Jan Rey has been following basketball way before he knew how to write cursive letters. He is also an ardent fantasy basketball participant since 2003 and has won two private All-Filipino 20-team leagues way back when.
There are so many factors why a certain player gets picked so high in a fantasy draft and it is our jobs to acquaint and warn you about them. It could be some inherent biases we all have towards our favorite teams (if you're a Cleveland fan, you might pick J.R. Smith over, say, Nikola Mirotic), we might be looking way up on re-tooled squads, or simple believed the buzz. Yeah, we have all been there before and fantasy basketball is by no way an exact science, but these players pretty much should Read More
Overview: Last season wasn't really a good one for the San Antonio Spurs and all the nagging injuries Tony Parker suffered is primarily the one to blame. Despite being known as a "unit" rather than a one-man show, everything goes where Parker goes. If he's at it, everybody's at it. That said, the Spurs somehow makes every experts list as contenders year in and year out BUT on fantasy previews, the consensus is to AVOID everyone not named Kawhi Leonard (and to a lesser extent, Danny Green) like Read More
After a promising start that had them flirting with the top seed out East, the Toronto Raptors stumbled on their way to the playoffs and suffered a first-round exit against the Washington Wizards. The team's make-up is crystal clear, Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan was the primary shot creators while Jonas Valanciunas was supposed to be the inside threat. However, the Raptors weren't about to scare any other team defensively anytime soon which prompted GM Masai Ujiri to pull the trigger on some moves. They Read More
Point guard may very well be the deepest position in all of fantasy basketball. However, especially when you're going to pick at the tail end of the first round and front end of the second round, it's easy to see the top targets slip away one by one. Of course, you can counter that with adding potential point guard sleepers that may still be available in the mid to later rounds. Who might be this year's cream of the point guard sleeper crop? We will give you five. Rajon Rondo By putting Read More
Overview: Probably one of the biggest surprises last season was the Boston Celtics making it all the way to the post-season after a sputter-y start. The Celts were a miserable 16-29 through January but made it up with a 24-13 finish, good for a 7th seed in the Eastern Conference. The midseason trade that involved Isaiah Thomas was the undeniable catalyst, creating a menacing backcourt that coach Brad Stevens like to unleash on the opposition. However, interior play was sorely lacking which Read More
Overview: People in Los Angeles aren't the most patient in the world so anyone cheering for the Purple and Gold find very little reason to do so. Kobe Bryant seemed to have one thing in mind from the get-go, and that is to pass Michael Jordan on the all-time scoring list, shooting percentages be damned. Highly-touted rookie Julius Randle got himself seven minutes of real NBA play before breaking his tibia. And the list goes on. No fantasy-productive players will return this season except Read More
Last year wasn't especially a good year for Charlotte Hornets fans. Seeing Al Jefferson and Kemba Walker wore coats and ties more than pre-game warmups is not a routine sight you'd like. What's more Cody Zeller hasn't really taken a big leap as expected and the Lance Stephenson signing turned out to be a bust, after all. The Hornets passed on Justise Winslow to nab consensus College Player of the Year Frank Kaminsky ninth overall, which has probably the most complementary skill set to Big Read More
NBA Player Tracking statistics provides a whole new dimension for stat lovers to delve in. According to the official website, "Player Tracking is the latest example of how technology and statistics are changing the way we understand the game of basketball." How did they do it? "Using six cameras installed in the catwalks of every NBA arena, SportVU software tracks the movements of every player on the court and the basketball 25 times per second. The data collected provides a plethora of innovative Read More
Overview: What's not to like about the Phoenix Suns? They're full of solid rotation players worthy of a fantasy roster on anybody's team. Though they lack a true superstar, Phoenix does things by committee which is a 'glass half full, glass half empty' type of thing depending on who's looking. If I have it my way, I think the pros does outweigh the cons and it's the reason why this team is at least 7-deep when it comes to roster-worthy hoopsters. Eric Bledsoe and Brandon Knight looks like Read More
Overview: The Washington Wizards had a relatively successful 2014-15 season, making it to the second round of the playoffs with ease. However, a John Wall fractured hand cut short the Wizards' joy ride which is kind of sad, because the team is just coming along at the right time. Coach Randy Wittman looked like a genius playing his own version of small ball, benching the much slower (and largely ineffective Nene) in favor of young spry legs underneath Otto Porter. With Paul Pierce now gone, Read More
