It’s that time of year again – you can smell it in the air – NBA training camps are opening up around this beautiful county. And the start of training camp means the start of unabashed optimism and hope about our favorite NBA teams. To help kick the love-fest off, you can read my Boston Celtics team preview on MVN NBA Outsider. It’s 500 sweet words on what we can expect from the Celtics this season and I even managed to limit myself to only one Teen Wolf reference in the entire post.
Over the next few weeks, MVN NBA Outsider will be running previews for all 30 NBA teams, which I would highly recommend reading, especially because they will be written by people smarter than myself. One of the best things you can do for yourself fantasy-wise is to get up to speed on every team in the league. Why? Sleepers and breakout players are born out of opportunity and necessity. Most every team has a Paul Millsap hiding on their bench, a player who would explode fantasy-wise if given the playing time or if a starter gets hurt. And while it’s easy just to print off the “experts’” lists of these sleeper guys, that is exactly what every other owner in your league does. No, if you really want an edge in your league, you’ve got to do some damn legwork and see for yourself which players might get a shot at big minutes this year.
And, if you’re just plain lazy, it’s always good fun to see which teams’ fans are the most unrealistically optimistic.
