News:The Memphis Flyer reports the Grizzlies have not re-signed swingman Rodney Carney to another 10-day contract. He becomes a free agent after a five game stint with Memphis in which he appeared in just two games, scoring a total of two points in five minutes of action.
Analysis: Carney was brought into Memphis to provide depth for Rudy Gay's stint out of the lineup, but he is still slated out fro another week at least. Either way, Carney wasn't much of a contributor to the Grizzlies' cause or Fantasy owners' for that matter. He should not be on any Fantasy rosters at this time.
News: The Griizlies announced they have swingman Rodney Carney to a 10-day contract, Grizzlies General Manager and Vice President of Basketball Operations Chris Wallace announced Monday. Carney, a former Memphis Tiger, was released by Golden State back in January.
Analysis: Carney averaged 5.0 points, 1.9 rebounds and 0.4 assists in 13.2 minutes for the Warriors in 25 games this season before getting released. He'll act as a stopgap for the injured Rudy Gay, but it remains unclear how minutes he will actually see. Continue to ignore him in all formats heading into Fantasy Week 18 (Feb. 21-27).
News: According to the Memphis Commercial Appeal, the Grizzlies are going to sign forward Rodney Carney to a 10-day contract on Monday. Carney, a former Memphis Tiger, was released by Golden State back in January.
Analysis: Carney averaged 5.0 points, 1.9 rebounds and 0.4 assists in 13.2 minutes for the Warriors in 25 games this season before getting released. Carney was shooting a career-high 46 percent from downtown before they parted ways. He'll act as a stopgap for Rudy Gay, who is likely out a month with a shoulder injury. Carney isn't worth owning in any Fantasy format, despite getting signed. Once Gay returns, he probably won't be needed. His addition to the team could hurt Sam Young's value as well.
News: The Warriors cut SF Rodney Carney on Tuesday.
Analysis: Carney averaged 13.2 minutes, 5.0 points, 1.9 rebounds and 0.4 assists for the Warriors in 25 games, and will now be looking for his fourth team in three seasons. That stat should tell you that Carney is not worth worrying about in Fantasy play at this time.
News: Warriors F Rodney Carney returned to action in Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers after missing the last six contests with a foot injury. He played 19 minutes off the bench and scored 10 points in the 96-95 loss. He went 4 of 6 from the field and made both of his attempts from beyond the arc. Carney also chipped in with three rebounds and a steal in the defeat.
Analysis: Carney can be a good scorer when given enough playing time and showed as much on Saturday night. It was the second time this season he has scored in double figures. However, until his role improves in Golden State, he will continue to have minimal Fantasy value. Leave Carney off rosters heading into Week 9 (Dec. 20-26).
News: Warriors guard Rodney Carney will play in Saturday's game against the Blazers. Carney has missed the previous six games with a foot injury.
Analysis: Carney was thought to be a healthy scratch when Lou Amundson returned from injury Dec. 7, but apparently not. Carney can be a good scorer when given enough playing time, however, that has not been the case this season.
News: Warriors SF Rodney Carney was limited in practice again by a sprained left foot Friday, according to CSNBayArea.com. He has missed six games with the injury and is questionable for Saturday's game at Portland.
Analysis: Carney was thought to be a healthy scratch when Lou Amundson returned from injury Dec. 7, but apparently not. Carney can be a good scorer when given enough playing time, but in his current role, he's not enough of a contributor statistically to factor in Fantasy. Leave him on waivers.
News: Golden State SF Rodney Carney, who had been dealing with a foot injury, was inactive for Tuesday's game at Dallas. He is no longer injured, however. With Lou Amundson returning for the Warriors, NBA.com reports that Carney became a healthy inactive.
Analysis: Carney was averaging 5.2 points and 1.8 rebounds per game over 19 games off the bench this season. Now that Amundson is back it seems he's going to be inactive quite often. He has no Fantasy value at this time.
News: Golden State forward Rodney Carney did not play against Oklahoma City on Sunday. It was a coach's decision to hold him out as he deals with a left foot sprain. He is being considered day to day by the Warriors.
Analysis: Carney is a bench player for the Warriors and averages just 14 minutes per game. Even when healthy he isn't worth using in Fantasy leagues. Leave him on waivers for Week 7 (Dec. 6-12).
News: Warriors SF Rodney Carney missed practice Friday because of a left foot sprain, according to CSNBayArea.com. He's considered day to day.
Analysis: Carney has played a minimal role off the bench this season, averaging just 14.0 minutes per game. He has no Fantasy value in such a role.
News: Warriors SF Rodney Carney scored a season-high 16 points in 20 minutes off the bench Monday against the Nuggets. He shot 7 for 9 from the field and 2 of 3 from 3-point range.
Analysis: Carney didn't have a single rebound or assist, so even if he repeats this performance every game for the rest of this year, he wouldn't have much Fantasy value. Given his inconsistent playing time, he won't come close to doing even that. Leave him for the deepest of leagues.
News: Warriors swingman Rodney Carney got a start in Wednesday's game against the Grizzles with Stephen Curry remaining out due to injury. Carney played 20 minutes and contributed just seven points and two rebounds with a block. Carney has averaged 18.5 minutes per game through four contests.
Analysis: Carney could continue to start however long Curry is out, but he has not managed to turn the opportunity into much. He has seen just about the same amount of playing time and shot attempts in every game this season with similar limited production. He should not be owned outside the deepest of leagues.
News: As expected, Warriors F Rodney Carney (ankle) was able to play in Wednesday's regular season opener against the Rockets. He played 17 minutes off the bench and contributed eight points off 2 for 7 shooting from the field and 4 for 4 from beyond the arc.
Analysis: Carney is a possible cheap source for 3-point shooting, but we expect him to be highly inconsistent off the Golden State bench this season. He can remain unowned in most formats -- healthy or not.
News: Golden State forward Rodney Carney (knee) did not play in the team's preseason finale on Friday against Los Angeles. Carney missed Golden State's first three exhibition games with a right hip contusion. He played in three preseason games for the Warriors, averaging 6.0 points and 1.3 rebounds per game.
Analysis: Carney is another new addition to the Warriors as he was signed during the offseason. Carney averaged just 4.9 points and 1.7 rebounds last season with the 76ers. Between dealing with these minor injuries and adjusting to his new team, we don't see Carney having a big Fantasy impact to start the regular season. Continue to ignore him.
News: The Warriors did see the preseason debut of forward Rodney Carney, who signed with the Warriors as a free agent last month. Carney missed Golden State's first three exhibition games with a right hip contusion. He finished with nine points in 22 minutes.
Analysis: Carney still has to adjust to his new team, so he'll probably take a few weeks to find his role with the team. Carney averaged just 4.9 points and 1.7 rebounds last season with the 76ers. It's unlikely he'll have a big impact in Golden State, which means he can be ignored on Draft Day.
News: Warriors G Rodney Carney did not play in Tuesday's preseason game against the Kings because of a hip contusion. He is listed as day to day.
Analysis: Carney averaged just 4.9 points and 1.7 rebounds last season with the 76ers. He will likely play more of a reserve role with the Warriors this season and most likely not see enough consistent minutes to have any Fantasy value. Ignore him on Draft Day.
News: Warriors G Rodney Carney did not play in Friday's preseason opener against the Clippers because of a hip contusion. He is listed as day to day.
Analysis: Carney averaged just 4.9 points and 1.7 rebounds last season with the 76ers. He will likely play more of a reserve role with the Warriors this season and most likely not see enough consistent minutes to have any Fantasy value. Ignore him on Draft Day.
News: Sixers SF Rodney Carney returned to the court Saturday after missing five games due to a toe injury. He played 20 minutes against the Grizzlies, shooting 4 of 6 from the field, 2 of 4 from long range. He finished with 11 points, one rebound, one assist and one steal.
Analysis: Carney averaged only 5.9 points and 2.6 rebounds during the month of March. Due to his limited production, he has little if any Fantasy value when healthy.
News: Sixers SF Rodney Carney did not play in Friday's game against the Bucks. He's missed five straight games due to a toe injury.

News: Sixers SF Rodney Carney was inactive for Tuesday's game against the Pistons due to a toe injury. He's missed Philadelphia's last three games.
Analysis: Carney sees very limited playing time even when healthy. Do not worry about him in Fantasy hoops leagues as he does not offer much statistical production.
News: According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Sixers F Rodney Carney (toe) was able to practice on Monday. He is considered a game-time decision for Tuesday against Detroit.
Analysis: Carney sees very limited playing time even when healthy. Do not worry about him in Fantasy hoops leagues as he does not offer much statistical production.

Analysis: Carney sees very limited playing time even when healthy. Do not worry about him in Fantasy hoops leagues as he does not offer much statistical production.

Analysis: Carney sees very limited playing time even when healthy. Do not worry about him in Fantasy hoops leagues as he does not offer much statistical production.
News: Philadelphia SF Rodney Carney couldn't go Wednesday against the Bobcats after injuring his right big toe Tuesday against Oklahoma City. He is day to day.
Analysis: Carney plays just 18 minutes per game and provides minimal Fantasy value in all formats. He is dealing with an injury now and should definitely be reserved in all formats.
News:The Sports Xchange notes that Sixers F Rodney Carney is shooting 12-for-35 (34.3 percent), including 2-for-15 from three-point land (13.3 percent), in the past six games.
Analysis: Carney is averaging 7.2 points and 3.8 rebounds over his last five games. He plays just 18 minutes per game and provides minimal Fantasy value, therefore he is only worth using in 12-team and deeper leagues.
News: Philadelphia SF Rodney Carney scored in double figures on Wednesday as he was given 20 minutes for the first time since the calendar turned to March. Carney put up 14 points on 6 of 16 shooting but he missed all six 3-point attempts. He grabbed five rebounds, added two blocks and had a steal.
Analysis: Carney is getting just under 12 minutes per game and not doing much with it. He's barely worth using in even the deepest of leagues at the moment.
News: Sixers SF Rodney Carney returned to action Tuesday night against the Heat after missing two games due to a sinus infection. In 19 minutes he struggled with his shot, making just 1 of 5 from the field, missing all three attempts from downtown. He finished with four points, two rebounds and one steal.
Analysis: Carney's numbers have been up a bit of late -- 7.0 points and 2.5 rebounds in four February games -- due to the absence of Allen Iverson. Even though Iverson has returned, SG Willie Green injured his shoulder in Tuesday's game, so Carney's minutes might remain up for awhile. Regardless, his production only makes him a viable Fantasy option in the deepest of leagues.
News: Philadelphia SF Rodney Carney did not play in Wednesday's game against the Raptors due to a sinus infection. It was the second straight game he's missed.
Analysis: Carney is only averaging 7.7 points during the New Year, appearing in only nine games. He plays too sporadically and doesn't log enough minutes to be a viable Fantasy option at this juncture.
News: Sixers SF Rodney Carney did not play in Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves due to a sinus infection.
Analysis: While Carney's numbers are up of late -- averaging 8.3 points and 3.0 rebounds over his last five games -- he plays too sporadically and doesn't log enough minutes to be a viable Fantasy option at this juncture.
News: Philadelphia SF Rodney Carney scored 13 points and grabbed three rebounds in Friday's win over New Orleans. In 19 minutes he shot 5 of 8 from the field, including 3 of 5 from downtown. He added two assists.
Analysis: While Carney's numbers are up of late -- averaging 7.3 points and 2.0 rebounds over his last five games -- Friday's 13 points marked his first double figure-scoring output in his last eight contests. He plays too sporadically and doesn't log enough minutes to be a viable Fantasy option at this juncture.
News: Philadelphia SF Rodney Carney scored 13 points on Wednesday against the Knicks. Carney played 15 minutes and shot 5 for 11 with three threes. He did not have a single rebound, assist, steal or blocked shot.
Analysis: Carney has failed to score in two of his last five games and has seen double-digit minutes in just two of those games. He is clearly not a major factor in the 76ers offense at this point, though Wednesday's scoring showed he can fill it up when given the chance. Carney should be on radars but not be used in anything but the deepest of leagues right now.
News: 76ers SF Rodney Carney saw 13 minutes on the court on Wednesday in a win at Sacramento. Carney scored 14 points on 5 of 6 shooting with four threes.
Analysis: Carney often plays under 10 minutes and averages just 11.5 per night. He is not a solid Fantasy option for any league at this time.
News: Sixers swingman Rodney Carney had 12 points, 6 rebounds, an assist and a steal in Saturday's game at Cleveland. It was his third straight game with 20-plus minutes.
Analysis: Carney is starting to get more playing time for Philly and is becoming someone to consider in deeper leagues. He is a good three-point shooter and can be a decent last-resort option as a stopgap when the Sixers face favorable matchups.
News: Philadelphia SF Rodney Carney was able to play through a sprained wrist on Friday against the Grizzlies. He scored seven points in the game and grabbed a rebound in 22 minutes off the bench.
Analysis: Carney is not much of a producer with the Sixers usually and his performance on Friday is typical. He is just a low-end Fantasy option although the wrist injury won't keep him from playing.
News: The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that Rodney Carney has a sprained right wrist. He is expected to play in the team's next game against Memphis, however.
Analysis: Carney is coming off his best performance of the season Wednesday with 10 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists with 2 threes and a block against the Bobcats. He could be in line for a bigger role in the next few games with the team a bit banged up.
News: Philadelphia SF Rodney Carney scored in double figures on Wednesday night against Charlotte for just the second time this season. He shot 4 of 8 from the field with two threes for 10 points and grabbed eight rebounds. He added a block in 27 minutes.
Analysis: Carney had been seeing no more than 15 minutes on the court before Wednesday's game and he responded well to the increase in time. If this happens consistently, Carney would become viable in deeper Fantasy leagues, especially as a three-point threat. Until that happens, however, leave him on waivers in most formats.
News: Philadelphia SF Rodney Carney played 17 minutes off the bench on Wednesday night in the season-opening loss to Orlando. Carney shot 4 of 7 from the field and hit two threes. He scored 10 points and blocked a shot.
Analysis: Carney is only owned in 1 percent of Fantasy leagues. He has some upside for deeper Fantasy leagues because he can hit the three. Still, as one of the last guys off the bench in Philly, he has low-end Fantasy appeal.
News: Sixers G Rodney Carney was able to play in the team's preseason finale on Friday against the Nets. He scored 13 points in the game and added four rebounds. He had been dealing with a hamstring injury coming into the game.
Analysis: Carney will probably be one of the last guys off the bench for the 76ers this year, so don't bother drafting him in most Fantasy formats.
News: Sixers SF Rodney Carney missed another preseason game with a strained hamstring Tuesday at New York. He has yet to play this preseason.
Analysis: Carney will probably be one of the last guys off the bench for the 76ers this year, so don't bother drafting him in Fantasy.
News: The Sixers were without F Stromile Swift as well as Gs Rodney Carney and Royal Ivey for Friday's preseason win over the Nets. All three had a left hamstring strain.
Analysis: Swift doesn't get enough playing time to be a consistent contributor for Fantasy owners. Ignore him in all leagues at this time. The same goes for Ivey and Carney. They are not expected to make much contributions to the Sixers this season and really don't need to be on Fantasy rosters.
News: The Philadelphia 76ers have signed free agent swingman Rodney Carney a year after trading him. The 76ers signed the former first-round pick on Tuesday.
Analysis: Carney spent last season with the Minnesota Timberwolves, averaging 7.2 points and 1.9 rebounds in 67 games, including six starts. General manager Ed Stefanski says Carney's athleticism will fit the up-tempo style favored by new coach Eddie Jordan. He is expected to play a reserve role, however, and is likely to be waiver wire fodder in Fantasy.
News: Minnesota SF Rodney Carney returned to action on Saturday night against the Suns after missing two games with a hip injury. Carney shot 8-of-17 Saturday with 17 points. He added six rebounds, a steal and an assist.
Analysis: Carney was 1-of-7 from three-point range on Saturday. He's healthy and he should get plenty of shots and minutes over the final few games of the season with Randy Foye out. He should be a nice Fantasy option in all leagues going forward. He normally has low-end value but the T-Wolves will give him a chance to show what he's got as the season is all but over.
News: Timberwolves SF Rodney Carney missed a second straight game with a hip injury Wednesday against the Warriors. He remains questionable for Saturday against the Suns.
Analysis: Carney's first season with the Timberwolves hasn't been much different from his first two NBA years with the 76ers. He averages about six points off the bench and is one of those players that has low-end Fantasy value when healthy.
News: Minnesota forward Rodney Carney, who banged his hip in the loss to the Nuggets on Sunday, could return to play in Tuesday's game at the Los Angeles Clippers. Carney is day to day.
Analysis: Keep Carney reserved in all leagues at this time to be safe. Carney has played well recently, but he's not worth the risk of keeping in your lineup in case he's not able to play during this scoring period.
News: The Pioneer Press reports Monday that Minnesota forward Rodney Carney, who banged his hip in the loss to the Nuggets on Sunday, is uncertain for Tuesday's game at the Los Angeles Clippers.
Analysis: Keep Carney reserved in all leagues at this time to be safe. Carney has played well recently, but he's not worth the risk of keeping in your lineup in case he's not able to play during this scoring period.
News: Minnesota SF Rodney Carney enjoyed playing the role of spoiler on Friday night at Utah. "I think we put a little shock in their plans," said Carney, who scored 10 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter. Carney shot 8-of-13 overall with five threes and added five rebounds and a block in the win.
Analysis: Carney is averaging 17 points per game over his last five games with four rebounds, almost four threes and a block per night. He's well worth using in most 12-team and deeper formats and should finish the year strong for Minnesota.
News: Minnesota SF Rodney Carney continues to play well despite the T-Wolves losing four of their last five games. Carney scored 14 points and grabbed down nine rebounds in a loss to Dallas on Tuesday. He was 5-of-15 with two threes and added a steal.
Analysis: Carney is averaging 14 points, three rebounds and three threes per game over his last five contests. With the T-Wolves season virtually over as far as the playoffs are concerned, Carney could get more minutes and he's definitely proven he can score. That makes him a nice sleeper for the rest of the season.
News: Minnesota coach Kevin McHale was clearly tinkering with his lineup on Wednesday as he started his bench players and had his starters come off the bench. Carney scored 21 points Wednesday at Philadelphia on 7-of-10 shooting as he hit on seven of eight from long distance. He also blocked two shots for good measure.
Analysis: Ryan Gomes, Mike Miller and Kevin Love came off the bench on Wednesday and Carney was the benefactor. He's connected on 12 threes in his last three games and is averaging 16 points per game over that span. With the T-Wolves season virtually over as far as the playoffs are concerned, Carney could get more minutes and he's definitely proven he can score. That makes him a nice sleeper for the rest of the season.
News: Minnesota SF Rodney Carney, who returned after missing two games with a lower abdomen injury, gave the Wolves some breathing room against Charlotte on Saturday. He hit a 3-pointer followed by a hard dunk. He added another 3 with 2:35 to play to put Minnesota up 102-94 and put the game away. Carney finished with 21 points on 8-of-13 shooting with four threes. He added two steals and a block.
Analysis: Carney played 27 minutes but usually doesn't see this type of production. He's only averaging just over five points per game on the year. Carney is a player with little to no Fantasy value, so continue to ignore him in Fantasy despite this nice performance. A few more of these, however, and it will be time to take notice.
News: Minnesota SF Rodney Carney was unable to play on Friday against the Knicks due to an abdominal injury. He remains questionable for Saturday's game against the Bobcats.
Analysis: Carney is a player with little to no Fantasy value, so continue to ignore him in Fantasy even when he is able to return.
News: The Pioneer Press reports Minnesota coach Kevin McHale hasn't made a final decision on guard Randy Foye (sprained right ankle) or forward Rodney Carney (bruised groin/abdomen) for Friday night's game against the New York Knicks, but he said after the morning shootaround that both are "very doubtful." "Probably Rod is more iffy than Randy," McHale said, "but they're both iffy right now." Foye and Carney were injured in Monday night's loss to Washington and sat out Wednesday’s win over Memphis.
Analysis: Carney has minimal Fantasy value when healthy. Even if he returns, ignore him in all leagues.
News: Minnesota forward Rodney Carney, who missed Wednesday's game against Memphis because of a lower abdominal contusion, could return Friday against New York, reports the Star Tribune.
Analysis: Carney has minimal Fantasy value when healthy. Even if he returns, ignore him in all leagues.

Analysis: Carney had a nice Rotisserie-type game but did too little of each to really matter in anything but the deepest of Fantasy leagues.
News:The Sports Xchange notes that Minnesota F Rodney Carney's three points Sunday against Boston was his fourth consecutive single-digit scoring game after scoring in double figures in six of his previous eight games.
Analysis: Carney averages five points per game and does little else. Right now he doesn't belong on any Fantasy rosters.
News: Timberwolves SF Rodney Carney scored 15 points on 5-of-8 shooting in a 116-108 win over the Hornets on Friday. Carney has been getting increased playing time and taking advantage of it with Rashed McCants having fallen out of favor in Minnesota.
Analysis: Carney put up a zero spot against the Jazz on Tuesday but bounced back strong against the Hornets with a 15-point performance. He has scored in double digits in three of his last five games and is averaging 10.4 points per game. He may be worth adding in some deeper Rotisserie leagues for his threes.
News: With Rashad McCants basically falling out of favor with coach Kevin McHale in Minnesota, SF Rodney Carney is taking full advantage of added playing time. Carney played 26 minutes on Wednesday and scored 14 points and got 30 minutes on Saturday night in a win over the Bucks and scored 22 points on 7-of-11 shooting. Carney scored 11 points in the final 3:47 of the 3rd quarter and played a major role in the win. He hit four threes in the game.
Analysis: Carney has played over the last two games like someone worth adding in all deeper Fantasy leagues right now. With playing time he appears to be worth at least double figures in scoring and some threes and he will get the PT going forward.
News: According to The Sports Xchange, F Rodney Carney, mostly forgotten in Randy Wittman's rotation, played 14 minutes and had two blocked shots, two steals and six points.
Analysis: Unless Carney continues to get more significant minutes under new coach Kevin McHale, don't expect Carney to continue scoring in double digits. He may have some worth with more minutes, but don't expect much.
News: The Timberwolves will play three games in Fantasy Week 1 (Oct. 27-Nov. 2). They'll play Sacramento on Oct. 29, Dallas on Nov. 1 and at Oklahoma City Nov. 2. The Kings allowed 104.8 ppg last season. The Mavericks allowed just 95.6 ppg and Oklahoma City/Seattle allowed 106.3 ppg.
Analysis: Off the bench, Rashad McCants will play a sixth man role and can be useful as a No. 4 guard option in deeper formats. Ryan Gomes looks like he will lose a lot of minutes with Kevin Love in the mix and should be reserved for now. Corey Brewer will be starting at small forward, but he will not be a recommended Fantasy option this week. Craig Smith, Rodney Carney and Kirk Snyder are wait-and-see options that should not be active this week.
News: The 76ers are close to trading forward Rodney Carney and a future No. 1 pick to the Minnesota Timberwolves in a deal that clears salary cap space for Philadelphia to make a stronger push for free agents, a person in the NBA told The Associated Press on Tuesday. The 76ers will throw in reserve forward Calvin Booth, but are working out the particulars of what they will get back from Minnesota.
Analysis: The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the trade had not yet been completed and the NBA trade moratorium is not lifted until Wednesday. Carney appeared in 70 games in his second NBA season. He averaged 5.8 points after averaging 6.6 points in 2006-07 as a rookie. That's not the kind of progression we'd like to see out of him, but it didn't help that he saw less playing time and started in just six games after starting 35 as a rookie. The emergence of Thaddeus Yound didn't bode well for him, but the possibility of improvement is greater for him in Minnesota.
News: Sixers F Rodney Carney appeared in 70 games in his second NBA season. He averaged 5.8 points after averaging 6.6 points in 2006-07 as a rookie.
Analysis: That's not the kind of progression we'd like to see out of him, but it didn't help that he saw less playing time and started in just six games after starting 35 as a rookie. The emergence of Thaddeus Yound doesn't bode well for a third-year breakout from Carney.
News: Sixers forward Rodney Carney went for 12 points, five rebounds and two assists Monday at the Clippers in 24 minutes off the bench. Carney is averaging 10.7 points in his past three games.
Analysis: Carney has minimal Fantasy value at this time. His 32 points in three games was inconsistent with 18 points against Golden State, two points against Phoenix and then his outing against the Clippers. Hopefully he continues to play like he did against the Warriors and Clippers, but keep an eye on what develops.
News: 76ers SF Rodney Carney scored 10 points in 20 minutes off the bench Wednesday against the Knicks. It was his highest scoring output since scoring 16 points Feb. 5 against the Waizrds. He went 4 of 9 from the field and 1 of 2 from the free-throw line while grabbing one rebound.
Analysis: The 76ers continues to fluctuate with Carney's minutes and how many shots he is allowed to take in a game. The former Memphis product is a talented player, but remains a reserve with Philly. Treat him as a low-end Fantasy reserve until further notice.
News: Sixers F Rodney Carney scored a season-high 16 points Tuesday against the Wizards. He also had six rebounds, tying a season high.
Analysis: Carney averages only 13.4 minutes off the bench, but he played 23 on Tuesday and has averaged 21 over his last three. Still, he can remain on waivers in most leagues.

News:The Sports Xchange reports Sixers G/F Rodney Carney managed one point and one steal in nine minutes in a loss to the Bulls Friday after not playing in the three previous games. He had three points in 13 minutes vs. the Spurs.
Analysis: The Sixers are 10-22 with shooting guard Willie Green in the starting lineup and 4-2 with Carney in that spot. Logic would say to start Carney, but he continues to see erratic playing time. The Sixers had a lot of expectations for Carney after drafting him out of Memphis in 2006, but he has yet to develop into that shining star. He remains just a low-end Fantasy reserve at this time.

News: The 76ers bench will consist of G Kevin Ollie, G Louis Williams, F Kyle Korver, F Rodney Carney, F Shavlik Randolph, F Bobby Jones, F Alan Henderson, F Steven Smith and C Steven Hunter to start the season.
Analysis: Korver gives the Sixers a 3-point threat off the bench, while Randolph should add rebounding and a lunch-pail mentality in the paint. Hunter and Carney are the wild cards for a reserve group that was ineffective in 2005-06. Carney has caught the eye of the coaching staff and could develop some Fantasy value, but should remain on the waiver wire until further notice. The same goes for the rest of the players on the bench.
