Fantasy Hoops Dream Husky Alum-ania
The NBA All-Star Game has come and gone. Now teams are gearing up for a final run into the post-season. The Fantasy Hoops Husky Dream Team is making a push up the standings too. While some of the veterans and young guns continue to ride the pine, the big guns have been at their best.
Ray ‘He Got Game’ Allen was the only former Husky Hero who made the All-Star team this year. Allen is averaging eighteen points a game for the first place Boston Celtics. He is also on pace to pass Larry ‘Legend’ Bird on the Celtics consecutive free throws made list.
Richard ‘Rip’ Hamilton didn’t make the All-Star team this year due to injuries early in the season. Hamilton has returned to All-Star from as he has adjusted to his new role as the sixth man for the Detroit Pistons.
Caron ‘the’ Butler also missed out on the All-Star festivities this year, most likely due to the poop performance of his Washington Wizards. Butler continues to be a stat-sheet stuffer, averaging 20.4 points, 6.3 rebounds and 4.4 assists.
Emeka Okafor and Ben ‘Big Game’ Gordon have been borderline All-Stars during their careers. They both are playing their best ball as they have bounced back from sup-bar seasons a year ago. Gordon has his scoring average back over 20 points a game while Okafor pulls down a double double nightly. Both the improving Charlotte Bobcats and underachieving Chicago Bulls are on the outside of the playoffs looking in.
Potential future All-Stars Charlie ‘Says Love My Good And Plenty’ Villanueva and Rudy ‘Good To Be’ Gay have continued to prove themselves as top flight players in the league. Villanueva is single-handily keeping his injury-plagued Milwaukee Bucks in playoff position. Gay’s young Memphis Grizzlies continue to struggle.
Josh Boone and Marcus Williams continue to disappoint while Hilton ‘Towers’ Armstrong continues to be a nice role player for the New Orleans Hornets. Boone has lost his starting job to rookie sensation Brooks Lopez in New Jersey, while Williams has never made his way into the rotation in Golden State.
Old veterans Donyell Marshall, Kevin Ollie and Jake ‘The Snake’ Voskuhl play sparingly for the Philadelphia 76ers, Minnesota Timberwolves and the Toronto Raptors.
