not really. birdman's a bench big. he won't be getting that much floor time with billups, and i don't think billups will increase his stats that much.

for fantasy purposes (i assume this is what the threads directed at) - i expect around what he did in 04-05 for the hornets. 7/6 on good percentages in 20mpg.

He's not an offensive player. He pretty much just scores what he scraps from offensive boards or loose balls. Occasionally he will get a pass inside, but counting on anything more than 6ppg is wishful thinking. He will get you blocks and boards though.

I think he will benefit from playing with Billups. He moves without the ball pretty well, but without a PG that gives him the ball, he wouldn't score. He has pretty good hands. We're already seeing KMart benefiting from playing with CB... KMart is really the typical big man who can score only with a good PG, e.g. Tyson Chandler with CP3.

CB is the best PG he's had since JKidd in New Jersey... and I think Birdman is similar to KMart in that he needs a good PG that can get him the ball to score.
