I have to admit, I was brainstorming and thinking of different ways to write an introductory paragraph about how the NBA was back, but for some reason I just couldn’t come up with anything. I wrote out the ubiquitous Star Wars reference about Episode V, but didn’t want to appear too fanboyish the first time out. Then Apocalypse Now hit my head with that whole “I love the smell of…,” but thought of the connotations and chucked that idea. Then the Rodney Dangerfield classic, Back to School came to mind and how the NBA doesn’t get any respect, but didn’t want to go on a diatribe validating the League.
So, what am I saying?
I watch entirely too many movies, but I’m also way too excited about the NBA being back to think straight. However, I’ll pop in Brad Pitt’s Meet Joe Black into the DVD player to bore me and calm my nerves enough to write this article.
(Ten minutes later; yeah, that quickly)
During the regular season, the aim of Stat’s All Folks will be to take a stock market look at the standard cumulative categories – points, assists, rebounds, three-pointers made, steals, and blocks. I’ll be calling out the “bulls” and “bears” in each category, in order to help you assess your portfolio of players on your fantasy basketball team(s) and whether you should sell, hold, and/or diversify your assets.
Here’s the preseason installment of Stat’s All Folks. Jagshemash, NB and A!

Dropping Dimes Draft Blog: Round 7, Pick 6
Posted by Ron Chow Categories: Central Division, Chicago Bulls, H2H, Roto, Site Features,
Jessica Simpson is very attractive. She is not a very good actress and if you want the odd cover song redone she can do an adequate job. Jessica is not the sharpest knife in the kitchen; remember her “Chicken of the Sea” comment on her Newlyweds reality show. Jessica Simpson is a looker and not much else. She is a one-trick pony.
Ben Gordon is my Jessica Simpson pick. This other Ben in Chicago can fill the net with ease as his leading the Bulls in scoring last season can attest to. Any other fantasy contribution from Ben is gravy. As Jessica, Little Ben is a one-trick pony. Check out the rest of the article to see what Ben can or cannot bring to your fantasy team.
Round 7, Pick 6: Ben Gordon, PG/SG, Chicago Bulls

Andres Nocioni is the “Argentinean Pitbull.” He is relentless on defense and fearless in crashing the boards. Case in point in the picture, Nocioni is giving a lesson to the New York Knicks on how to grab a rebound. In fact, I will wager my NYC counterpart that Nocioni will out rebound both Eddy Curry and Channing Frye this year!
Round 5, Pick 6: Andres Nocioni, SF, Chicago Bulls

Round 4, Pick 2: Kirk Hinrich, PG/SG, Chicago Bulls
Just about everyone remembers the top five of the 2003 NBA Draft:
1) LeBron James - The kid who became a man and found witnesses to his greatness almost immediately.
2) Darko Milicic - The other kid whose potential never surfaced until he found some Magic.
3) Carmelo Anthony - If LeBron has the potential to be one of the best ever and Wade has his ring, where will Melo fit in when all is said and done?
4) Chris Bosh - Smooth big man makes the game look easy and is reppin’ Canada to the fullest.
5) Dwyane Wade - The first to get a ring that showed just how good he could be during an amazing Finals run.
But what about those players outside this sphere of current and future greatness? I bet most would forget that Chris Kaman was taken right after Wade at sixth overall. It took him a little longer to break out, but he eventually did last season. And at the seventh pick? Well, he played well enough to join four of the top five picks (James, Anthony, Bosh, and Wade) on the All Rookie first team and finished in the top eight in total assists and assists per game average. Of course, all you have to do is look at the picture to know who I’m talking about - Zydrunas Ilgauskas. Just kidding.
This is all about Kirk Hinrich, his world, and the fact that we’re all squirrels in it just trying to get a nut.

Round 2, Pick 10: Ben Wallace, PF/C, Chicago Bulls
After signing a four year, $60 million dollar deal during the offseason to join the Chicago Bulls, there are big expectations for the team this upcoming season. Can one man really make that much of a difference? Well, when you have personnel in place and have the foresight and vision on how you want to build a team, the answer is YES. Big Ben Wallace will make a difference on the Bulls and guess what.
He can make a difference for your fantasy basketball team as well.
