How to Predict Career Years (Draft Guide sample #4)
Besides being former Warriors, what do Mike Dunleavy and Jason Richardson have in common?
In '07-08, Mike-D and J-Rich shot the ball better than ever before and put up career-high numbers in several categories. In fact, you could say they had "career years," and as...
RotoEvil's Weekly Schedule Grid (Draft Guide sample #3)
Most of the Schedule Grids that I've seen on other sites list the Teams on the X-axis and the Weeks on the Y-axis, which doesn't make sense to me. I think it's much more useful the other way around, so every year I create my own NBA Weekly Schedule Grid.

RotoEvil's exclusive 1+ Block, 77% FT club (Draft Guide sample #2)
What do Amare Stoudemire, David West, and Danny Granger have in common? All 3 were mentioned last year in my 1+ Block, 77% FT article.
Throughout history, the top shot-blockers have usually been poor free throw shooters. However, there are a handful of guys who can block 1+ shot...
RotoEvil's exclusive 1+ Three, 47% FG club (Draft Guide sample #1)
When you attempt a lot of threes, your FG% usually pays the price. This is especially true in fantasy hoops, which is why I created the 1+ Three, 47% FG club. In '07-08, only 13 players made the cut. The year before, there were only 12. To qualify, a player must play in 40+ games...

Over the next 10 days, I will be giving you a sneak peak of everything that's included in the guide: from my exclusive clubs & RotoEvil Ratings, to...
Western Conference Coaches & GMs (20 Years Ago)
Here's Part 2 of "What were today's coaches and GMs doing 20 years ago?" Byron Scott, Reggie Theus, Phil Jackson, Terry Porter, Nate McMillan, Chris Mullin, and Don Nelson are featured, among others...
Eastern Conference Coaches & GMs (20 Years Ago)
What were today's head coaches and general managers doing 20 years ago?
Team Preview #30: Miami Heat (Last one!!!)
It took me 45 days instead of 30, but I just finished writing NBA Fantasy Team Previews for all 30 teams. Last but not least is the Miami Heat.
Just click on the link. There's a poll asking where you'll draft Shawn Marion, some trivia questions, and of course, my top sleeper...
Team Preview #29: Oklahoma City Thunder
What do Russell Westbrook, Earl Watson, and Baron Davis have in common?
Team Preview #27: Minnesota Timberwolves
Can Big Al & Kev-Love both average double-doubles?
LAST SEASON
The Timberwolves went 22-60, missing the Playoffs for the 4th year in a row. Randy Foye missed over half the season, but Minnesota simply wasn't a very good team.
They ranked 6th in field goals attempted...
Team Preview #28: Memphis Grizzlies
Assuming the Knicks trade goes thru, how in the world could Employee #8 impact Zach Randolph's fantasy value and future career?
LAST SEASON
The Grizzlies lost 60 games for the 2nd year in a row, and after 6 1/2 years in Memphis, they traded away Pau Gasol. 1st year coach Mike...
Team Preview #25: Los Angeles Clippers
Ricky Davis or Al Thornton?
LAST SEASON
The Clippers were a miserable 23-59, and missed the Playoffs for the 10th time in 11 years. Of course, it didn't help that Elton Brand missed 90% of the season. How bad were they? The Clips finished 27th in rebounds (40.1), 28th in threes...
Team Preview #24: Milwaukee Bucks
PG battle: Ridnour vs. Sessions...
LAST SEASON
The Bucks went 26-56 under coach Larry Krystowiak, and have now lost 110 games over the past 2 seasons. They finished 11th in field goals attempted (82.2), but just 20th in points (97.0) per game, and were mediocre in almost every...
Team Preview #23: Charlotte Bobcats
A few reasons why I don't like Raymond Felton?
LAST SEASON
The Bobcats went 32-50 under 1st year coach Sam Vincent. Their 4-year franchise record now stands at 109-219 (.332) and they've yet to make the Playoffs.
Adam Morrison & Sean May both missed the entire season...
Team Preview #22: Chicago Bulls
Hey, they can't shoot any worse than last season.
LAST SEASON
The Bulls were one of the favorites in the East after winning 49 games in '06-07. But after going 9-16 to start the season, Scott Skiles was promptly fired, and Chicago ended up losing 49 games in '07-08...
Team Preview #21: New Jersey Nets
LAST SEASON
The Nets went 34-48 and missed the Playoffs for the first time in 7 years. Sensing a need to re-build, they traded away the 35-year old future Hall of Famer (Kidd) for a promising 25-year old (Devin Harris).
Despite having an average 91.5 pace factor (16th), they...
Team Preview #20: Indiana Pacers
LAST SEASON
The Pacers won 36 games under new Coach Jim O'Brien, a year after winning 35 games under Rick Carlisle. The difference?
In '06-07, they had a 92.4 pace factor (10th), made 5.9 threes (17th), dished out 20.5 assists (19th), and scored 95.6 points (24th) per...

Here's a little something I wrote to go along with some video clips of one of the most unstoppable young guards in the game today. GET WELL SOON MONTA!
Team Preview #19: Atlanta Hawks
LAST SEASON
The Hawks went 37-45, but still managed to make the Playoffs for the first time in 9 years. Shockingly, they gave the Celtics a better run for their money in Round 1 than the Lakers did in the NBA Finals. I'm not a huge fan of Coach Mike Woodson, but he's improved...
Team Preview #18: Sacramento Kings
LAST SEASON
The Kings went 38-44 (would have been #8 in the East), which was semi-impressive for 1st year coach Reggie Theus considering Bibby, Kev-Mart & Artest all missed a chunk of games. In February, they traded Bibby (the last player left from their '01-02 squad that...

LAST SEASON
The Sixers went 40-42 and made the Playoffs for the first time since '04-05. They put up a fight against Detroit, but lost in 6 games. They were a very poor shooting team, finishing last in 3-pointers made (3.7 per game), last in 3P% (31.7%), and last in FT% (70...
Team Preview #16: Portland Trail Blazers

Rudy Fernandez vs. Jerryd Bayless and a Greg Oden poll...
LAST SEASON
The Blazers had a 13-game win streak in December and boasted a 22-13 record at one point, but finished at an even .500, which wasn't bad considering they lost their prized #1 pick before the season. If...
Team Preview #15: Toronto Raptors
It's time for you to chime in. What will Jose Calderon's fantasy ranking be at the end of the '08-09 season?
LAST SEASON
The Raptors finished 41-41, but lost in the 1st Round of the Playoffs for the 2nd year in a row. Toronto's 90.2 pace factor ranked just 22nd...
Team Preview #14: Washington Wizards
LAST SEASON
Despite losing Etan Thomas for the entire year, Gilbert Arenas for 69 games, and Caron Butler for 24 games, the Wizards still went 43-39, good enough for the 5th-best record in the East.
Unfortunately, they lost to Cleveland in the 1st Round of the Playoffs for the...
