Just over five weeks into 2008, let’s take a look at the biggest fantasy basketball busts of the 2008 calendar year so far . . .
Vince Carter, New Jersey Nets
After cashing in this past summer, Vince Carter has been a huge disappointment this season for the Nets. In 2008, he has been even more disappointing. His shooting percentages are down and he’s not playing with any type of fire.
Tracy McGrady, Houston Rockets
Although he has battled various injuries, Tracy McGrady just isn’t playing well enough when he does play. Fantasy owners who used a high draft pick on McGrady and really disappointed with what they’ve received this season.
Ricky Davis, Miami Heat
With all the struggling and injuries on the Heat, you’d think Ricky Davis would at least be putting up numbers. However, that hasn’t been the case at all and as of late, he’s been one of the worst players on the team.
Andrea Bargnani, Toronto Raptors
The 2007 NBA Draft’s number one overall pick, Andrea Bargnani is looking like a total bust. In 2008, despite starting, Bargnani has looked horrible for the Raptors. While he’s still young, Toronto would like to see some improvement out of their second year player.
Carlos Boozer, Utah Jazz
Although the Jazz have been winning at a healthy clip, Carlos Boozer’s numbers haven’t been too impressive in 2008. His numbers have fallen from where they were earlier in the season and the bad news for fantasy owners is there’s little sign that the numbers will go back up.
