Day 3 -- Fantasy Gods, Idiots, & Sleepers

Day 3 -- Fantasy Gods, Idiots, & Sleepers

Despite only two games last night, there were a lot of key fantasy players on the court, and one devastating injury. If you haven't already heard, Shaq will be on the shelf anywhere from two to four weeks. If you believe in Reggie Miller's words, "That looks like a monther." Alonzo Mourning will take over as the starter, if you need blocks and boards go get him. While you're at it, you might want to drop Jason Williams, he looks terrible, and Gary Payton could take over as the starter.

These stats are what fantasy basketball players concern themselves with and pay more attention to their "guys" instead of the final score. There are three types of performances to describe players from last night, they are "Godlike", "Damn You [<font size=""1"">Insert Curse Word</font>] Idiot", and "Yes My Sleeper Came Through, I Told You So".

[imgl]http://www.justbball.org/data/5/7/7/b/c/302//god.jpg[/imgl]Godlike - Are players who, provided you the best stats across the various statistical categories used in fantasy basketball leagues. These are players who put up stats worthy of being a Top 25 selection.

[imgl]http://www.justbball.org/data/5/7/7/b/c/302//idiot.jpg[/imgl]Damn You [<font size=""1"">Insert Curse Word</font>] Idiot - Are players you thought were "Godlike", but stunk it up instead and had you cursing at your poor judgement in selecting that letdown player too, early in your draft.

[imgl]http://www.justbball.org/data/5/7/7/b/c/302//itoldyouso.jpg[/imgl]Yes My Sleeper Came Through, I Told You So - These are players you drafted in the later rounds and typed out in all caps "HE'S MY SLEEPER THIS YEAR!" or "HE'S A STEAL THIS LATE IN THE DRAFT!" Basically these players exceeded everyone's expectations except your own.

These categories include, Points, Assists, Rebounds, Field Goal %, Free Throw %, 3 Pointers, Blocks, Steals, & Turnovers.
