Fantasy Review For 2018/19 Season: Josh Richardson’s didn’t manage to become a team leader, Dragic fell off a cliff again, Waiters was a pure and injured bust, James Johnson since signing a new contract is on a continous decline and Justise Winslow was inconsistent as always. On top of that their best fantasy player Hassan Whiteside looked like he lost his passion to the game and got outplayed by Bam Adebayo. Only Bam Adebayo came out to be a massive surprise as he finished the season in starting five, as a he finished as top50 roto player for the last […]

Fantasy Review For 2018/19 Season: It was a franchise reshaping season on court, off the court and fantasy wise. Off the court they’ve changed their coaching staff and training approach with Jim Boylen, an oldschool pushups&suicides coach took over. Somehow he won young guys hearts and the team started rolling with a new, more defensive approach. Fantasy wise it looks like it was “a year before” for almost all of their fantasy relevant players. Zach LaVine became an impressive scorer but with some holes in other stats, Markkanen was very inconsistent in his play, Wendell Carter Jr had some flashes […]

Fantasy Review For 2018/19 Season: It was the very first season in Brad Stevens career when he was coaching a favourite instead of a dark horse kind of team. And while everybody had extremely high hopes for Celtics their season ended with the meltdown, and some bad vibes coming from the locker room. What is easy now is to blame Kyrie and the way Gordon Hayward been treated by the coaching staff, but probably what caused all of that mess was simply a fact that many of their young players faced a premature success a season before. If half of […]

Fantasy Review For 2018/19 Season: They have overperformed, especially if you think about their bumpy road to playoffs. Caris LeVert was their best player to start the season, but than he suffered a gruesome injury. After that Spencer Diwiddie took over as team’s leader… and he also got hurt. Only than D’Angelo Russell took the stage, went to another level and led a team for a midseason run, that evetnually gave team the playoffs appearance. Even after Dinwiddie’s and LeVert’s comebacks DAR remained a team leader… and now he is gone. Changes in the offseason Lost = D’Angelo Russell, Allen […]

Fantasy Review For 2018/19 Season: In the first year post Chris Paul they lacked stars but they collected many quality players [based on the averages 7 were in the Top150 for 9-cat, 8 if we count Blake] though this depth was a little bit of mirage because of the injuries three of them played a combined total of 93 games. The main story of the season was probably how quickly they changed the course with Blake Griffin by trading them instead of following on the promise of Clipper-for-life but Lou Williams and Tobias Harris nicely stepped up into the void […]

Fantasy Review For 2018/19 Season: Their 2018/19 season was an exact opposite of a season 17/18. This time Myles Turner heavily outplayed his average draft position blocking astonishing 2.7 blocks per game, but the rest of the starting five (other than Bojan Boganovic) didn’t live up to hype. And if you drafted Oladipo, you probably lost your league. After all Pacers pulled together a solid but rather disappointing season. Changes in the offseason Lost = Thad Young, Bojan Bogdanovic, Darren Collison, Cory Joseph, Tyreke Evans, Kyle O’Quinn Added = Malcolm Brogdon, Jeremy Lamb, TJ Warren, TJ McConnell, Goga Bitadze Projected […]

Fantasy Review For 2018/19 Season: The big mainstream story for the Spurs was Kawhi’s departure and an arrival of DeMare DeRozan and Jakob Poeltl. Leonard wasn’t the only guy missing there, as San Antonio started the season also without Dejounte Murray (torn ACL) and Derrick White (minor injury that sidelined him for quite some time). Even with those adversities, they’ve managed to get into the playoffs, thanks to fantastic play by Rudy Gay and LaMarcus Aldridge and wizardry performed on coaching bench by Greg Popovich. The other, less known story is a fact that they have managed to create sixth […]

Fantasy Review For 2017/18 Season: It was a first season of Luka Doncic reign and the one when they have traded for Kristaps Porzingis. No one ever will mention it to you other way. It might have been a franchise settling season like the one of 2011/12 when Warriors laid the foundation for their future success, rolling with the Splash Brothers duo, trading for Andrew Bogut and drafting Harrison Barnes, Festus Ezeli and Draymond Green. Fantasy wise they had only 4 relevant players, none of them being really good. Even Luka, as exciting to watch as he is, didn’t made […]

Fantasy Review For 2018/19 Season: The team went through revolutionary changes, quickly transforming from a wannabe contender to full rebuild mode. In a half year span, they have traded all of their big three – Mark Gasol to Championship, Alcohol and Toronto Raptors, Mike Conley to Jazz and their contention dreams and Chandler Parsons to Hawks for a chance of getting rid him and his enormous contract. Also, during the season, Jaren Jackson Jr emerged as their potential new franchise player, few young players shown flashes of potential (Anderson and Caboclo) and Jonas Valanciunas, aquired in Marc Gasol trade turned […]

Fantasy Review For 2018/19 Season: Coach Budenholzer reshaped their playing style around Giannis Antetokounmpo, trying to make the most out of their young leader abilities. Judging on the results – best standing after a regular season and the MVP award for Giannis, it worked out pretty well. Their next step will be geting to the NBA Finals, as all of their imperfections got exposed last year by Kawhi Leonard and the Raptors in Conference Finals. Changes in the offseason Lost = Malcolm Brogodon, Nicola Mirotic Added = Wesley Matthews, Robin Lopez, Frank Mason, Dragan Bender The Brogdon loss must be […]
