    It might be my homerism speaking, but I picked up JJ Hickson last night after the game instead of Krstic. Hickson’s starting in an offense where he’s going to get easy looks and rebounds alongside LeBron, Shaq, and Mo Williams, and the Cavs have four games next week. When you add that in with him being eligible at SF,PF,C in Yahoo! Leagues, I just couldn’t shake the opportunity to finally own a budding Cavs player.

    That spot on my bench is a revolving door anyway, so if he chokes away the opportunity or starts playing just around 15-20 minutes again instead of 25-30, then it’ll continue to be a revolving door. However for the sake of the Cavs and the sake of my team, I really hope he continues to bloom. He’s kind of like a Boozer/Millsap hybrid to me. Not as good as either of them in their specialties, but does a little bit that each of them can do, and can jump out of the building as well. He just needs to learn to pumpfake sometimes!

    Apologize for the long comment rant. Keep up the good work.

    @generic: No apology necessary – I love reading comments of almost any variety or length.

    I dig your thinking on Hickson. If he continues to start, he’ll be a solid utility player in most leagues. He’s certainly sexier than Krstic.

    I hope he works out for you and your squad.
