KJ McDaniels Fantasy Basketball Value

KJ McDaniels is a rookie playing for the Philadelphia 76ers for all of you that were not familiar with the contract drama that surrounded this 21-year-old prospect from Clemson during the past summer. Namely, KJ McDaniels unguaranteed contract is a true rarity among rookies. The 6’6” shooting guard decided to sign a one year long unguaranteed contract with the Sixers and battle for a multiyear…

Deron Williams Needs Help This Season

I was watching the Nets and the Celtics season opener yesterday. Needed to take that off of my chest. In an evening when Kemba Walker scored two of the biggest clutch shots his franchise has seen, at the same time when Derrick Rose and Carmelo Anthony were battling in the Madison Square Garden, the two draft picks were on the floor for their respective teams, I watched how two forgotten…

Contract Hunters Are Great For Fantasy Basketball

We are just hours away from the beginning of the new NBA season. A lot of players changed uniforms while others signed improved contracts with their existing teams and there is a small group of guys that are entering the final season of their contracts.

Those guys are the ones that you need to keep a close eye on in your fantasy basketball league. We know that some of them slipped through your…

Steve Nash is out for the season. No matter how painful this was for Lakers fans, it was something that could be predicted. Another thing that you can predict is that Jeremy Lin is getting that starting PG gig for sure now.

Lin’s Value

Although he’s ranked as the 100 best player at ESPN’s ranking, Lin will be an undisputed  starter. This means that he will be getting more playing time than…

Avoid Kawhi Leonard In Fantasy Basketball Because you can Find Bigger Value In Other Players Ranked Lower

Kawhi Leonard is one of my favorite players personally. He’s a freakish athlete, humble person, hard worker and very smart basketball player. Got my eyes on him since Pop traded George Hill to the Pacers for his draft rights.

When the Spurs trade a very prosperous point guard at the time for a two-three year project from San Diego University, there must be something good about this player.

Kawhi…

We have already discussed about potential sleepers that could fall down on the fantasy basketball draft order. We have made our cases for the value of few overlooked players in the likes of Steven Adams and Nikola Mirotic.

If you’re…

Derrick Rose And1 Against Kyrie Irving

Derrick Rose had a perfect game against the Cleveland Cavaliers scoring 30 points while managing to hit 12-18 from the floor and making zero mistakes.

It’s still the preseason, but Rose looks like the player we are used to watch. Kyrie Irving looked so helpless on this Derrick Rose And1 play. The fantasy basketball value of Rose surely increased after tonight’s game.

Nikola Mirotic Fantasy Value

Nikola Mirotic is one of the rare players that have signed a five year contract with one of the biggest European clubs at the age of 20 and shortly afterwards decided to try out their talents in the NBA. Chicago got Mirotic after of series of trades during the 2011 NBA draft, the same draft in which they got Butler.

How Did the Bulls Got Their Hands On Mirotic

This is kinda interesting. It…

Triangle Offense Needs Two Superstars According To Shaq

Shaq’s opinion on triangle offense regarding this years’ New York Team is something you need to hear before undergoing your NBA fantasy draft. You need to know will the Knicks easily implement the Jackson/Fisher offensive playbook. If you don’t get Carmelo in the first round, you can still grab some Knicks starters further on in the draft. The real question is, should you?

It is clear that Phil…

It has been almost four months since the last game of the NBA season. Dominant championship run by the Spurs over the soon to be former Big Three in Miami. More than 120 days filled with NBA rumors, interesting free agency movement and coaching changes.

How can you tell me that you are not excited about the start of the 2014/2015 NBA season?

The Summer Hype

Big name free agents were available on…

Lebron Promotes Old-School Move

Remember how Lebron always said that he needs to work on his post game in order to become a dominating force in the NBA? Well the truth is that he had some basic knowledge and the idea of what to do when he enters the paint even in his early days in Cleveland.

The problem was that he didn’t took advantage of situations where he was…

Steven Adams Ranks High On Our Fantasy Draft

Steven Adams is ranked at #130 by ESPN for the upcoming 2014-2015 NBA season. The New Zealander was ranked #406 last year by the same TV network. Well they got that one wrong.

Although in the company of players like Odom, Tinsley and Earl Barron; Adams managed to record 3.3 points, 4.1 rebounds and 0.7 blocks per game. These numbers would look more like 8 points, 10 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per…

Three point specialists for your fantasy NBA bench

Treys are a vital element of your fantasy NBA strategy for this year. Actually they’ve always been. The problem is that you have great number of big man and even swingmans that will not hit so many threes.

Everybody gets the occasional rebound or assist no matter their position, but you will have problems with big guys that play only in the paint. That’s why you need to be ahead of the pack and…

Injured Faverani Could Stay In Europe. The Boston Celtics already have 16 guaranteed contracts and lots of competition in the paint.

Faverani has left for Spain in order to get his knees checked and have a minor operation, but it seems like he could stay there for a longer period of time.

The 26 year-old Brazilian center had couple of good games in last year’s season, but was never too good to be a part of the roster more than 37 times in the season.

Smart Choice For The Celtics

It is hard to see how the Celtics will let…
