Notable Players:
The usual suspects on the notable players list. With the limited experience I have with the fantasy basketball thing, I feel like for your team to perform well and reach the final or whatnot, it is obviously a given that the top picks perform but there has to be a breakout player from the lower round picks. So far, not happening.

- Damian Lillard: It seems that Lillard is getting into his full potential as the stats are looking more like the Lillard of Portland. 3PTM, PTS, AST, FT%, elite at these 4 categories. A
- Devin Booker: Booker seems to have established himself as the number 1 option in the team even with Durant and Beal in the team. Even if Beal has not suited up for the Suns much, it doesn't seem like he will dislodge Booker whatsoever. I have no idea why he is grabbing so much REB but no complaints as long as he fills up the stat sheets similar to Lillard. A+
- Paul George: It seems that the arrival of Harden did not impact the output of George much as far as I can tell. No one can tell if(probably when) Harden goes AWOL on the team, although not this season at least. Glad to see PG13 getting good stats up. A

Underwhelming Players:
With the week being shortened with the number of games because of the In-Season tournament(IST), there haven't been many games and seems that not many players had a bad week, but i somehow lost in such a,,,,, pathetic manner. Anyways, for the first time this season, this list stays empty for this week, a trend which I hope continues throughout the season. 

Albas:
- M. Morris Sr.: Thought I tried using him because he can play center and hit 3PTM. He did, not only 1 and nothing more than that. Just meh~. C+
- A. Nesmith: Chose to try him since he will play in the semi-final of the IST and potentially get some extra stats on 3PTM. Again, just 1 and couple of PTS. Might use again in the future. B-
- Donte Divincenzo: I'm just grasping at straws with the albas. Another 1 3PTM with nothing much else to offer. C

Trade:
- Jordan Poole For Mike Conley: Admittedly, Poole had a good week. I jokingly brought up the idea of trading away Poole while drinking with Jokic the Joker's manager and he seemed really interested while he joked about trading away Conley. Both perplexed to think why the other would want to trade away their assets, we decided to switch the 2 players, half drunk.

Released into the Waiver:
- Onyeka Okongwu: I finally had enough of bad performances from him and decided to cut ties with the Hawk's big man. If he explodes in the latter part of the season, it was not meant to occur under me, he is someone's elses problem now. As hard of a decision this was, I should have tossed him sooner as I feel he was holding the team back with a valuable roster (alba) spot. At the same time, I am hoping the Xavier Tilman is able to provide valuable big man stats with Steven Adams out for the season in Memphis. Farewell Onyeka, may you not suddenly explode into a breakout star this season.

Final Thoughts:
- It REALLY sucks to lose after leading 6:3 at halfway into the week. As to how the team had imploded after taking a commanding lead to the middle of the week, I have no idea. My team is spiraling down into nothingness. Having never missed the playoffs until my latest fantasy season, this bad of a season is really demotivating to continue to put in effort into the team.
- Because of the IST, there were not many games. This got me a little confused when evaluating the performances of the players.
- Finally got Jordan Poole away from the team!! He was doing no good for my mental health whatsoever! Conley probably won't provide me with mind blowing stats but at least he won't have me steaming with bad FG% and TOs.
- Already 5 of the drafted players are not with the team anymore, with Poole (5th), Okongwu (9th), Zubac (11th), KCP (12th), and Holmes (13th) in the waiver or some other team. Not a good sign when the 5th round pick is bad enough to warrant a trade away from the team.
