Massive Suns fan first and foremost, but really if it's NBA, I'm into it -especially fantasy NBA. Realised a life-long dream by seeing the Suns in person with a bunch of mates, road tripping round the East Coast of the US in 2009, culminating in a week long stay in Phoenix. I'm also a massive sports fan in general, removing a huge monkey off my back when I got to see the All Blacks win the 2011 Rugby World Cup in person.

Thaddeus Young Thaddeus Young is one of those players I never draft, but at some point during the season I always think ‘hmmm, should I trade for him?’, but then he does something negative by either disappearing altogether or shooting his way out of the good stretch that made me

Every fantasy season there are question marks. Injuries, trades, contract years, new coaches, rotation battles, international players and rookies, to name just a few. These 26 players (13 in this article) all have some sort of question mark surrounding their fantasy game, so I delve into their role and stats

Every year fantasy basketball rankings get put out, read, deciphered, flipped through, browsed, debated, loved, praised, hated and then finally thrown away. This year is no different, as the two heavy hitters in fantasy basketball hosts have both released rankings of hundreds of large athletes under the veil of maths, prompting

I’m always slightly dubious about tweener forwards whose game is predicated on athleticism, but Aaron Gordon looks like a player who is driven to become an NBA player, not just an NBA athlete. From Tyrus Thomas to Michael Beasley through to Derrick Williams and Anthony Bennett, the NBA is littered
