Wow, what a first week! It had everything, dribbling, shooting, minor injuries - even the great game by Larry Hughes to make the lesser folk think they should pick him up (don't worry, the 2-11's and 4 turnovers should be coming up any minute now). There were some good weeks, no doubt. Melo had a serious week, averaging 37.7 and 7 boards and sick percentages for the week. I will say though, if you drafted Carmelo, you wanted points with a smattering of boards. That's what you got. So while his week was great (Basketball Monster's #1 player for the week), his delta wasn't greatly above and beyond what you wanted from his draft spot (Yahoo ADP 27.5).
No, I'm going to go with the guy who seriously outperformed his draft position, the guy I got with pick #144 in the Give Me The Rock mock draft, the Fyre Guy, Channing Frye. He got nearly 20 points per for the week, and a good-for-him/poor-for-a-center 5.7 boards per game. But brother, it's the freakin' 13 threes he made this past week. Dude, when you get that from your center and add it to hopefully some of the guards you drafted (read: not Andre Miller), that wins categories for you and in turn weeks. Hey, what do you know, I won 3's by 12 this week, what a coinky-dunk.
I liked Danilo Gallinari, Andy Blatche, Louis Williams, and Marc Gasol this week as well. D12 and Kobe put up numbers befitting their draft. Rondo will be a sweet play for everyone lucky enough to get him. This week, POTW is going to be harder fought for, as 15 teams play 4 games this week. The Spurs only play 2; thankfully, there is no one on Los Spurs worth building your team around; go right ahead and bench Tim Duncan for one of the several times you will do so this year.
