That's where I'm at. If CV doesn't want to start, because he's not a team player (ha!), or Monroe is strictly a center, which seems set in stone, then start Maxiell. Start Wilcox I don't care. Where is Wilcox? Is he ever going to be healthy? Where is Jonas!?? *tear* - Jonas!!!!! I’d rather start Maxiell there than Daye. That’s where I’m at.
