Basketball blog follows unlikely odyssey of Shavlik Randolph

If you read the whole davesez blog I have been probably the biggest shav supporter on there the entire time. I am not "claiming" to be a big shav fan I always have been. Even when he wasnt putting up numbers at duke I always defended him. So I deserve those tickets gosh darn it!!! Hopefully if it really is Billy King he will see I basically started the turn around of all the negative posting. And I just like Billy King have always believed in Big ShavRan and hope he continues to have a roll on the sixers

The boy is for real. He's starting to get minutes because he can actually deal with the peel. He moves well away from the ball and gets himself in good postion in the post for offensive and defensive rebounds. One thing that would help solidify his post presence would be to add strength 'cause he definitely can handle the rock in an intelligent fashion, particularly in the post.

Shav is easily one of the best players I've ever seen. He has had unlucky breaks with injurys but when healthy and put into an environment where he can play the finese style of ball, he can score at will and step up on the defensive end. He is still very young and is going to excell the next few years.

What is this player's current status?

Is he hurt? He's not playing. Could it be that with Billy King gone, so is Shav's meal ticket?
