Mock Draft Central Fantasy Basketball Experts League

Description

The Fig Cap: “I fell to fourth?  FOURTH?!?!”

So, somehow, this little fantasy basketball blog of ours was able to get into this group of experts for some mocking.  We feel we held our own and were happy to join the banter as the draft moved along.  NOTE: Matt Buser made a comment along the lines of Zach Randolph and Eddy Curry bringing the Knicks back to prominence.  As a realistic Knicks fan I took umbrage… apparently, I was the only one that didn’t get that Buser was kidding.  Check out his Curry Line.  Sometimes I take my Knicks TOO seriously.  I’m such a dummy.

Anyway, you’ll also see Sarge in the mock repping Sports Grumblings, which you should definitely check out AFTER DroppingDimes.com of course.  In any case, since Sarge knows my tendencies (Take it easy out there… I meant draft tendencies), he was actually predicting some of my picks in the draft chat.  I’m convinced he’s my fantasy sports hetero-lifemate.

Here’s the rest of the experts that participated in the draft in selecting order…

Stat’s All Folks: He’s Playing Better Than The Quality Of His Shoes

Stat’s All Folks will be a week-to-week stock market look at the standard cumulative categories – points, assists, rebounds, three-pointers made, steals, and blocks. 
StarburyI’ll be calling out the “bulls” and “bears” in each category, in order to help you assess your portfolio of players on your fantasy basketball team(s) and whether you should sell, hold, and/or diversify your assets. 

Note that you won’t always see the superstar player written about in this column, otherwise it would be LeBron James or Steve Nash every week.  So, check out who’s bullish and who’s bearish coming into the week.

Statistics are from February 23rd – March 1st.

POINTS

BULLISH

Stephon Marbury, PG, New York Knicks
Last Week’s Numbers of Note: 4 G; 23.0 PPG; 46.8 FG%; 78.6 FT%

Marbury has been playing like the Starbury of old, the self-proclaimed “best point guard” in the NBA.  It’s funny how that was statement was associated with Steve Nash who then went on to back-to-back MVP awards.  However, this is not to bash Steph, but to praise him.  In his last four games he’s scored at least 22 points and with backcourt mate Jamal Crawford, the only consistent Knicks guard this season, possibly out for the season, you can expect Marbury’s value to keep rising, especially with the Knicks having a chance at the playoffs thanks to playing in the Leastern Conference.
