I don't know about the rest of you, but when i'm checking box scores I often forget that our guy Mark Williams is also on Charlotte and is the backup center behind Plumlee. Based on his stats, it looks like he's playing well. He had 7 points and 8 boards in just 16 min last night. He's averaging 6 and 6 in just 13 min per game for the season. Not bad for a kid who just turned 21.

Williams spent much of the early part of the season in the G-League. But when Nick Richards got hurt Charlotte gave Williams a chance and he took it. Now Richards is healthy and they have to decide how to manage minutes at the 5 between Plumlee, Williams and Richards. Charlotte is pretty close to being out of the playoff hunt and they might decide to shop Plumlee and let Williams and Richards figure it out. Something to watch.

I don't know man... if I'm the GM and I'm looking at three players at the same position and two are Duke guys and one is a Kentucky guy.... the Kentucky guy is the one on the trading block ten times outta ten. ;-)

Gary Trent is one guy who I didn't see excelling in the NBA the way he is. Great to see him work at his game and do so well!

Orlando seems like it will be very interesting to watch going forward. Lots of young talent with the Duke guys, Franz and Mo Wagner, etc. Having Wendell, Mo Wagner, Mo Bamba, and Bol Bol seems like opportunity to trade to fill some holes. And at PG... Markelle Fultz, Cole Anthony, and RJ Hampton. They just need one of those talented guys to turn into a top 15 PG in the league and they'll be tough to beat.

Would love to see Paolo and Wendell start consistently leading this team to the playoffs. Would be cool if they'd get a little more national coverage of their games as well. I want to see more than Sportscenter highlights of those guys.
