It’s twenty-seven (27) games into the season and while it is too early to pass judgment on players, there are certain ones that are worth at least taking a look at. Tampa Bay Ray Evan Longoria is one of those players.

Rafael Soriano Is Back
Rafael Soriano’s pre-Tommy John surgery scouting report had him throwing a 96 mph 4-seamer. Well, it’s a couple years post-op, and Rafael’s got every one of those 96 mph back.
He was always a fastball/slider pitcher, and at 96 that’s probably good enough to be a very effective 8th inning man. But you’d love to see [...]
Yao Vs. Shaq
Yao’s going off for 19 points and 9 boards/game. Obviously that’s not enough for a Rockets team that’s 2-4. The interesting thing, at least to me, is that his production didn’t climb in McGrady’s absence. He was the same old 19 ppg Yao. That kind of production is just not commensurate with his tremendous skill [...]

Will Mike Dunleavy Ever Do Anything?
Mike Dunleavy Scouting Report
Mike Dunleavy had another bad night on Friday. We’re only 6 games into the season, but an 8 point average over 33 minutes has got to be raising a few eyebrows in the fantasy community. When is this guy going to wake up and produce?
Dunleavy, 25, was the Warriors’ 1st round [...]
Brevin Knight Scouting Report
You may be wondering where Brevin Knight gets off going for 15 assists and 3 steals/night. Well, he’s playing 34 minutes/game for a 2nd year expansion team and he’s taking 10 shots/night. Considering the ball touches his hands after every opposition bucket it’s not surprising that he’s racking up all those assists.
Charlotte’s giving up [...]
Joel Przybilla Scouting Report
I’m not sure why I’m writing up Przybilla, but there’s just something intriguing about this guy. In 23 minutes last night he picked up 5 blocks, and only 1 personal foul. You’d have to think a defensive presence like Przybilla would have trouble staying out of foul trouble, but that wasn’t the case. Five blocks [...]

Marko Jaric Scouting Report
Some hardcore fantasy basketball players may remember the emergence of Marko Jaric as a steals monster early in the 2004 season . He climbed onto the radar with big assist-steals night in Los Angeles and remained a viable fantasy option until hurting his knee and back couple times and going down for most of the [...]

Marcus Camby Scouting Report
How could I avoid writing up a guy who picked up 17 boards last night? Well, this little blurb isn’t so much praise as it is a warning.
With Nene out for the season, Marcus Camby is the clear and unquestioned #1 centre in Denver. He’s 31, he’s extremely frail, and his career high in games [...]
Andre Iguodala Scouting Report
Four personal fouls limited Andre to 23 minutes in last night’s contest vs. the Bobcats. But in limited time he went 7-9 from the field, notching 15 points to go with 4 rebounds, 3 assists, and a steal.
In 82 games last year AI Pt.II averaged 9 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steals/night. [...]
Scouting The Hybrid GF and FCs
Josh Howard Scouting Report
Josh Howard, 1st round pick, 29th overall. At 6’7” he’s part of the new NBA trend that’s seen tweeners at the PF/SF turned into to hybrid G/F. Howard put together a nice regular season in ‘04/05, giving you 13 points/game with 6 boards, a couple of assists, a block every other [...]
A Terrific Basketball Site
While we get settled in and add writers (you’ll note that we have added a golfing section and there are a few more writers coming on board very shortly) it is worthwhile to point out a great basketball site that I stumbled across tonight. True Hoop is written by Henry Abbot and has a very [...]
