Summer League watch: Orlando

At last we have NBA basketball, well kind of. But for me who is not a big fan of college ball, this is a good chance to get to know some of the rookies better and to see how some of the second or third year players have evolved. So lets get on with it.

Teams:

Orlando Magic 

Andrew Nicholson: Pick nr. 19 for the Magic averaged 12.6 pts and 6.8 rebs in 26 minutes in the summer league, there is a small possibility that minutes will open up for him when Dwight leaves, so I will keep an eye on him in very deep leagues. But the lack of fantasy gold means that he will only be worth attention if he gets 25+ minutes. 

Draft day decision: Watch list in deep leagues

Boston Celtics

Jared Sullinger:
The Celtics nr.21 pick in this years draft looked very comfortable scoring the ball and did a good job at rebounding averaging 13.8 pts and 8.3 rebs with 40% FG and an impressive 90% FT with 18-20 shooting. He is still a long shot to get any meaningful minutes for the Celtics as they already have Bass and Jeff green who will play the PF position and even JaJuan Johnson who will steal a minute or 2 in the rotation. Even if he does, he wont produce much besides pts and rebs. Draft day decision: Deep league watch list

Fab Melo:
Purely a defensive player for now, got very little minutes in the summer league. More of a long term project for the Cs, could produce some blocks if minutes open up in case of injuries.
Draft day decision:Deep league watch list

JaJuan Johnson:
The Celtics are looking to give the kid some more minutes, and he did ok in the summer league, but wont be worth drafting in any leagues, barring many injuries.

Dionte Christmas: 
Had a solid summer league averaged 12.2 pts. He had also one really good game and has a good chance in at least making the roster. But wont have any fantasy impact.

Draft day decision:Avoid in all leagues.

Welcome

...to the first post of  my fantasy basketball blog "Draft to Win". I am hoping that sharing my strategies and ideas will help people dominate their leagues. Also as this is my first attempt at blogging or sharing fantasy tips I am hoping for some feedback, positive or negative. Especially on what else people would like to read about or how to make my blog better in general.

"Winning teams aren't born, they are made. And they are made just like anything else, through hard work. And that's the price we'll have to pay to achieve that goal, or any goal."-Vince Lombardi(modified by me :)

 Working to win your fantasy league is not really hard work dough, more like time consuming fun. But as I said it still takes some time, if you do not want to do the work, than just check back here from time to time.
I will produce a

• full team by team draft guide at the beginning of preseason
• summer league progress reports on key rookies for the fantasy season- starting soon. 
• Also analysis on mayor trades, after Dwight has moved on.

Looking forward to that feedback
