The NBA season is winding down...

...And here are the two most shocking and disappointing things that happened this season fantasy-wise and not.

#1 That Magic trade...
We all were looking forward to a great run by the Magic after that trade they made this year. They got their star back in Hedo, gave up Lewis who was doing terrible, and all the commentators on TNT thought they would be unstoppable, but...
Gilbert shot 34% from the field, and under 30% from 3. coming off the bench, this isn't great.
Another player- Jason Richardson saw almost every stat drop, including his points, his 3 point percentage, and his free throw percentage. This, as you may have seen, didn't fit so well with the Magic or your fantasy team!
Also- they got no bench!! Malik Allen, Earl Clark and Chris Duhon. enough said there.
Sadly, their season ended in the first round, which was yet another disappointing playoff run for Orlando.

#2 The Draft
And how bad some of the players came out to be in their first year- No complaints on Wall and Wesley Johnson. But let's start with Evan Turner. I don't have anything against him, and he seems like a nice guy and all, but was drafted second, and avgs 7.2 ppg per game. he also struggles with his jump shot, which he'll have to work on this summer. He came in with so much hype. Maybe it's a rookie slump? We have to wait and see..
Another player- Derrick Favors. Terrible free throw shooter, but not a bad defender getting about a block a game and 5 rebounds. but his scoring is atrocious, gets 6.8 ppg. This is just disappointing for a 2nd pick.

Well that about rounds up this post and the NBA season...keep looking back for articles about the MLB and ways to help your team.
