If you want a good laugh, just look at Rotoworld’s “LATEST NBA DEPTH CHARTS” and scroll down to Milwaukee.

Yeah, neither guy is even worth consideration unless you’re going 200 deep. Just be ready if/when K-Mart or Nene gets hurt. I like Balkman’s hustle, but his offensive game is pretty limited. I think he’ll help Melo out a lot in reality, but won’t help others much in the fantasy realm.

Even when healthy, itâ€™s doubtful that either K-Mart or Nene is going to pull down 10+ boards per game, so there are rebounds to be had…

…and these rebounds go to newly acquired Mr. Balkman…

Am I right guessing that most probably neither one (Balkman, Andersen) should be drafted in a 12 teams/12 (or even 13) rounds league…?

Thanks elfboy. Sounds like an interesting salary formula.

Al Jefferson’s stats are definitely going to take a hit, and not just because of Love. Last season, Big Al averaged 17.6 FG attempts per game and pulled down 11.1 boards. Rashad McCants was 2nd on the team in FG attempts at just 12.6 and Gomes was 2nd in boards at just 5.8. That was with Gomes playing a lot of power forward. Now Love is in town, and I heard Love say that he can get 5 boards a game just by standing under the basket. Gomes will play more at the 3 this year, meaning their rebounding from that position will be improved. And don’t forget about Mike Miller, who was the LEADING rebounder at SG last year. So yeah, no way Big Al pulls down 11. His shot attempts are sure to come down as well. Randy Foye is healthy now and will be looking to score, and you know Mike Miller needs his shots. Thus, Jefferson will have a hard time averaging 20 and 10 this year, let alone 21 and 11.

Alright, some quality analysis for a change! I’ve a feeling I’m going to be on this site a lot, especially once my keeper league (I’m commish) gets running.

Actually, I’m experimenting a keeper league where the amount of players each team keeps is based on a pre-agreed (hard) salary cap. Fantasy players salaries are calculated based on how the player performed the previous season (formula: fantasy points per game average multiplied by fantasy points per minute average = salary that counts against salary cap.) e.g. VC average 24.1 Fantasy PPG and 0.80 Fantasy Pts per Minute, so 24.1×0.80 = 19.28 (million) to keep him on your team for next season. The better the player played last season, the higher his salary to keep on your team.

Oh, question, Kevin Love is going to get tons of minutes, but wouldn’t his rebounds and ball touches mean that Al Jefferson’s all-round stats go down this season?

And I can’t wait for your team-by-team analysis. Go Kings.

Dang. GS matches offer sheet to Buike. Good for GS, sucks for ClipperNation.

Yeah, TrueHoop has some great thoughts on J-Chill. I say good for Childress! No good for Atlanta fans tho. Remember when they were loaded at forward? Not anymore.

If the NBA pulls its head out of its ass this shouldn’t hurt them too much, but Commish Stern seems content to just rake in money, keep a smug smile on his face, and continue being oblivious to many things.
