The 2017-18 NBA season is fast approaching, and thus so is fantasy basketball season. As part of our preseason fantasy coverage here at Off the Glass, I’ll be profiling my top five overall players for 2017-18 season. Without any further ado, here is No. 4. 4. Anthony Davis Yes, Anthony Davis is a walking injury concern and that’s probably not going away. But the dearth of quality big men from a fantasy perspective makes him stand out, and “The Brow” could finish as the top ov

DeMarcus Cousins’ has a reputation for undermining team chemistry by recurrently clashing with referees and coaches instead of focusing his efforts on winning. In Sacramento, he was characterized as a malcontent, blamed as the scapegoat for a perpetually toxic environment. Fair or not, it was obvious by February that Boogie was available via trade, but GM’s were terrified of what he might do to disrupt locker room cohesion. If you’re a small market team, you have to make some

Just a few hour after the NBA All-Star Game, Adrian Wojnarowski dropped the biggest news of the weekend. The Sacramento Kings, after promising DeMarcus Cousins privately and publicly that he wouldn’t be moved prior to Thursday’s NBA trade deadline, agreed to trade the center to the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday night, league sources told The Vertical. The Pelicans are sending guards Buddy Hield, Tyreke Evans and Langston Galloway, and 2017 first- and second-round picks to th

There is a revolution happening before our very own eyes. It is the reoccurrence of the big man taking back their place in the game. So much scrutiny placed on this position in the last few years while guard-dominated basketball has taken over the league. The biggest evidence of this was the center position being taken out of the All-Star balloting. Who is to blame for the declining interest in the position? Analytics? Trends of NBA offense in a copycat league? Maybe it’s a c

The return of Jrue Holiday could not have come any sooner for the Pelicans. I was harsh on the Pelicans for the lack of supporting cast around Anthony Davis and dismal 0-8 start to the season. Part of that was due to team missing a crucial piece to their roster in Holiday. Since the former all-star has returned, New Orleans has dragged their record up to 7-12 and have won 5 of their last 7 with Holiday in the lineup. Suddenly, there is some hope for the Pelicans and their tra

The stat lines and performance of Anthony Davis so far this season have been utterly ridiculous. He even entered conversation with Michael Jordan, starting the season scoring 95 points in the first two games. Through two weeks this season, Davis is averaging an MVP type line of 31.3 points, 10.8 boards, and 3.1 blocks a game. The early season efforts of Davis are truly elite production and MVP type numbers. Despite the fantastic play of Davis, the same cannot be said of the P

We’re past the NBA All-Star break and only about 20 games or so remain in the NBA season. Throughout the year we have seen players feature many different styles of signature shoes. This season I was able to pick up Steph Curry’s Blue and Yellow signature shoe and Kobe’s 10 Elite High Top “American” Themed shoe. During the past couple of months I’ve created a list of more signature shoe releases. I’ve also created a list of possible NBA players who are next up to get their own
