I have to put in my 2 cents on this one.

I have to go with Sinatra and put Antoine behind Marbury, Iverson &
Kittles, although he has stepped up his game in the past couple of weeks
and shows a lot of promise.

I have to agree with Adam on this one.  We could lose him, look what Chris
Childs got last year & wasn't he one year removed from the CBA ?

Mixed opinion on this one.  Fox is to slow and doesn't have a consistent
outside shot for a 2 guard.  I would definitely put him in the average
category.  Although he is actually a decent value for a role player based
on the current salaries.
