I bit on Josh Smith too, but in my opinion, it's too early to tell anything. Very nice analysis. I bit on Josh Smith too, but in my opinion, it’s too early to tell anything.

I ended up with Smith in a couple of my leagues (I also picked him in the GMTR mock draft) and he is indeed off to a slow start. Although he had a nice game this afternoon - I’m going to have my fingers crossed that he at least gets close to that high draft pick this year. John – Thanks for the comment. I’ve been to your site before and I hope you keep up the good work too. It’s a good time to be a fan of the NBA because there’s a lot of interesting writers and sites out there and more show up every day. Also, I agree that Gooden will be a solid player this year, but whether he’s a sleeper or not depends on your definition of a sleeper. Some people like to find guys no one has every heard of or would never draft, while, on the other hand, Gooden is pretty much a known commodity. The important thing is that he’ll likely be better than the spot where he’s drafted. Ben – you have more foresight and restraint than I do.

There was a history behind it. Everyone saw his incredible April last year and said "Wow, he can do this every game." But they didn't look at the April before. Last year I took Smith in the later rounds of my fantasy draft, on the strength of his rookie year April play. He had averaged 16-9-2, with 2 blocks and 1 steal a game that April. "If he could do it then, why not during the year?" I reasoned. Of course, he got off to a horrible start, and in the end I dropped him (for Boris Diaw, no less). But the point was, I had learned my lesson - I was not going to get sucked in, like thousands of fantasy players, by another seductive Josh Smith April. It happened again. To me it's no surprise, just how much attention he got. He put up similar numbers in last year's April to the April of his rookie campaign, yet more people seemed to notice now. Sucks for them. I get to gloat. I need to brag about this, since I was all over it from the start: Josh Smith’s play this year was predictable. There was a history behind it.
