10 point 7 rebound player.

I do think J.O. would make a much better #2 or #3 player at this point in his career. I also think a change of scenery would just plain do him good.

#46 from rotoworld:

Nick Collison left Tuesday's game near the end of the third quarter with an eye injury.
Mouhammed Sene was picked by the Lakers to shoot Collison's free throws and hit 1-of-2. Collison's owners have to hope he didn't suffer a broken orbital on an inadvertant elbow from Kobe Bryant, so check back on Wednesday for an update.

Yes, PR...

I meant 25 tsnp...And yes, O'Neal needs to get healthy before he
is traded, so why keep rushing him back and pulling him out
another couple games, especially when we are WINNING without
him. His value is decreasing by the moment. You are right
about their salaries...JO at 19 mill, and those 2 have just over 14
mill...if either team were really interested, they could tinker out
something, but I realize it is a personal dream trade.

The other thing that may effect Williams value is Diogu's return,
which could come in the next couple weeks...

Ruba,

I do not think Williams warrants total devotion, in terms of your TSN team. Having owned him for 3 weeks, while he hasn't been bad, he's probably been just good enough to hold. I know he's cheap and not bad value, but his price is staying that low because he isn't producing like players like L. Williams, Moon and Udrih have.

In my opinion, there are enough cheap options to expect a little more out of him. However, I do agree with you that given 25 minutes a game, he could become a consistent option.

well honestly after today's game and the recent minutes he's been getting williams would have been a small train if anything ... the reason why he won;t though is because he has like 3-4 games left before a 1 in 7 so he won't be going anywhere until 12/11
that should give sometime for people to evaluate him
