2013 Fantasy Championship

So much for the sophomore slump. Second-year sensation Rusty Gundrum followed up a second-place finish last year with a championship this year. He doubled down on a couple of #4 seeds and they both hit big as the Michigan duo of Trey Burke (3rd overall of drafted players) and Glen Robinson III (7th) and the ‘Cuse combo of Michael Carter-Williams (9th) and Brandon Triche (12th) carried Rusty to the 2013 Fantasy March Madness Player Draft championship. It was a very impressive performance indeed and when you throw in Duke’s Mason Plumlee (11th) it makes a total of five top-12 players for the new king of the block.

At one point it appeared that an up-and-coming Corey Dardis was in line to claim the crown, but in the end it was not to be. Despite an amazing run from tournament leading scorer and hands down the steal of the draft Mitch McGary and a standout performance from Syracuse’s C.J. Fair (6th) Corey came up 19 points short of the title.

Here are the full standings:
1. Rusty 936 pts
2. Corey 917 pts
3. Kevin 764 pts
4. Stoltz 684 pts
5. Brennan 649 pts
6. Heinz 621 pts
7. Shef 611 pts
8. Rybo 556 pts
9. Trev 511 pts
10. Cullen 414 pts

So without further ado please direct your eyes to the rafters to honor our current and past champions:

2005: Matt Cullen
2006: Kevin C. Wilson
2007: Kevin C. Wilson
2008: Kevin C. Wilson
2009: Jon Heinz
2010: Marc Sheforgen
2011: Trevor Schmidt
2012: Kevin C. Wilson
2013: Rusty Gundrum

With a total of $250 in the pot Rusty will get $200 for 1st-place and Corey will get $50 for 2nd-place. Well played boys.

Let me know if anyone has any questions and thanks for playing.
