2010 RotoRob Basketball Awards

December 24, 2010 / Basketball, RotoRob Awards

Like I said, this one was one of the tightest races in years, and several players deserved this recognition, but the fact that LeBron was the second-best player in Fantasy basketball last season, and he remains a top 10 talent this year cinched it for him. King James was beastly in 2009-10, playing heavy minutes in his final season as a Cav, setting career highs in FG percentage, treys per game, FTs per game and assists per game (8.6) while just missing out on his third 30 PPG season.

Dear RotoRob: How Can I Improve My Team?

December 17, 2010 / Basketball, Dear RotoRob

Again, this is an extremely open-ended question. I’m happy to assess specific deals you have in mind, but it’s difficult to just look at your team and make sweeping suggestions.

NBA Today: Gordon Hayward Starting for Jazz

December 14, 2010 / Basketball, NBA Today

Keeper league owners may want to stash Hayward, but in redraft leagues, it’s obviously going to take more than just an injury to Bell for the rookie to be even remotely worthy of Fantasy consideration. Besides, Bell was a game-time decision on Monday, so Hayward’s run as a starter won’t last much longer if at all.

Dear RotoRob: Peddling Pau

December 10, 2010 / Basketball, Dear RotoRob

By making this deal, you’re going to garner a slight boost in scoring, a nice gain in 3-pointers, a slight lift in rebounding and a decent bonus in steals, while FG percentage is virtually a wash. The blocks category is basically even here as well.

Dear RotoRob: Dealing Stud Point Guards

December 5, 2010 / Basketball, Dear RotoRob

For starters, does your league count FG percentage? If so, adding Curry would definitely be sweet. And if your team is hurting for treys, again, Curry is your man — he can win you that category.

The Wire Troll: Marvellous Marvin

December 4, 2010 / Basketball, The Wire Troll

The man with the friendliest first name in the NBA (pronounced Na-Zee), has seen inconsistent PT, but when he’s gotten burn, the Bobcats’ starting centre has produced. Friday night, he enjoyed his second double-double of the season with 14 points and 11 boards while adding a pair of blocks in 28 minutes. It’s worth noting that this was the most minutes he’s played since his 22-point, 20-board blow up three weeks ago, so clearly Mohammed is no one’s idea of a Fantasy stud. But he will occasionally produce, making him a decent low-level option and one that is almost certainly available.
