2007-08 Rookie Crop

Al Horford 2x champSo the NBA schedules games on Christmas and Easter, but they always, always, ALWAYS avoid the night the NCAA crowns their Men’s Division I champion. Why? “One shining moment…”

Even the biggest NBA die-hards will check out college ball around this time of year. The tourney kicks off draft hype. With players like Derrick Rose, Kevin Love, Brandon Rush etc making it to the Final Four this year, it’s been an excellent time to check out these blue chip prospects. Tyler Hansbrough has been named Player of the Year in quite a few places, but most have his pro potential listed pretty low.

Wire to Wire - 02.05.07

Darko Milicic - Fantasy BasketballWire 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.

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.

Kevin Durant - Fantasy BasketballHappy Thanksgiving everybody!  With four weeks nearly in the books, I thought it would be a good idea to review what this season’s freshman class has delivered our way thus far.

Rookies are usually the hype of all fantasy drafts, but unlike the other major fantasy sports, you’ll only have a select few that provide consistent value.  This season, the word “few” may even be stretching it.  Let’s dig in…

The Fig Cap:  Seattle is thankful for Kevin Durant.  Soon, Oklahoma City will be thankful for…Kevin Durant.
