Fantasy League

Hi y'all. Many of those involved in this blog just signed up in a fantasy league (in fact, at 10, the league probably represents more than double our bloggership). I don't, as of yet, have any piercingly insightful comments about the state of fantasy basketball except that it offers up a stark vision of why stats aren't everything. Stephen Curry, and my first round pick, Danny Granger are considered elite fantasy players, whereas Derrick Rose is considered much worse than Chauncey Billups (but not as bad as the awful Tony Parker).

Eventually basketball, and fantasy as well, will be transformed by statistics that measure assists not by made baskets, but by high percentage shots and that measure abilities to draw doubles, fake, confuse, guard well, and other awesome things. Until then, however, Monta Ellis and Gerald Wallace are the men. Here's ESPN's ratings of the best fantasy players.
