Heading into the All-Star break of a fantasy basketball season I like to take stock of my team(s) for the final months but also look back on how I got here. After all, draft strategy alters from year to year but also player evaluation.

It makes little sense to announce victory laps on who I was right about, but players I missed on makes far more sense so I correct mistakes in future years. While I had no idea the potential top player in fantasy hoops would suddenly become a free throw liability, here are other players I should have evaluated better.
