Fantasy 30 Team Review: Detroit Pistons

Posted by Ron Chow Categories: Central Division, Detroit Pistons, Props, Site Features, Talent

The Detroit Pistons ranked number four in our inaugural Fantasy 30. It has been about a week since Allen Iverson played his first game with his new team. Has there been enough evidence to see how things will shake down from the fantasy perspective? Let us take a closer look at the fantasy landscape with the “new” Detroit Pistons.

Dropping Dimes Mock Draft: Round 1, Pick 9 - Caron Butler

Posted by Scott Sargent Categories: H2H, Props, Roto, Site Features, Talent, Washington Wizards

Scoring?  Check.  Hustle stats?  Check.  Year-over-year improvement since 2003?  You got it.

One of fantasy’s most underrated players over the last handful of years has finally made the jump into the first round.  Sure, his position isn’t exactly a rarity, but you can no longer turn a cheek at the production that we have seen, and continue to see from the man they call “Tough Juice.” 

Caron Butler, SF, Washington Wizards

Prospect Pro Specs: Michael Beasley

Posted by Alvin Lai Categories: NBA Draft, Site Features, Talent

The Knicks had the fifth worst record this past season. How would “Be Easy” play in the Big Apple? The educated guess would have to be the Knickerbocker faithful would be supremely pleased if the ping pong balls dropped their way when the draft lottery takes place. The Knicks have a new coach in Mike D’Antoni. Who wants to bet he will miss the desert when he’s trying to turn Zach Randolph and Eddy Curry into the new Amare and Matrix show?

How the Knicks get made over will be one of the stories to follow this summer. Will it be another “cold” lottery card that lets the Knicks land the big prize on draft day? (Look into the Patrick Ewing draft conspiracy stories if you do not know what I’m referring to.)

Wire to Wire - 01.15.08

Posted by Scott Sargent Categories: Free Agency, H2H, Roto, Site Features, Waiver Pick Ups

Wire to Wire aims to be your waiver wire resource for all of your fantasy basketball needs. It will dive into playing time trends, injury replacements, and even an occasional category specialist—all of which can be found on a typical waiver wire within your fantasy league at any given time.

We may as well cut to the chase this week, as owners everywhere are scrambling to cover their losses as Los Angeles Lakers big man Andrew Bynum will miss considerable time with a knee injury.  Last week, Bynum continued to be one of the biggest surprises in the fantasy game.  This week, he’s relegated to taking up a slot on the end of a bench because you simply cannot drop a player of his caliber.  We’ll explore options for owners in all formats, and even sprinkle in a few other names for good measure.
