If you consider yourself a "hardcore" basketball fan, then the 2009 Basketball Prospectus is a product that's simply essential. Think of it like an NBA textbook, except it's impossible to put down. Some features:
- Essays on all 30 teams.
- Five-year team trend tables.
- Info-packed tables on every player who saw NBA action in 2008-09 or who can be expected to be seen in the upcoming season, including their advanced stats for the last three seasons, their skill ratings and their contract status.
- Commentary on every player.
SBN's Third Quarter Collapse has more on the book, and why it's worth the money, and because our network is full of experts, they even make a cameo, themselves.
(And if you're into free samples at the supermarket, here's PDF versions of the foreword by Houston GM Daryl Morey, as well as their thoughts on Oklahoma City's players and the Houston Rockets as a team. Lots of good stuff, there.)
