It looks now like Ramon Sessions is going to get the starting spot over Jonny Flynn. He might have been right about Tyrus Thomas, though, calling him "fantasy kryptonite".

Many NBA players are still peaking at that age. I'd be worried about the fact that he has missed huge chunks of the last two seasons due to injury. It's probably going to take him a while to unearth the old Elton, and we may not ever see him again. Bill Simmons predicted a huge comeback for Brand, and he knows everything, right?

Tough to cut bait on Brand after one game, however. Both Randolph and Green are quality fantasy players. Tough to cut bait on Brand after one game, however.
