Worst to First

What would you say about a fantasy basketball team in a ten manager league that drafted a starting lineup like this?

(Round - Pick) Player (Yahoo/ESPN ADP)

1 - 7 Kevin Garnett (8.2)
2 - 14 Steve Nash (12)
3 - 27 Allen Iverson (13.15)
4 - 34 Andre Iguodala (27.9)
5 - 47 Baron Davis (15.4)
6 - 54 Paul Pierce (26.1)
7 - 67 Emeka Okafor (72.75)
8 - 74 Jamal Crawford (67.95)
9 - 87 Zydrunas Ilgauskas (82.2)
10 - 94 Leandro Barbosa (72.45)


You wouldn't say that this is a team that deserves to be in last place. But that is essentially what my team is right now and I am at the bottom of the ladder looking at a pair of losses in the opening two weeks.

Right now, only two of the above players, Crawford and Ilgauskas, are outperforming their O-Rank. As the season goes on and the stats start regressing to the mean, this team is going to crush everything in its path. Worst to first, mark my words.
