Samuel Dalembert started in place of Larry Sanders, who was out with an illness, and went off for 14 points, 13 rebounds and four blocks on 6-of-9 shooting Wednesday. It's nice to know he can still play. He's been pretty quiet this season, but also had 12 points, 10 boards and three blocks on Tuesday, when Larry was sitting due to foul trouble. Sanders is still the man to own here, but you have to think Jim Boylan has noticed what Sammy's done in his last two games. Owners of Sanders have to hope the two don't start sharing time, while Dalembert should be watched closely once Sanders is back in action.

Samuel Dalembert had 12 points, 10 rebounds and three blocks in 21 minutes on Tuesday. Say hello to Sammy's first double-double of the season. It came on a night that saw the Bucks destroy the Pistons, while starting center Larry Sanders was in foul trouble early and often in this one. This is a sign that we should start keeping an eye on Dalembert going forward, but that's it. He's still not worth owning as of now.

Samuel Dalembert, who played two minutes on Wednesday, is hoping for an increased role under new coach Jim Boylan. Dalembert hadn't played since December 12 before Wednesday. "Everybody in the league knows what I'm capable of doing and I've been around," he said. On a one-year contract, Dalembert is someone who could surface in trade rumors as he's buried on Milwaukee's bench, saying "if it's not working for either one of us, we'll communicate about it and find a solution."

Samuel Dalembert started with Larry Sanders out with the flu on Wednesday, finishing with five points, nine rebounds and two blocks in a win over the Kings. As long as Sanders is healthy, it looks like Dalembert will be buried on the bench, so just leave him on waivers for now.

Samuel Dalembert says he expected to have a larger role for the Bucks this season. Dalembert told HoopsWorld regarding his playing time, "It's not working." The former Sixer is averaging 6.2 points and 4.7 rebounds in a shade under 17 minutes per game and has picked up two DNP-CDs in the past week. Coach Scott Skiles is apparently not that big of a fan and fantasy owners shouldn't be either. Leave him on the waiver wire.

Samuel Dalembert picked up another DNP-CD on Saturday. This time there's no word of detrimental conduct, and it's quite possible Scott Skiles simply didn't see him as an effective option vs. Kevin Garnett and the Celtics. Ekpe Udoh was unremarkable in a start at center and it's possible Sammy could return to the starting five on Monday vs. New Orleans, but we wouldn't bet on it.

Samuel Dalembert will be the starting center on Monday against the Bulls. Dalembert had been benched for being late to the Bradley Center on Saturday, but after a one-game showing for Joel Przybilla as the starting center, Dalembert will get his regular job back. Despite starting 10 games this year, Dalembert is averaging just under 17.5 minutes per game.

Updating a previous item, Samuel Dalembert did not start at center on Saturday because he "didn't arrive at the BMO Bradley Center at the proper time." This would help to explain why Joel Przybilla got the nod, though it still doesn't explain why Scott Skiles is limiting Sammy D's minutes. Regardless, owners in most formats can find a more appealing option than Dalembert.

Samuel Dalembert said "nobody told me nothing" when asked why he has lost his role as the starting center. "I didn't know," he said. "How do you think the reaction would be? It was surprising. This is what it is." Sammy D does not sound happy, and we don't blame him considering he's losing time to an ineffective Joel Przybilla. Dalembert has played limited minutes all season (17 per game), averaging 7.7 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.0 blocks on 66 percent shooting.

Samuel Dalembert went from being the Bucks' starting center to racking up a DNP-CD on Saturday. Dalembert wasn't sure why he was benched, and Scott Skiles wasn't about to explain himself, as usual. There may not be a more frustrating coach in the NBA, and all we can do is wait to see what happens in Monday's rematch vs. the Bulls.
