Patty Mills The shorter of the two Aussies playing for the Spurs now does more than just towel wave. He’s become a dynamite three point shooter who can also score in bunches in the Spurs’ vaunted offense, as Gregg Popovich employs Mills as a gunner off the bench who can

  Another week down, another week of trawling the waiver wire for cheap alternatives to the usual fantasy basketball options. James Johnson I love James Johnson’s fantasy game, especially in roto leagues and as far as nicknames goes, his is among the best in the NBA. He’s made a name
