Brandan Wright : A great all-around player with the speed, accuracy and power to be the next great basketball legend.

Kings, Warriors light it up

One of the more remarkable stat lines I've seen all season belongs to Anthony Randolph, who had 17 points and 10 rebounds Wednesday night against the Kings. Randolph was 7-for-9 shooting from the floor and 3-for-3 from the line. Those numbers are pretty good for a rookie, right? Well, get this: He played only 19 minutes.

In fact, Randolph is averaging a double-double in his past five games while seeing just 28.6 minutes per game. Of course, the way Don Nelson yanks around Randolph's minutes has become a hot topic (just check out Bill Simmons' recent mailbag for more on this front), and rightly so. Randolph's player efficiency rating (PER) is currently 16.90, which ranks third on the team behind Andris Biedrins (hurt) and Brandan Wright (also getting his minutes yanked around, also hurt).

Sadly, the reason Randolph played only 19 minutes in an overtime game against the Kings is simple: fouls. He picked up five of them. You can't stay on the floor when you're picking up fouls at a rate like that. He's averaging 6.25 fouls per 48 minutes on the season. There's nobody fouling that much who's playing more than 25 minutes per game on average, so you certainly can't complain about the 28.6 minutes per game Randolph is averaging of late.

Or can you? Based on efficiency, Randolph, again, is currently the third-best player on the team, and the guys who are better are hurt and play pretty much the same position as he does. It would seem to me that the best way to teach a guy not to foul would be to allow him to play through his mistakes and foul out once in a while. For all his trouble fouling, Randolph has been tossed for it only once all season, and that was in a victory against the Mavericks.

The bottom line is, Randolph can play, and with averages of 11.6 points, 10.2 rebounds, 2.4 blocks and 1.2 steals in his past five games, he's certainly worth playing in most fantasy leagues. It seems as though Nellie is actually trying to give him some minutes, and if Randolph can figure out this fouling issue, he might just help you win your league in the next couple of weeks.

Under the Boards

The Kings-Warriors contest in Oakland was, of course, a shootout. I'll let you look over at the sidebar to see the main culprits, but Francisco Garcia's line of 22 points (three 3-pointers), four rebounds, five assists, three steals and two blocks is exactly the kind of well-rounded production that makes him such a special fantasy player right now. c Julian Wright saw some big minutes (35, to be exact) for the Hornets against the Clippers and had 18 points (8-for-13 from the floor), nine rebounds, three assists and two steals to show for it. Not bad for a guy owned in less than one percent of ESPN.com fantasy leagues. c Ray Allen salvaged a terrible game in regulation, knocked down a bunch of 3s in two overtimes, and came out with an OK-looking fantasy line in a win. He's really been shockingly great all season in terms of fantasy, which is not what most of us thought would happen. Ramon Sessions had a triple-double last night for the Bucks in their loss to the Lakers. We might be about to see another tantalizing late-season run from Sessions, who has been playing pretty well of late. He should at least be a good source of points and assists (and rebounds from the point guard spot) the rest of the way. c You can probably just shut down Allen Iverson in fantasy the rest of the way. His four points on 1-for-8 shooting from the floor against the Nets, coupled with his comments about not being 100 percent right now and wanting to retire if he can't get a starting role next season leave me feeling that his relevance for fantasy owners this season is probably over. I hope this isn't the end of the line for A.I. He doesn't deserve to go out this way.
