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.

This is the inaugural industry dynasty mock draft for The Fantasy Fix, as we’ve typically just conducted purely single season mocks – but not this time – this time we’re running a-mock with dynasty picks. Constantly keeping an eye on the future while swimming with the fishes in the current

Rodney Hood The Fantasy Fix’s Zack Rewis has already mentioned this guy (multiple times I might add, jeez get a room Zack), but I’m going to bat him lead-off for this column (wait I wrote about him for the Fixies too…oh well). Hood showed what he was capable of during

Jarrett Jack is always one of the first names I add to my watch-list immediately following a draft. Such is the life of an effective veteran back-up point guard. The guy just ends up getting minutes wherever he plays, in whatever capacity he has, despite his team often finding his

JJ Redick I know I’ve used this before as have countless others, but JJ has been redickulous lately. Sure, Blake Griffin has returned which has helped open the perimeter up for Redick, while Chris Paul has been playing insanely good lately, but Redick has been the unsung hero in the

Kyrie Irving In case you’ve been sleeping under a rock or you’re hibernating til the Rugby World Cup (just me?) starts in September, you may have missed Irving’s otherworldly shooting performances. If you haven’t seen the Cavs-Spurs thriller in San Antonio, do yourself a favor and watch it, or as

Nicolas Batum There are very few players in basketball capable of putting up the variety of stats this fantasy friendly Frenchman frequently produces. When healthy and involved with the offense, he is truly a unique fantasy contributor because of his combination of rebounds, assists, steals, threes and free throw percentage

Kawhi Leonard Was there a more hyped young player coming into fantasy basketball this season? Anthony Davis, maybe?
