Francisco Franco's soccer-loving nephew? As far as reasons to root for CSKA go, Dzagoev is just the start. Igor Akinfeev might just be the best goalkeeper in the world under the age of 25, Pavel Mamaev is another really exciting young player, and they have identical twins playing right next to each other in central defense!

History plays a role, obviously, but to say that Chelsea's not as big a club as Spurs, let alone Newcastle and Leeds? I'd have to strongly disagree with whatever criteria you're using to determine which clubs are "big."

Once he falls off, they'll have to manage things carefully to stay in playoff territory. I say as long as Duncan's good and healthy, the Spurs are plenty dangerous if the matchups go their way in the playoffs. Though they will probably need someone to knock off the Lakers for them.

The Euro stats are not impressive, and the NBA is a higher level of competition. I've seen too many kids fail to adjust to the league, the length of the season, or the sudden wealth to get very excited after just a few games.

What he can't be any more is the first offensive option for a winning team. It's not clear he can adapt his game to be effective playing any other way. So the Memphis coach thought it would make sense for him to come off the bench, and be the first option while the bench players were in the game. If he had done that and been good at it, his minutes would have expanded. So it does matter whether he starts or comes off the bench, because coming off the bench he can be AI for 20 minutes a game, and I don't think he can play any other way. Of course he can start.

What if he played 30 mpg for a team that's weak at shooting guard? According to 82games, he was about a net average last year. I guess it depends on the options a team has, but I think he could start in the right situation. You think he can still play, you said, but does it matter whether he starts or comes off the bench?
