Ten Undervalued Stars in Fantasy Hoops

by Tom LorenzoFiled under: NBA Draft Advice, NBA Value Machine, Fantasy BasketballThe NBA referees seem to be on their way back to work, according to Howard Beck of The New York Times. What a perfect way to open up a post about those who are undervalued. This is not only good news for Dwight Howard and Mike Dunleavy, but it's also fantastic news for NBA fans in general. No disrespect to the replacement refs, but you don't want a pediatrician performing heart surgery. All order has bee...

Florida Gators Find Success in Erin Andrews' Bed

Sun, 27 Jul 2008 23:43:30 -0500

ESPN sideline reporter Erin Andrews reveals her superstitious ways, including the magic her bed provided the 2007 Florida Gators basketball team. With Al Horford, Corey Brewer and Joakim Noah, the 2007 Florida basketball team may have had more talent, experience and hair than the rest of the field but sometimes its the intangibles like a gorgeous female sitting in an empty bed yelling at her TV that brings home championships.

Open Forum: Donald Dell Questions

Wed, 12 Sep 2007 20:59:32 -0500

As noted in a comment by former SportsAgentBlog.com contributor, Nicholas Shwayri, the University of Florida Levin College of Law will be hosting Donald Dell on September 14th, 2007 (this Friday) at 2PM. I will undoubtedly be at the event, and will hopefully be able to sit down with Mr. Dell after his speech. This will be a great opportunity to have a personalized conversation with one of the most important sports agents of our time. Thus, I am asking all of you to post any questions that you think I should ask him as a comment to this post before 2PM on Friday. I will try my best to ask Mr. Dell as many of them as possible and post whatever I get out of him sometime next week. Here is what the Florida Law Review had to say about Donald Dell: Mr. Dell is a former Davis Cup team captain and a renowned sports attorney. During his career, Mr. Dell represented such mega-stars as Moses Malone, Patrick Ewing, and Michael Jordan. In particular, Mr. Dell now represents two athletes dear to the hearts of all Gators: Corey Brewer and Joakim Noah. Mr. Dell is also a lecturer at the University of Virginia Law School, where his Professional Sports and the Law course is the most popular class at the law school. Most importantly, Dell created ProServ, Inc. in 1997, which is now known as SFX Sports Group. Please make sure to post your questions, and if you are shy, you can e-mail them to me at heitner@gmail.com. For all my Jewish readers, Happy New Year! Enjoy the apples and honey. -Darren Heitner

Brewer Is A Quick Learner

Sat, 14 Jul 2007 16:20:17 -0500

Only a few minutes into Corey Brewer's second practice with the Minnesota Timberwolves, the action stopped. Brewer is a quick, determined defender, with long arms to clog up passing lanes and instincts that often point him to where the ball is going to be. But like any rookie, there is a learning curve.

Chris Richard Joining Corey Brewer as T-Wolves

Fri, 29 Jun 2007 12:02:11 -0500

Richard gets drafted by the T-Wolves and joins Corey Brewer there. Both were extremely excited last night and were texting each other. They will be in Minnesota for the announcement together. Richard will probably make the roster and be able to hopefully learn from McHale.

The Stellar, Swift, and Smooth Corey Brewer

Sun, 10 Jun 2007 22:33:42 -0500

This article gives information about Corey Brewer and why he will make a big impact in the NBA right away with his winning experience, balanced play, timely offense, and lock-down defense. Based upon such characteristics, he would be a great pick for the Celtics at number 5 (or by mostly any team for that matter).
