FANTASY BASKETBALL Russell Westbrook, the rebuilt Warriors and other opening night takeaways!
Welcome to the DAY 1 of a thousand overreactions. (Most will be about Russell Westbrook. We will do our best to avoid.) The 2021 NBA fantasy off-season lasted about 48-72 hours. (Up from 2020's 48-72 minutes.) We have plenty of data points, hot takes and preseason observations to lend us a deep-dish perspective.
For you young people: once upon a time (2018-19) the Warriors operated the most fantasy- friendly offense in basketball. They led the NBA in offensive efficiency, were top-10 in pace, and curated a predictably short rotation. The Durant-Curry-Thompson-Green Warriors set an all-time standard when it came to reliable, rock-solid, high-return fantasy production. Then Thompson got hurt in the Finals. Durant decamped. Curry lost his season just a few games into 2019-20. Thompson got hurt again.
Across the NBA, an underrated early fantasy storyline: how will teams coming off rocky, back- o-back-ridden 2020-21 seasons respond to regaining complete health?
