Like roughly two-thirds of the Western world’s population, I’ve decided to start a blog. Of monomaniacal focus. Statsheet Stuffin’! will be a weblog devoted wholly to Fantasy Basketball, for those boxscore-scouring geeks who long to have incessant updates on the statistical minutiae of the NBA season. My fantasy hub of choice is Yahoo! Fantasy Sports, through which I fake-ball in both head-to-head and rotisserie modes; and so player-ranking specifics will refer to that game (though be, of course, translatable to all manner of other forums and formats). Whilst Yahoo!’s own dedicated coverage has come a long way in recent seasons, there still seems to be a distinct void in regards to up-to-the-minute, geek-focused Fantasy opinions. Rest assured, they will be here, in obsessive detail.
This week, with training camps opening up, and the first pre-season game looming on Saturday, I’ll take a prognosticating approach to the season. Before a boxscore is even in the books, this week’ll bring you breakdowns on: Break-Out Performers, Super Sleepers, Bounce-Back Candidates, and Alarm-Bell Sounders, finished up with assessments on the potential of the Incoming Rookies.
Once pre-season games start up, we’ll have a look at developing situations. Like, how minutes will be doled out in positions —like the Trailblazers’ PG spot— that, at the moment, provide no certainties at all. And how rookies are performing. And who’s playing over their heads, who’s struggling, and what that’ll mean for the regular season.
Whilst starting this blog will possibly cramp my own GM-ing style —after all, it’s hard to hone in on draft-day sleepers when you’ve already publicly alerted all your rivals of your ones-to-watch— I figure there’ll be far great reward for sharing these treasured opinions with the world. So, to all the fantasy ballin’ dorks of the world, I salute you.
