For the six of you who have asked about my rankings and where they’ve been, apologies for the delay! I changed countries and jobs, having moved from London back to New Zealand, but none of that matters as the NBA season is nearly upon us. In less than 50 days

Otto Porter (22-years-old) I blame DeMarre Carroll for the new influx of the ‘jack of all trades, master of none’ fantasy player. Blame might not be the best word, actually for roto purposes it clearly isn’t the best word, but this season has seen late round or waiver wire names
