Guards
Ty Lawson
Talkin' money?
4,86 $ -> 7,53 $
Up/Downside?
+ 2,67 $
Grade?
A
Original Thought?
Lawson is the new Go-to-Guy in town. He comes into the magic 3rd year, and George Karl loves him. He is expected to step up big time and there is next to no doubt that he will raise his worth a lot. One of the few most-buys here.
Reality?
Everything happened the way we expected it. Lawson did a great job.
Future Perspective?
This year, there may be not that much upside anymore. But: For the next seasons it's not excluded, that he can rock the spot as an franchise star.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Toney Douglas
Talkin' money?
3,89 $ -> 1,80 $
Up/Downside?
- 2,09 $
Grade?
F
Original Thought?
Douglas is the only PG the Knicks have in their roster. Bibby is too old, and was shitty already last year, B. Diddy will step in in 2 months earliest. There is no concurrence, and Douglas is expected to have a great year in his 3rd.
Reality?
Douglas fucked up big time. The foot steps were too huge for him. Even without somebody who could steal his job he was able to fall out of the rotation for a while.
Future Perspective?
Right now it doesn't look good. Davis is returning soon, and Douglas remains an on and off player. Which doesn't mean that we will bet on that horse again next year.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Gerald Henderson
Talkin' money?
$ 3,10 -> 5,09 $
Up/Downside?
+ 1,99 $
Grade?
B+
Original Thought?
Henderson made a huge step forward under new coach Silas, who loves to bring the potential out of his young players. This year is supposed to be Hendersons outbreak. He is a legitimate starter.
Reality?
Everything happened as planned. Henderson had is outcome as an efficient SG, not a star type, but very solid.
Future Perspective?
There is not much upside at this point. He is plain solid, and will continue his production as projected. I don't see any more upside than this in the future too.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Brandon Knight
Talkin' money?
2,80 $ -> 3,05 $
Up/Downside?
+ 0,25 $
Grade?
C+
Original Thought?
Brandon Knight is cheap at his position #8 of the draft. He should immediatly see minutes, maybe soon as starter. The Pistons roster is pretty mixed up, and they need a new advisor in the backcourt, and generally a new guy in town they can trust. Knight happens to be that guy.
Reality?
Kind of what we expected, just not that fast as we wished. He gets better every week, and should be a cornerstone in that fantasyteam until the end.
Future Perspective?
He is still a hot pickup, so every team should go for it, if not already happened. As a rookie the next seasons seems naturally like the golden age for any user you owns him.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Jarrett Jack
Talkin' money?
2,74 $ -> 7,23 $
Up/Downside?
+ 4,49 $
Grade?
A +
Original Thought?
Jarrett Jack is the only legitimate PG in the Hornets squad, and ready to step up after being a backup PG for the last seasons. Because of the lack of good players in NO he should see plenty of offense possibilities, and can emerge as a go-to-guy. All this given, the prize is a joke.
Reality?
Jack turned out to big even better than originally thought. The main reason is because his backcourt partner Gordon was injured all the time, Jack became all the run he needed to step up.
Future Perspective?
There is no higher ceiling than this right now. It's time to sell high as soon as Gordon is back on track. For future purposes it's worth recognizing how good Jack can be.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Jeff Teague
Talkin' money?
1,66 $ -> 5,90 $
Up/Downside?
+ 4,24 $
Grade?
A +
Original Thought?
With kirk Hinrich out for the first month Teague is the only legitimate PG on the squad. He has to step up, and - as the hype is big on him after last years playoff performance - everybody expects him to do so. The prize tag here is beyond ridiculous.
Reality?
Teague brought what we expected him to do. Period.
Future Perspective?
Teague still has kind of upside, but not this year. As soon as Hinrich returns (and is not traded, see entry from jan 13th), he will see a minute cut. He remains worth a look for the next seasons.

Forwards
Danilo Gallinari
Talkin' money?
5,48 $ -> 7,63 $
Up/Downside?
+ 2,15 $
Grade?
A
Original Thought?
Gallinari is the new Nr. 1 option in the offense of the Nuggets. With first Melo, and now Wilson Chandler and J.R. Smith out of town he should see plenty of minutes and offensive action, and shoot the lights out in Denver. His prize is moderate.
Reality?
It did happen, what we expected. Gallo has enough self-confidence to step up enormiously. He had no injury problems, which is really important here.
Future Perspective?
There is not that much upside from this point on. there will be times he could break the 9 Mil mark maybe, but that's about it. If he sticks with this prize during the next years he won't be that interesting given his injury history alone.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Boris Diaw
Talkin' money?
5,19 $ -> 4,27 $
Up/Downside?
- 0,92 $
Grade?
D-
Original Thought?
The Bobcats are unbeliebably thin at the frontcourt. Boris Diaw is literally the only big man that is worth something, and he will see that plenty of playing time, that he is a nice shot at that prize.
Reality?
Diaw indeed had his moments. But in the end, he didn't had the right moral and working ethics (on a team, that will compete for the Top 3 lottery picks). He was inconsistent and even got benched at the end by coach Silas. Something we didn't see coming.
Future Perspective?
Hard to say if Diaw gets his feet back on the ground this year. It will remain a gambling on him, also in the next seasons. Especially if you look at his age and injury concerns.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Dejuan Blair
Talkin' money?
3,78 $ -> 3,96 $
Up/Downside?
+ 0,18 $
Grade?
C
Original Thought?
Blair is coming into his 3rd year and slowly and steadily overtaking the frontcourt from Tim "I get exhausted" Duncan. We are waiting for his complete breakout. This year maybe?
Reality?
Blair is nice, but that's about it. He has his few shiny moments, but all in all he didn't convince. He remains still an role player at this moment. He didn't bring in nearly any upside.
Future Perspective?
We are still waiting. We doubt he will make it this year, but for the next season the old hope for his breakout remains upright.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Paul George
Talkin' money?
2,60 $ -> 4,17 $
Up/Downside?
+ 1,57 $
Grade?
B
Original Thought?
George comes into his 2nd season and is expected to have an high rising, with his huge talent packed. The Pacers love him so much, they cleared the SG spot for him as a starter.
Reality?
Indeed George likes where he is at now. He is on his best way up the ladder, and right now a pretty solid wingman.
Future Perspective?
He will rise steadily. This season a bit more, next season maybe even into the area of 7 Mill. Remained to be strongly monitored.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Derrick Favors
Talkin' money?
2,39 $ -> 2,44 $
Up/Downside?
+ 0,05 $
Grade?
C
Original Thought?
Favors was a the latest and last pickup for this team, mainly because news came out, that he will be a starter for the beginning of the season. He has tons of upside, and with that news it seems clear that he needs to get into the roster.
Reality?
Favors indeed has some shiny moments in the first games of the season, but actually never got the rhythm going. He remains where he started at, and it becomes pretty clear, that he is stuck in the rotation behind to many high quality big man.
Future Perspective?
Is bright like nobodys business. He needs to get more playing time, realistically that will be just possible with a trade either of him or one of his teammates. From that point on expect him to be a beast fantasy wise.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Kenneth Faried
Talkin' money?
0,50 $ -> 0,50 $
Up/Downside?
+- 0 $
Grade?
E
Original Thought?
Faried is a NBA-ready player,a hustler, who can start doing this from day 1 in the league. Denver has a gapping hole at PF with Kenyon Martin out of town. Farieds only opponents for playing time are the always-injured Birdman, and the huge disappointment Al Harrington. We saw Faried getting a playing time of around 20 minutes here, for minimal wage.
Reality?
Faried simply didn't crack the rotation. If he did (3 times), he was good. But he is not considered to be NBA-ready by now. Harrington additionally showed some game surprisingly, and Chris Andersen was not that often injured as we expected. Also, Nêne did see playing time at PF, while Mozgov played the C.
Future Perspective?
Is bright like the heaven. Faried will be a superb NBA-roleplayer digging for boeard and defense. My guess is next year we see him cracking the rotation at latest, if not already at the end of this season (especially if someone goes down). 3 years from now he will be a solid rock. He will be picked up again next season no matter what.

Center
Nêne Hilario
Talkin' money?
6,86 $ -> 5,99 $
Up/Downside?
- 0,87 $
Grade?
D-
Original Thought?
Nêne had an moderate prize for being one of the best C in the league. With losing Chandler, Martin and Smith in the offseason Hilario should have to step up even more right now, and should put up some pretty decent numbers this season.
Reality?
Nêne soon was injured for 3 of the first 9 games. That already made the pick senseless. Besides that, he didn't get into the groove we expected from him. Just since middle of january he started to play decent. Since then he is a good pickup.
Future Perspective?
Right now, he is a brilliant pickup. He is cheap, and started to pick up his pace.
