C Tiers The centers wrap up our five part series on fantasy tiers. Yesterday we looked at power forwards, a much deeper position. In fact, we “borrowed” a few PF with C eligibility to make this list more respectable. Point guards, shooting guards and small forwards were ranked previously. Default position settings (those used in a majority of leagues) are PG, SG, G, SF, PF, F, C, C, Util, Util, with three Bench spots. That second center spot can be a revolving door all season, even in

Sometimes, asking players thought-provoking questions such as “Who do you think will win it all for the upcoming season?”, or “Who is the best player of all time?” can get us through a day, if the answers are interesting.

Hamilton: Nets and Knicks Are Evenly Matched

by

NEW YORK — Since Mikhail Prokhorov and Jay-Z became the faces of the Brooklyn Nets, the objectives of their mission have been made abundantly clear: Become relevant, move to Brooklyn, be better than the Knicks, steal the market. General manager Billy King made the deals and Prokhorov wrote the checks. The Nets embarked on an unprecedented spending spree this past summer and not only retained Deron Williams, but also surround him with some capable talent. Clearly, they are relevant. And yes, they are
