his second pro fight for a vacant featherweight belt in 2014 and lost a split decision. Arum said he spoke to Salidos camp before the fight about doing a

Working the waiver wire and sifting through free agency is crucial to succeeding in fantasy basketball. With so many games, injuries and endless rotation shifts throughout the marathon NBA season, we need to source stats from free agency in order to maximize our imaginary rosters.In this weekly series, we identify players available in more than half of ESPN leagues at each position. Some nominations are purely specialists capable of helping in one or two categories, while others deliver more diverse and important statistical offerings. Either way, we believe the names below -- ordered by descending ownership rates in ESPN leagues at each position -- can contribute positively to fantasy rosters.Point GuardTim Frazier, New Orleans Pelicans (Owned in 48.5 percent of ESPN leagues at press time): As the starting point guard in the Big Easy as?Jrue Holiday attends to a family health scenario, we find Frazier third in the NBA in passes and frontcourt touches per game and sixth in assists. Even upon Holidays eventual return, we expect Frazier to sustain around 25 minutes per game as the teams complementary distributor.Ty Lawson, Sacramento Kings (18.9): Another substitute starter to consider, Lawson is a fine rental until Darren Collison returns from an eight-game suspension. The Kings lead the league with five games this coming week, and Lawson rates eighth in the league in dimes per game, so this could be a strong stretch of passing production.Sergio Rodriguez, Philadelphia 76ers (10.7): With Jerryd Bayless expected to miss multiple weeks with a wrist ailment, this Spanish vet is averaging 30.5 minutes per game and ranks fifth in frontcourt touches per game as the teams ball-dominant distributor.J.J. Barea, Dallas Mavericks (7.2): Afforded 34 minutes per game as the lead distributor of Dallas second unit and also as a key complementary shooter -- hes lofted 27 shots and 10 3-pointers through two games -- Barea is a fine utility option in deeper leagues.Shooting GuardWill Barton, Denver Nuggets (42.0): Its essentially déjà vu as Barton was widely available early last season as the teams top backcourt scoring option. With 38 minutes and 12.5 shots per game to go along with the leagues most amazing headshot on his player profile, Barton is again a top fantasy free agent.Justise Winslow, Miami Heat (39.5): While shooting just 37.9 percent from the field is a bit troubling, its also nice to see Winslow lofting 14.5 shots along with 33 minutes per game for the Heat. With real upside as a defensive asset and quality rebounding resource at a thin shooting guard position, Winslow is a strong early addition to target.Sean Kilpatrick, Brooklyn Nets (1.3): With at least 13 points in each game thanks to lofting 12 3-point attempts and 33 field goal attempts overall in the first three outings, its clear Kilpatrick could provide Barton-like support in the scoring department for managers in deeper leagues.Small ForwardT.J. Warren, Phoenix Suns (21.7): We love minutes first and foremost when sifting for free agents, as increased exposure is the key to earning consistent opportunities. Warren is sixth in the NBA so far in minutes, averaging a robust 38.5 after having led the Suns in minutes in the preseason. A gifted natural scorer with a steady midrange game, Warren is a must-add early this season.Wilson Chandler, Denver Nuggets (7.7): Whenever we find a player averaging 30 minutes and double-digit field goal attempts, we should take notice. Chandler is doing just that, while he also has a strong history in steals, blocks and 3-point production.James Ennis, Memphis Grizzlies (4.0): A 3-and-D asset earning steady minutes (27.5 per game) for a Memphis team seeking to pick up the pace this season, Ennis could prove reminiscent of the valuable production James Posey once provided for the Grizzlies.Andre Roberson, Oklahoma City Thunder (3.2): Best used as an option in deeper leagues (as in at least 12 teams), we like that Roberson is averaging 9 boards, 36 minutes and an elite 3.5 steals per game.Power ForwardMarcus Morris, Detroit Pistons (37.9): Just like Phoenixs Warren, Morris a player driven by a strong exposure rate: He was 12th in the league last year with 35.7 minutes per game and is now seeing 30.5 per night for the Pistons. With Reggie Jacksons high-usage game sidelined, Morris has averaged 15.5 shots so far, helping buoy a high floor for this widely available stretch big.Taj Gibson, Chicago Bulls (21.9): While hes yet to record a swat this season, Gibson has averaged at 1.3 blocks over his career and has never dipped below 1.1 per game in a season. In a new-look frontcourt affording him steady minutes, Gibson can help with boards and blocks.JaMychal Green, Memphis Grizzlies (13.2): Like Ennis, Green is seeing steady minutes as a complementary forward for Memphis. With a strong rebounding rate and freedom to shoot from beyond the arc, Green merits increased attention as a fantasy commodity.Trevor Booker, Brooklyn Nets (8.3): Brooklyns thin roster means a steady vet like Booker could earn meaningful minutes throughout the season. The sixth-year Clemson product has enjoyed his role as the teams garbage man so far, cleaning up the boards to the tune of 10.7 rebounds per game to go with helpful steals and shooting percentages.CenterClint Capela, Houston Rockets (38.8): Well eventually see some awesome block production emerge from Capela given the increased exposure and usage were seeing for the third-year pivot. As the rim protector on a team likely to challenge for the league lead in pace, Capela could enjoy really nice numbers at a scarce center position.Tyson Chandler, Phoenix Suns (11.4): As long as hes healthy and averaging 30 minutes -- which he is at the moment -- Chandler offers elite shooting from the field and strong rebounding rates.Justin Hamilton, Brooklyn Nets (6.0): A stretch center averaging 28 minutes, six shots from 3-point range along with a block and a steal per game, Hamilton is another asset on Brooklyn enjoying a quietly strong start to the season.

Tramon Williams Super Bowl Jersey . Vokoun departed practice on Saturday morning after discovering swelling in his thigh. He was taken to a local hospital where the clot was revealed. The club announced the surgery following a 5-3 exhibition loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets. Junior lightweight titlist Vasyl Lomachenko did what he usually does: He made it look easy in the ring.Lomachenko put on a masterpiece against Nicholas Walters, toying with him for seven one-sided rounds before making him abruptly quit Saturday night at The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas.Walters is a good fighter, Lomachenko said through a translator. Hes really strong, but I think he just stood there, which made it easy for me to win.The fight was the main event of the 2,000th card promoted by Top Ranks Bob Arum, the Hall of Famer who is celebrating his 50th anniversary as a promoter this year. Arum has been Lomachenkos biggest fan since signing him out of the 2012 Olympics, in which Lomachenko won the second of his back-to-back gold medals for Ukraine.Leading up to the fight with Walters, Arum said Lomachenko is technically the best fighter that I have seen since the early Muhammad Ali.Arum promoted 27 of Alis fights, as well as those of many other all-time greats, such as Floyd Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao, Oscar De La Hoya, George Foreman, Sugar Ray Leonard, Thomas Hearns, Roberto Duran, Marvin Hagler and Alexis Arguello.After Lomachenkos easy disposal of Walters, Arum stuck by his assessment and said he was not surprised how easily Lomachenko won.I wasnt surprised all, Arum said. I have been his biggest cheerleader from the beginning, sometimes obnoxiously. Hes great. Anybody who loves boxing has to love this kid and the way he performs. If people watch him perform, they will start to love boxing again. Hes better than these regular fighters. He has such special talent that weve never seen anything like it.Walters said electing not to continue was the right decision.It wasnt about quitting, Walters said. If you look at the last round, he caught me with some pretty good shots, and I was holding on just to survive the round. It would be stupid to come out ?after that last round.Lomachenko, 28, is considered by many to be the greatest amateur boxer in history, going 396-1 in the unpaid ranks, with the single loss avenged multiple times. A southpaw,?he was making the first defense of the title he won by a blistering, highlight-reel, fifth-round knockout of Roman Rocky Martinez in June.Lomachenko-Walters was a fight that had been anticipated for more than a year, since both were featherweight titleholders, and it was expected to be a competitive showdown between a gifted technician (Lomachenko) and a power puncher (Axe Man Walters).But it was not that. Not even close.Instead, Lomachenko played with Walters like a cat would a mouse. He negated Walters strong right hand, befuddled him and frustrated him.All the while, Lomachenko peppered Walters with a two-handed attack.Its not about being just strong or being just fast. A lot of things take place, Lomachenko said. Youve got to train, and you have to be highly functional in the ring. So all those things are a combination of what makes me good.Lomachenko stuffed jabs in Walters face and tagged him with straight left hands. Walters never got off any big shots; he was unable to cope with Lomachenkos speed and lateral movement. He simply had no answers for Lomachenko.Lomachenko grew more comfortable with Walters as the rounds went by and really began to open up on offense in the seventh round. Lomachenko pounded Walters with a pair of clean right hands midway through the round and then rocked his head back with a straight left hand.Lomachenko (7-1, 5 KOs) continued to pick up the pace and was lashing Walters as the round wound down. Still, Walters had not been knocked down, he was not cut and did not appear to be hurt. Yet, when referee Tony Weeks went to his corner to check on him after the seventh round, Walters trainer Celso Chavez, told him, No mas.ddddddddddddWhen Weeks asked Walters (26-1-1, 21 KOs), 30, of Jamaica, directly if he wanted to continue, he said, No. Weeks waved off the fight, bringing the much-anticipated bout to an abrupt and wholly unexpected conclusion.Nicholas could not get his punches in on Lomachenko. He was unable to do it, Job Walters, the fighters father and assistant trainer said.Arum said Nicholas Walters told him in the ring after the fight that a left hand to the temple area really hurt him in the seventh round.He told me he was going to get knocked out. He said he got really hurt, Arum said.According to CompuBox punch statistics, Lomachenko landed 114 of 437 punches (26 percent). Walters landed 49 of 264 (19 percent), and none of them appeared to be clean.Walters, who had not boxed in 11 months while holding out for the best deal he could get for Lomachenko -- a career-high guarantee of $550,000 to Lomachenkos first $1 million purse -- sounded as though he was blaming his self-inflicted layoff for his poor performance.Almost a year without fighting. I went up in weight, Walters said. He was more active. So if you watch the fight, you see hes been scoring more than I do. My good shots, they are not connecting. Hes connecting more clearly than I am touching him. In the last round, he started catching me more and more. Hes a good fighter.Walters was stripped of his featherweight belt in June 2015 for missing weight against Miguel Marriaga, and he moved up to face Jason Sosa last December, fighting him to a heavily disputed draw that most saw Walters winning easily. Walters could have faced Lomachenko in June but declined the offer, and Lomachenko took a title off Martinez instead.By beating Martinez, Lomachenko set a boxing record by becoming the only fighter to win world titles in two weight classes by his seventh fight. He won his first world title in his third fight, tying the record for fewest bouts needed to claim a title.Next up, he said he would like to be the fastest to unify titles, calling out fellow titleholder Francisco Vargas (23-0-2, 17 KOs), a 31-year-old former Mexican Olympian.I want Vargas, Lomachenko said.Arum said he would be happy to make the fight but said he did not believe that Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya would allow Vargas anywhere near Lomachenko, who would be a massive favorite.If De La Hoya wont let Canelo [Alvarez] fight [Gennady] Golovkin, theres no way in hell hell let Vargas fight Lomachenko, Arum said.Arum said hed like to match Lomachenko in a rematch with former titleholder Orlando Salido, whom Lomachenko faced in his second pro fight for a vacant featherweight belt in 2014 and lost a split decision. Arum said he spoke to Salidos camp before the fight about doing a rematch early next year.Thats unfinished business, Arum said. And then maybe Id take him to England to fight [Terry] Flanagan for his lightweight title. Ive been talking to [Flanagan promoter] Frank [Warren] about it.Beyond that, Arum said he envisions an eventual showdown between Lomachenko and the great Manny Pacquiao at a catch weight of around 138 pounds in late 2017. Arum promotes both fighters and said it is possible.For Lomachenko, revenge against Salido, a third title against Flanagan and a possible victory over Pacquiao would go a long way toward accomplishing his ultimate goal.My goal is to be No. 1 pound for pound, Lomachenko said.After his brilliant display against Walters, he appears to be on his way.
