Around SBN: Carmelo Anthony, Amar'e Stoudemire Vow To Fit In With Lin

First Whore Post of November

9780879463724_medium

Most people probably saw this coming, especially after yesterday's mention, but I'd like to officially announce that I am a part of the Graphical Player 2009 staff. To be more concise, I actually wrote the Rays profiles. Because that's not enough reason to buy the book I will also put forth these selling points:

- Other writers, who are actually talented, including Sky Kalkman, Marc Normandin, and Eric Seidman.

- Daily game logs covering the last three seasons.

- Graphs!

If any of this (or all of it) intrigues you, Acta Sports is taking pre-orders and operators are waiting!

It's not for everyone.

You’re getting about 50 words per player, purely analysis, and a ton of charts that at first are going to make you say, “WTF?”
