Although Tracy McGrady has been gimpy for much of the 2008-09 NBA season, he recently posterized Tyrus Thomas. You can see a video of the Tracy McGrady dunk at the end of this entry.
In the video, McGrady took the ball hard to the rim and dunked it on Thomas as he went for the block. If you’ve watched McGrady this season, you know that he hasn’t been taking the ball to the hole very much at all. He’s been relying on his perimeter jumper and as a result his field goal percentage is currently 39.2% and he’s averaging only 15.8 points per game.
In the fantasy world, McGrady has been very disappointing. Right now, he’s so injury prone and so undependable that he’s probably hurting fantasy teams more than he’s helping.
Is there hope for McGrady this season? It doesn’t look like it but his last four games should give fantasy owners hope. His numbers are much better and even his shooting percentage is respectable.
That said, McGrady isn’t a good buy low at this point. He’s too much of a risk to give up anything of quality. If he’s on your team already, you might as well keep him a while longer to see if his recent good play is a sign he’s coming back or just a mirage.
Here’s the Tracy McGrady video of his dunk on Tyrus Thomas:
