Your Locked Player for 2014:




Explanation:

Your Team MVP: "A player that you had throughout the season. Preferably a little unique when selected start of year."

Most Surprising DT Player This Year: "A player that caught you by surprise on just how good his DT season has been."

Most Disappointing DT Player: "A player that was touted to be a good DT option during pre-season, but failed to live up to his potential. Wasn't terrible, but wasn't spectacular either."

Biggest DT Flop This Year: "A player that was more of a bust than Greg Oden ( :P). Terrible selection."



Anyone got any more to add to the list!?  ;)

[m_zulian]

Final Rank 11 999

Massively against the two trades per week rule, hated it and lost interest in my team with about a month left.
Considering quitting DT if they make no changes next year
