2011 NBA Draft Preview

Classifying the NBA draft prospects is no easy task; even those who spend hours in the gym evaluating every aspect of a kid only get it right a fraction of the time. As Fantasy basketball junkies, we want to sift through the fresh talent and decide who are the guys that can produce at the NBA level, who can develop into a stat sheet king, and who will never live up to their labeled potential. Yeah, it does take time for things to shake out, but you can still be smart about it.

Video Game Review: Duke Nukem Forever

More damning than the slow-loading textures, though, is the general lack of variation and detail work in the environments. Having Las Vegas, a location packed with gaudy over-the-top visuals, be one of the game’s primary settings really serves to hammer home just how uninspired the areas are.

The Wire Troll: Dee Gordon Leads the Next Wave of Prospects

The former U of Miami standout has gotten off to a blazing start in Oakland, going 6-for-17 with three runs, a double, two triples, an RBI and a walk in his first five games. Weeks had a decent season at Double-A last year, but he took off in the AFL and has continued that tear with a major breakout year at Triple-A, batting .321 with 30 runs, 10 steals and a fantastic batting eye through 45 games. Grab him while you can in AL-only leagues, as Weeks may very well steal Ellis’ job for good.
