Day 7 -- Fantasy Gods, Idiots, & Sleepers

Day 7 -- Fantasy Gods, Idiots, & Sleepers

With one week in the books, Monday night showcased a lot of "Forward" progress (pun intended.) Power forwards from every game put up triple threat numbers (pts, assts, rebs). In total there were 11 double doubles in only 5 games on schedule. A nice start for most in the second week of fantasy hoops. Alonzo Mourning was posterized all night long by the Nets, but fantasy owners had to like the 11 boards and 5 blocks he posted.

Is it just me or has LeBron James been a little disappointing as a fantasy player. He's scoring a lot, but his rebounds (3.5) and assists (5.0) are a far cry from the 7.0 per game average last year.

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.
