As far as worst picks, Christian Wood is averaging 12.1 points a game. He's been dramatically better since three DNP's early in the year and since recovering from mono and a broken finger, he's found a spot in the regular rotation and is now a regular contributor who sometimes pulls in 20 a game for me.

This year he was a bad pick -- especially when considering that my next pick was going to be either Jordan Loveridge or Elijah Pittman (who is now suspended) -- but next year he'll be a really good swingman at 6'11.

Okay so someone clarify this for me, as I'm just now finally able to get to a computer and find a potential replacement for Joe Harris, who exited last game with a concussion. I fully expect him to be back at some point this week, but in case he doesn't I need to pick a replacement.

It needs to be from the same conference (ACC), and less FPPG (Harris had 17.6) than Harris, correct?

Joe Harris has 11 points in the first half tonight against Wake, so sort of bittersweet news for you.

Keith Frazier was a horrible pick by me..mainly because a) he's a bench player who rarely plays full min and b) SMU never plays any fucking games/gets games postponed.

Haha, definitely bittersweet, then.

While Virginia is typically a Dick Bennett-era Wisconsin-style team that tallies football scores, I'm really surprised by Joe Harris' low point totals. His points-a-game average is down by almost 7. A lot of that is due to struggles from the field, where Harris is shooting in the mid-30s from 3, compared to almost 43 percent a season ago. Sort of baffling to me that he's regressed as much as he has.

D.J. Covington with 46.
James Young with 50 thus far in the game.

Decent start to the evening.

For the record S&L, doenst have to be from same conference. Just same position (unless he is a UTL, then it can be any position/UTL) and less FPPG

Had a couple of nice games the last 2 days. Perry got me 43 on Tuesday and then last night Desmar Jackson netted 53 and Walt Lemon had 34. Kadeem Coleby even came through with a huge game of 14 points! Currently at 200.75 after 7 games. Pretty decent start.

Good start indeed. Although it's all moot as mulva will win again.

I'm at 125 through 6 games

Lol probably but after 7 games he is only at 195.75. Although his WC hasn't played yet, thankfully he only has 1 game this week(next week will suck when ULL has 3 games).

Great, Eric Myka for BYU isn't playing tonight. Fucking great!

He'll probably be back for this weekend, I'm guessing

Should I pick someone who hasn't played yet tonight to replace him just in case?
