Everyone else has underperformed and given me a major headache.


Same.

Disappointments:

Augustin
Anthony Morrow (dropped for Speights)
Brandon Rush (dropped for Delonte West)
Stuckey
Kidd

It was a blessing that I only got beat 6-3 last week.

Augustine,Sessions,SJax all didnt play well for me. I thought Hibbert would play better,same goes for Shaq. Blake Griffin is also out for me. I made some key adds during the week to keep me competitive. I added kapono when he had a big game, then ditched him for dampier who had a good game. The reason i was competitive this week was because of Bosh, Iguodala and Gallinari. I got Gallinari in two leagues late in the drafts.

Chris Kaman. The other managers in my league were so hell-bent on taking potential guys that Kaman fell to the 14th round (in a 10 team league) where I happily grabbed him.

Other pleasant surprise: Eric Gordon living up to expectations on the Clippers

Jennings drafted last round was huge for me. Everyone else on my team is playing like crap. Butler/Jamison injured, and nothing special from others.

Really happy with Jennings though.

J. Noah and A. Brooks have both started better than I expected, especially Brooks. I also think my early Rondo pick has everyone that was talking smack at the draft shut-up now. Louis Williams has also been nice so far.

Carl Landry, my league has fta/ftm instead of ft%, i grabbed in the 13th round of a 14 team draft. Feels like the deal of the draft.

Lopez, Speights... Even Kidd has been a surprise in his own right. I suspected that his 3PT % last year was an aberration, but he's continued to make them at a high clip.

I think Nash is my biggest surprise .... I drafted him in 2nd round thinking this could be my biggest mistake...i mean the guy is 36 years old already...he should be declining ... he really has carried my team so far...

well in my 12 team HTH league I've had a couple of guys come out of nowhere that have really propelled me. First couple weeks it was Speights. Then Gallo got hot and won me 3's singlehandedly a couple weeks.

Noah was a huge steal for me early on but I traded him last week to balance my roster.

Kevin Love and Gallo have been my biggest impact guys that I was able to get in the 10th and 11th rounds respectively. Pretty much my whole team is at or above expectations. Kobe, Lee, Gasol, B-Diddy, all those guys are playing very well so far for me.

I'll go ahead and make a sig bet that Mikal is better by RPM this year than Zach.
