Fantasy Basketball Strategy, Ignition At 24 Years

May 13, 2011 | Fantasy Basketball Daily Notes | 2 Comments

In his mammoth tome, The Book of Basketball, a work I begrudgingly call both comprehensive and wholly entertaining, Bill Simmons shares the theory that 24 is the pivotal age for athletic shooting guards. He uses Jordan, Bryant, McGrady, Wade, a 25-year-old Iverson (lost five months as a high school senior sitting in a jail cell) and David Thompson as examples. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Jared Dudley, 2011 Fantasy Basketball Sleeper

There were three guards I remember teasing in the comment sections of Razzball’s preseason posts back in September/October. The first was Mike Conley, the second was Kyle Lowry and Jared Dudley was third. Why? Are you asking me why I taunted these three or why I remember it? Please, blog, may I have some more?

Jeff Teague, 2011 Fantasy Basketball Sleeper

I suppose I could be a tad blinded by Jeff Teague‘s second-round production in these playoffs, but it’s not as if the 16/2.5/4, with 1.5 steals he’s averaged after four postseason games against the Bulls is somehow disconnected from his future. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Ramon Sessions, 2011 Fantasy Basketball Sleeper

With apologies to Señior Ramon, the only way we’re going to properly pump Ramon Sessions is to properly dump Baron Davis. It has to be this way. It’s a law of nature. Like women always hanging their handbags at the bend of their elbow despite having two free hands. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Top 20 Power Forwards, 2010 Fantasy Basketball

May 4, 2011 | Fantasy Basketball Daily Notes | 2 Comments

by: Adam

Point guards, shooting guards and small forwards have all been accounted for. Now, call this list the “anti-point guards.” With the exception of maybe Boozer, Jamison and Blatche, injuries didn’t dictate the direction this list took. No one here missed more than a dozen games and therefore the difference between the fifth best power forward and the 15th best is akin to the second-best PG and the fifth best PG on that list. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Louis Williams, 2011 Fantasy Basketball Sleeper

When people reflect on the 2010-11 playoffs, they’ll think any number of the following thoughts: 1) Bill Simmons probably went nuts jibbering on about Rudy Gay further proving his “Ewing Theory” that sometimes good players make a team worse. 2) The Heat can turn themselves up to 11, they just haven’t had a reason to yet.

We looked at the top 20 shooting guards for 2010 on Monday. Today? The 20 best fantasy swingmen (“fantasy swingmen” sounds naughty) from the year that was. You know the deal, here’s my preseason Top 20 Small Forwards for 2010. Please, blog, may I have some more?

James Harden, 2011 Fantasy Basketball Sleeper

by: Adam

There are really just two numbers you need to know when it comes to evaluating James Harden. The first is 29.9. The second is 23. And, really, those numbers aren’t even connected to Harden – they’re connected to Thabo Sefolosha, so there. Please, blog, may I have some more?

We looked at the top 20 point guards for 2010 last week and decided that injuries wreaked havoc on most fantasy teams. Today, we decide that the shooting guard position is even weaker than I predicted in the preseason. Yes we will learn that. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Top 20 Point Guards, 2010 Fantasy Basketball

April 22, 2011 | Fantasy Basketball Daily Notes | 2 Comments

As the 2010 fantasy basketball season drifts farther and farther away from us and teams like the Wolves, Kings and Wizards seem like a distant stupid gag played on us in between Lakers games and Bulls matches. Before we completely forget about the pre-postseason NBA league, let’s take a look back on the little guys – the point guards – who in this case are literally the little guys. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Jordan Crawford, 2011 Fantasy Basketball Sleeper

By now the idea of the mildly attractive girl who hangs out with female friends that appear to have done some hard drinking in the Old West just to make herself appear more attractive by comparison is a cliche so overused that it’s no longer true. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Ha! We beat the NBA in handing out awards. This way, if any of our awards coincide with the Association’s awards, I’ll be able to claim the league as a loyal Razzball reader when I solicit companies to advertise on the site. Please, blog, may I have some more?
