At this point the 76'rs are stuck with Elton Brand. He signed that ridiculous contract and hasn't played anywhere near what his bank account shows. He had his best performance of the season finishing with 19 points and 10 boards. This was his first double-double of the year. He also had six blocks as well but don't let this loaded line inflate his value. He has a few injuries on him that tend to act up as the year goes on and the fact of the matter is that he isn't even the second option in Philly score anymore. Most of the looks are going to be on Iquodala and the young cats Lou Williams and Thaddeus Young. I guess it sad to say that Brand is done in fantasy world.
Stepping it up so far this year in fantasy is Hawks' forward Al Horford. This kid till now is making his fantasy value known. He's just about a top ten player in most leagues with his ability to efficiently score and grab boards, that not to mention he's averaging just about two blocks per game this year. Atlanta is tied for the best record in the NBA at 10-2 with the Suns. They have a nice dynamic game. Joe Johnson sticks 3-pointers, Horford cleans glass and Josh Smith does just about anything you ask him.
The biggest question is will the draft class of 1996 ever get old? By now most of the coveted draft class is done with the league but the ones that do remain are still killing it. Steve Nash is a averaging 12 dimes and 17 points, honestly with this guy ever get old. There was a lot of talk about why Phoenix payed him they money they did but those talks stopped after game two. Nash had 20 assists and 18 points and has met the 20 assists mark twice this year. This guy needs and NBA title, but for now don't think about trading him, he is simply incredible.
Take a look at these guys if your team is really bleeding: Tyreke Evans, Roy Hibbert, Larry Hughes, Carl Landry and the ageless Grant Hill
i like the fantasy sports blog. i've never played fantasy bball. maybe i should. good blog
ReplyDeleteFantasy bball is by far the best of all fantasy sports.
ReplyDeleteGlad you mentioned Hibbert, the guy has been playing a lot better than I ever expected him to.
Hmm..I actually never knew there was a fantasy basketball. I always thought it was just on football. Shows how little I know about sports! You learn something new ever day.
ReplyDeleteWell written blog thats very entertaining. But you talk to much about salaries, that doesn't exactly translate to fantasy stats. I dont ever draft the guy thats making the most money. Liked how you had players to add at the end. You should also do players to drop.
