As I’ve said at least once so far, there will be a readers’ league. I don’t even think Yahoo is open for fantasy basketball yet, though, so we’ve still got a little while to decide on how we’re going to do that.

We’re also working on the mock draft thing… hoping to start this week.

I’d be up for a reader mock and/or league as well, because the readers here have a lot of good opinions and visions.

I’m pretty sure the comment record is right around 69. Hahahahahahhaahhahah!

Whoa. 8th grade moment right there.

22 might be a record… who knows? And more importantly, who’s going to try to find out? Not me.

if we do a reader mock, would it be possible for a sentence or two about the pick? if the drafters were up to it? Why they made the pick and what they expect from the pick?

How about an all bloggers league? How does one get to join the readers league?

Let me just say, awesome job with the spreadsheets, Nels. I take no credit for his hard work there. And to recap all the questions asked:

Oh, yeah, I’m definitely up for the Readers’ League again this year. I have a title to defend and I’m not going down easy.

We should get a readers’ mock draft up and running. The more stuff we get to do with you guys, the better.

Everyone can blame me for GMTR being so high on O’Neal. I personally think the change of scenery is going to do wonders for the guy and his motivation. When he’s healthy, he’s a 20 and 10 guy and better than Biedrins, Okur, and Kaman.

Kaman in particular I think is going to be a disappointment this year. If you look at his per minute rebounding numbers, they are much worse when Brand was on the floor with him. Camby is going to make him look even worse. Draft at you’re own risk, in my opinion.

Brewer would be on my list of breakout players this season. He’s in his third year and has got appreciably better each one. But, you do bring up a good point about Korver, dyeyk2000. I’ll have to look into that a little bit more.
