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 …read more

1) Jason Kidd, New Jersey Nets
Kidd has had a rough year shooting the ball, but recently he’s been struggling even more in that department. As a result, his scoring is dropping to dangerously low levels. He’s also rebounding less and turnover the ball over more than usual – which is obviously a bad combination.

Keep an eye on Salmons and Garcia …read more

After the Timberwolves traded away Kevin Garnett and entered full throttle rebuilding mode, everything you used to know about that team has to go out the window. Without Garnett, this Minnesota squad is a totally different team with different goals.
No longer will the T’Wolves be thinking championship, instead their main goal will be to locate and grow their young core players. It’s going to be another two or three years until people in Minnesota seriously consider the T’Wolves a playoff team.
What makes this situation tough is there are so many players on the T’Wolves who may or may not be …read more

While there are tons of good shooting guards available in this years fantasy NBA draft, there are some shooting guards you should steer clear from drafting, These three shooting guards are overrated and shouldn’t be selected around their average draft position.
Kevin Martin, Sacramento Kings
Martin had wonderful stats last season and was a great story, He’ll continue being an important part of the Kings’ attack, That said, he’s not a top ten fantasy shooting guard as some are stating, He doesn’t do enough other than score and even his scoring dipped as the season went on last year, Look for other …read more
