When I’m saying stick local, I mean read the beat writers and others who are around the teams each day. The columnists aren’t. So the guys you mention will not help you, but Reiss, Breer, etc will…

while I do agree with Bruce and what he said about national coverage: >>>>>

“National sports columnists and commentators are useless. If you’re knowledgeable about your local team, they will add absolutely nothing of value to your knowledge base. They’re a waste of time.”

I must say that if you are, “knowledgeable about your local team” the LOCAL guys are also useless and a waste of time. I mean really, does reading/listening to Shank Shaugnessy,Tony Mazz, Felger etc. etc. etc. make you more knowledgeable?…..they may be a little more accurate than the national guys when it comes to certain things but they offer little. Watch the games and make your own judgements. They’ll be as good as any of the “experts”…..local or otherwise

It’s not hard to see what Shelden Williams does well.

I knew he could rebound, but did not know he was smart and athletic enough to defend the pick and roll.

He’s listed at 6′9″, but looks shorter on television and still matches up against big guys.

He’s basically the perfect role player for an NBA bench.
