Dynasty Battle – Tyus Jones vs. Dejounte Murray
Tom will be battling in favor of Tyus Jones and Alex in favor of Dejounte Murray. Round 1: I thought you were going to pick a player that would be harder for me to argue against. Dejounte Murray? The tall “point guard” with an 18 percent assist rate? My man
Digging for Diamonds: Lucas Nogueira
On June 27, 2013, the Boston Celtics selected Lucas Nogueira with the 16th overall pick in the NBA Draft. By June 29, 2014, Nogueira had already been traded three times (twice on draft night alone), and had not played a single minute of professional basketball. This is where our unsung
Digging for Diamonds – Juan Hernangomez and Thon Maker
In recent months I’ve examined hoops prospects I find interesting that may be worth acquiring or picking up on the waiver wire, depending on the size of your league. In yet another International Men of Mystery version of Digging for Diamonds, I’ll focus on 2016 1st round picks, Juan Hernangomez and Thon
Top 200 Dynasty Basketball Rankings, February 2017
A quick primer on these #Dynasty200 ranks for newcomers: These are designed with 9-category, H2H leagues in mind. If you play in a roto league, I recommend fading the category ruiners like Dwight Howard. If you play in an 8-category league, you can give a bump to volume guys with massive
Digging for Diamonds: Ivica Zubac and Ante Zizic
After riding the bench for most of the season, Lakers’ rookie center Ivica Zubac has posted three double-doubles in the last ten days despite playing fewer than 30 minutes in each contest. Born in a country that definitely exists – Bosnia and Herzegovina – Zubac played against top competition in Serbia before
Digging for Diamonds: Caris LeVert and Montrezl Harrell
In the last edition of Digging for Diamonds I wrote up Willy Hernangomez and Richaun Holmes, a couple of intriguing “per minute darlings “that have yet to find consistent playing time. This time around, I’ll look at two prospects who have recently benefitted from more playing time – Caris LeVert and Montrezl
The 2014 and 2015 NBA Draft Classes: Buy, Sell, Hold, or Drop
BUY Disregarding the big names who have already broken out and become established stars. These players are ones to target now before they firmly establish their value. TJ Warren: Started off the season hot, went down with an injury, and has been up and down since his return. What he
Digging for Diamonds: Richaun Holmes and Willy Hernangomez
I’m a sucker for two things when it comes to dynasty basketball prospects – efficiency and sexy defensive stats. If players are efficient, they’re more likely to get playing time and put up stats. Sexy defensive stats make for a high floor, because the player can be deployed as a useful specialist at minimum. That’s
Dynasty Hoops Breakouts: Buy, Sell or Hold
When a blue chip prospect such as Karl Anthony Towns plays well, we can be reasonably sure that his production is a legitimate reflection of his true talent. On the other hand, when less heralded prospects break out it can be harder to trust their production will hold long term. Here’s my
Dynasty Battle: Zach LaVine vs. Andrew Wiggins vs. D’Angelo Russell
Since my initial #Dynasty200 I’ve ranked these three Russell, Wiggins and Lavine, though I considered placing LaVine ahead of Wiggins in my December update. This is an interesting debate to me because Russell provides the most upside, LaVine has the most present value and Wiggins boasts the pedigree of the first overall pick.
