“If you don’t know what you want,” the doorman said, “you end up with a lot you don’t.”  ~Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club, Chapter 5

Round 6
Pick 6-1: Chris Andersen, F/C – This pick is way too early. Birdman’s game is too one dimensional to grab him in the sixth round. He passed up on the following [...]

GMTR Mock Draft Analysis: Round Five

Posted by Erik on October 16th, 2009 filed in Author: Erik, Fantasy Basketball, Fantasy Basketball Strategy

Rounds five and six of most drafts are when “real reaching” begins to happen as more and more drafters pick up guys they want to speculate on. This is the zone wherein players values start to get a bit more debatable, and that’s actually part of what makes fantasy basketball so great; the fact that [...]

As we all know, three picks don’t make a team. We’re going to follow how each team fills up its roster and satisfies both its statistical and positional needs.

In the first Dwight Howard related post, I created team that could win the free throw percentage category in a roto league with Dwight Howard prominently involved. Of course the team you have to build around Howard to win FT% is slightly ridiculous, filled with some of the best shooting guards in the league, a [...]

Posted by Erik on October 6th, 2009 filed in Author: Erik, Fantasy Basketball, Fantasy Basketball Strategy

At this stage of the draft the teams’  visions and/or directions should be getting clearer. Well if it isn’t, then they’re either doing something wrong OR I need a really cold beer to wash it all down. What concerns me at this point, although I don’t know why it should, is that a good number [...]
