(but off course, i still don't like it. Those are just exceptions)
3 of the top 10 scorers in this league are fake.
8 of the top 10 in assists are fake.
4 of the top 10 in minutes played are fake.
6 of the top 10 in steals are fake.
3 of the top 10 in blocks are fake.
7 of the top 10 in 3 pt'ers per game are fake.
4 of the last 5 3pt shooting champions are fake.
4 of the last 5 dunk contest champions are fake.
Right now, the league's MVP (O'Connell) is fake. The two time champion Pettit is fake. Pretty much all the top PG's (O'Connell, Max, English, Lord) sans Livingston are fake. Last years prize FA signing (Trevor Wells) is fake. You've got bigs that would be incredible on your team (John Tyler, Rex Mehta, Jose Siegel, etc). Instead you hold onto an old dinosaur in Fortson that couldn't defend my 72 year old grandmother because he's "real", then wonder why you come up small in the playoffs.
If you want to argue that some of the drafts (particularly the last 2) have been weak, fine. But this "fakething is crazy.
