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.
We know who the big guns are. Karl-Anthony Towns, DeMarcus Cousins, Marc Gasol, they'll all be gone by the third round. If you're lucky, Al Horford, Nikola Vucevic, or Brook Lopez may be available into the fourth and fifth rounds. But after the big names, who can we target at the most critical position in fantasy sports? Let's take a look at some of the underrated fantasy options to target at Center: Still Big? 1. Dwight Howard, Atlanta Hawks Howard's regression the past two seasons in Houston Read More
The NBA is a big, bad, cruel world. Ir simply doesn't care whether you're a top dog in high school, in college, wherever. And it certainly doesn't give a damn whether you can pull off a 1,080-degree dunk (although that will look good on SportsCenter). What ultimately matters is how you fit into a system and if you don't, then it's the other way around: Transforming your game to be more successful. Here are 6 recent NBA players who have been there and done that. 1. J.J. Redick Redick was so Read More
An NBA rookie's life is difficult but once figured out, it could be a gateway for more opportunities and eventually, success. Aside from Karl-Anthony Towns and Kristaps Porzingis who turned out to be formidable sources since Day 1, these 5 sophomores have " FANTASY SUPERSTAR" written all over them. Will they take the next step this season? Only time can tell but we sure hope they do. 1. Justise Winslow, SF, Miami Heat Winslow will step into a bigger role in Miami this season with the departure Read More
The Milwaukee Bucks did not capitalize on its surprisingly impressive 2014-15 season and ended up on the outside of the Eastern Conference looking in. However, from a fantasy basketball perspective, they are a potential gold mine especially if Jason Kidd finds a way to fit the puzzle pieces together. Speaking of fit, last year's prized free agent recruit Greg Monroe sure is an awkward one. It looks like Kidd wanted his spry youngsters to run but Monroe is a half court offense kind of a guy that Read More
The Atlanta Hawks isn't quite rebuilding (re-tooling may be a better word) but they look different from last year. Two of its five starters are gone though they retained most of their bench from last season. Speaking of gone, fan favorite Al Horford is no longer here. Hometown boy Dwight Howard takes his place while the keys to the team's future was handed over to Dennis Schroder as they traded Jeff Teague to Indiana. It remains to be seen how the pieces fit for Mike Budenholzer but since Paul Millsap, Read More
The Houston Rockets roster may not be that much better without Dwight Howard but with the hiring of Mike D'Antoni, they are going to have a lot of fantasy appeal. That as much is true. MDA's system has brought so much fantasy value to teams like the Phoenix Suns, New York Knicks, and the Los Angeles Lakers. Good players like Shawn Marion and Boris Diaw were made fantasy superstars and mediocre ones like Earl Clark and Jeremy Lin were made relevant. Again, they may not be better than they were last Read More
The Los Angeles Lakers have been the Fakers the past few seasons, missing out on a number of big-name free agents and trying to make the best out of the last years of Kobe Bryant. We knew how that turned out. Quietly, though, the Lakers have built a nice young core, not to mention hire one of the brightest young coaches in the game in Luke Walton. Bryant has since retired which means player development will be on full swing and with Walton at the helm, the Purple and Gold figures to be one of the Read More
In fantasy basketball, one of the things that make owners scratch their heads is unpredictability. That won't be the case with the Detroit Pistons. As a direct product of having a veteran head coach like Stan Van Gundy, the Pistons' rotations are as dead set as any team in the NBA right now. It's a double-edged sword for fantasy owners because you already know from the start how minutes are going to be divided from the starters to the benches when everyone is healthy. If they stay that way all Read More
1. Kyle Lowry The Toronto Raptors guard is arguably the best player whenever he steps on the Olympic floor. Need proof? Lowry: 1st in defensive rating, 3rd in net rating. Team USA was +192 with him on the floor. Yeah, he's good. https://t.co/Xj5tAKyPDd — Josh Lewenberg (@JLew1050) August 23, 2016 2. That time when David Robinson decided to steal one scoring title from Shaq on the last day of the regular season... https://youtu.be/BBCNgqYnlZI ... and finished with 71 points, 14 rebounds, Read More
Fantasy basketball is equal parts exact numerical science and equal parts alchemy. Steph Curry, LeBron James, Russell Westbrook, and a dozen or so options in the first round, they are the very definition of exact science. This one we're about to delve into, this is alchemy. I can be wrong, you can be wrong, but most the most important and interesting part of it all, there's nothing more fun than tinkering on the unknown. Here are the 5 potential fantasy breakout performers for the 2016-17 season: 1. Read More
