Fantasy Impact

With Arenas out of the top 25 and Paul Pierce hanging onto the 25th spot, I'm happy to see Jason Williams step it up to no. 7 (they're all on my team, if you hadn't guessed). The Grizzlies are playing well right now, so you might want to look at any Memphis FA's in your league. Fratello is not running quite as large a rotation, though, so make sure to check players' last 5 games.

As for the rest, I wouldn't count on Stoudamire to score 99 points every week, nor Nick Van Exel to make 5 treys a game. Lebron, Dirk, Jermaine, Webber and Kidd are all solid players. No surprise there. Larry Hughes is out now - as you can see, a definite unfortunate event for owners who took him late (avg. draft position on ESPN: 73.1) and watched him steal (literally) a position in the top 10 (no. 7 on the season).

And that about wraps it up.

Count it.
