Season to Date: 6-3
Kiddie Pool (shallow): Ersan Ilyasova (F), MIL
Let the Oden/Durant sweepstakes begin! They have already begun in earnest in Milwaukee, where the Bucks are being completely shameless in their late-season tanking efforts. First they bench Michael Redd for 8 minutes of the 4th quarter in a game in which he was 14/18 from the field, and then he mysteriously and suddenly missed their latest game with "knee pain." The main beneficiary of this chicanery is Ilyasova, who is getting a big bump in minutes and is also getting a lot of crunch-time looks.
Lake Tahoe (deep): Anderson Varejao (F/C), CLE
The bushy-haired Brazilian is a solid pickup for rebounds, steals, and the occasional block, and he also shoots a high percentage from the field. His minutes have increased as the season goes on, and he has actually been getting more minutes than Zydrunas Ilgauskas of late.
Marianas Trench (super deep): Ike Diogu (F/C), IND
Diogu had a monster game the last time out for the Pacers, and with the constant uncertainty about Jermaine O'Neal's cranky knees, Diogu could be in line for a huge spike in minutes. Hope that Rick Carlisle was impressed with Diogu's last game and plays him another 30 minutes tomorrow.
