A Guarantee
Unlike Mo Williams, I like to think I can deliver on my guarantee’s. I won’t make many of them, in fact, they will be very few and far between. But, here is the first for season 2010-11.
That file contains my draft notes from season 2009-10. I think the total time spent on creating it was approximately 37 minutes. Spelling mistakes and all. It’s not recommended reading although there might be a few chuckles at certain points. My personal favourite, which I think I have referenced before, “Yi (17-9? Treys)”. Optimistic? Yes. Thoughtful? No.
Anyway, the reason I bring this up is that I plan on doing a better set of notes this year, but also organising them into some kind of ‘draft guide’ which will be publically available. I’ll upload it on the side of the site when it’s done (aiming for early October). If there is any particular subject which people wish to know my thoughts on (not promising expert analysis here), then leave a note and I’ll make sure to include it. It won’t be as comprehensive as some draft guides (Yahoo, Basketball Prospectus, GMTR to name just a few) but if you are just a casual fantasy basketball fan, you are my audience.
I’ll also be running a few leagues, if there is any interest. I had a great time in the GMTR readers league last season, but would love a league with a bit more chatter, trades and personality (read: abusive smack talk). That’s still a few months away yet, but keep it in mind if you feel you would be to be berated by my friends who think they know more than you about fantasy basketball.
Over the next week or two, Jason (from fbasketballblog) and I will be doing a series of posts which aim to build a 12 team league over 13 rounds. We hope it makes sense, but it might all fall apart. Jason will be up first, with Round 1 up next week sometime, after which, I will respond with Round 2. Repeat.
Finally, thanks to Trey Kerby at Yahoo’s BDL blog for the shout out. It’s really good to see big websites still offering to help out the unknowns in the blogsphere. Much appreciated.
Wow, kudos on the big-time shout-out! Well deserved. I’m looking forward to the two-man draft!
