Roundup: 2011-12 Fantasy Basketball Team Previews
by Jason on Oct.27, 2011, under Other, Team analysis
In case you haven’t noticed, yesterday we finished our previews/analyses of each NBA team for what I’m tentatively referring to “2011-12.” I suppose celebrating this accomplishment is akin to hitting a technical free throw and low-fiving imaginary teammates.
Though I’ll spare you the confetti and balloons, I do want to offer this: a simple list of all 30 fantasy basketball team previews. You can also access it atop the website, no matter what page you’re on.
Here’s what’s included in every team preview:
- depth chart (free agents and players locked into overseas contracts are noted)
- list of relevant fantasy players with projected per-game stats
- sleeper
- player most likely to surprise
- player most likely to disappoint
- category specialists
- things to consider
- the team’s statistical ranks in 2010-11
- fantasy-friendliness grade
- fun bonus video
Now I’ll be working on updating those rankings.
