“Go after the players entering their primes instead: Outlaw, Howard, West, and Granger.”

I drafted David West in one league and Josh Howard in another (disappointing), but for some reason I let Granger fall too far. He could have really helped out my Man-Beasty FT% as well. D’oh!

Secondly, the roster grid is an invaluable resource in making second half trades.

Thanks again.

I stumbled onto you through 82 games.

I was looking for websites wth useful basketball
information.

Thanks

Was rollin’ with E from draft prep through the whole season, will be back next year.

i’m coming back next year for more.

and i also traded for wade early in the season…

that’s a MONSTROUS backcourt, right? great season ahead…right?

heh…

i guess the lesson is to be careful with dudes coming off of injuries…

Guys that get a block/steal/3 per game are absolutely incredible for stabilizing you in those categories each week (Even the mighty Marcus Camby had some down weeks for blocks). Shane Battier/Granger were pretty integral to the team in that regard.

My second place team was more interesting, I think, because it was built around guys who shoot great FG% while compiling big man stats with low TO. Ran with Rondo/Harris as my back court for most of the season to emphasize a team that featured Amare/Al Jefferson/Tyson Chandler. The finals pairing wasn’t favorable for me at all as I was unable to take points resulting in a 5-4 loss. Shooting ~51% as a team for the season was amusing, though.

I would like to thank you for your advice. With your help I was able to take a Fantasy Roto Crown. I think Roto leagues are definitely the hardest to win.

I particulary liked the schedule grid that your site provided. It was an invaluable resource when making trades in the second half of the season.

Keep up the good work. I am sure you have helped many teams take home the Champions trophy this year.

PS This was the tightest race in the history of our league and I won it on the very last night. Too close for comfort, but worth all those nerve racking nights.

I wasn’t sure what to do with my team before the Duncan trade, and E looked at my roster and suggested I trade him for a top guard because I had other bigs already in Camby and David West. While I hardly used Gordon at all due to his inconsistency and injury, Iverson was most certainly the man (and with Camby they were his #2 duo).

Until I read his stretch-run rankings, I hadn’t realized that Monta was so good. While he didn’t help me very much in 3’s, he was superb in points and steals, and helped out in assists. In fact, I think that in the last 2 weeks of the season, my duo of Monta and Biedrins was probably Top 12 or so.

In the end, I won my head-to-head league as the 4 seed, winning both 2-week playoff matchups by 5-4 scores, so every little bit counted. I won the semi-finals by only 4 steals, for instance. Anyway, Evil definitely knows his stuff and I will be asking his advice again next season for sure!

Jeff – Nice job! So when are you going to buy a Ramon Sessions jersey???

RotoDr – Sweet: 1st time doing fantasy hoops and you won? Glad the rankings helped.

Worldlee – Overcoming the loss of Yao is impressive, but a Bogut/ Horford late round combo is sweet.

Van Huynh – T-Mac for Granger was a steal! Very nice trade.

I’m glad you guys mentioned the 1+ Block/ 77% FT and 1+ Three/ 47% FG articles. In the preseason it didn’t seem like those articles were getting many clicks, but I knew they would be valuable, so I’m glad some people paid attention. I will definitely re-visit those articles before next season!
