Wizard of Goz on Fantasy Hoops

Reader/RotoAction contributer John Gozzi has some thought on fantasy basketball (Mike must confess to not following basketball closely since the Knicks traded Patrick Ewing).

NBA Fantasy- The hidden gem

So the game sucks, it's boring, the refs stink, and the players cannot shoot or play defense. On the bright side an NBA boxscore is a work of art. Highly informative , easy to read and brutally honest. Don't go to a game all season, just tune in to ESPN coverage and grab a magazine or cheat sheet and pick a team. Yahoo offers free leagues, private or public. The drafts can be online or offline-stakes or no stakes.

Top five sleepers- based on fifth round or later in a typical ten team league
*Josh Smith, Atlanta: athleticism is off the charts
*J.R Smith, Hornets: not old enough to drink but can fill up the hoop
*Andre Igoudalla, Sixers: Philly stallion
*Kirk Hinrich, Chicago: far from gun-shy leader of the baby Bulls
*Al Jefferson, Boston: the opportunity is there
