Weekend Waiver Wire Watch Week 15

Down goes one superstar. CP3 is likely to miss at least a month due to knee surgery. With the season already lost for the Hornets, Paul won't rush back. This makes way for Darren Collison as he headlines this week's waiver wire watch:

Guards-

1) Darren Collison (NOR)- If you're reading this right now, STOP! and go see if he's avaible in your league, and pick up Collison. DC showed what he can do in the starting position putting up 18 dimes Saturday night. He also did this earlier in the season when CP3 missed time with another injury. He'll be solid the rest of the way, or until CP3 comes back, which won't be anytime soon.

2) Marcus Thornton (NOR)- Collison's fellow teammate, and backcourt rookie starter, is also in the starting lineup. The trade of Devin Brown last week cleared the way for Thornton to pick up starter's minutes. He's a great source for points, 3ptrs, and some steals. It seems as though the Hornets are already preparing for the future and the former LSU star is a piece of that puzzle.

3) George Hill (SAS)- Hill's a late addition to this list, but if he's not picked up in your league, grab him now. Tony Parker "Longoria" is going to miss a couple weeks and Hill has proved he can provide solid court leadership. His numbers aren't astounding, but solid enough to be worthy of a spot in a 12-team league.

Forwards-

1) Brandon Rush (IND)- Rush is technically starting for the Pacers at shooting guard, but has forward eligibility is almost every league out there. Rush struggled early in the season, but seems like he's getting more comfortable as the season goes on. This is not to say he'll be consistent, but Jim O'Brien seems to have confidence in the young man, so keep an eye out on his numbers.

2) Hakim Warrick (MIL)- Warrick doesn't do much outside of scoring and rebounds, but his numbers when he plays more than 25 minutes a game gives him value. However, getting these minutes is a big key. In the 6 games in January Warrick played more than 25 minutes, he's averaged about 16 ppg and 6.3 rpg. Let's just hope he keeps receiving minutes off the bench.

3) Jonas Jerekbo (DET)- Jerekbo was moved back into the starting lineup the last game against the Magic and he displayed why he should stay there (16 pts & 9 reb). As long as he's in the starting lineup, the rookie has value.

Centers-

1) Nazr Mohammed (CHA)- Even with Tyson Chandler out, Mohammed hasn't been receiving the bulk of the minutes. Not sure as to why, with the Bobcats limited on big men. However, he's still the starting center and is a serviceable center that you can plug in for spot starts.

2) Craig Smith (LAC)- Smith has been balling in the month of January off the bench and could be seeing more minutes as the Clippers have seemed to hit that injury point in the season where their veterans are starting to break down with injuries. Kaman hasn't been as reliable as he was at the beginning of the season, and Camby...well he's still Marcus Camby.

Good luck this week!!
