NFT: Fantasy Basketball Draft

I picked 9th

my 2 cents - you need another quality big man...your first four PGs are very good...I would try to trade one of them...maybe someone will overpay on Lin...

you also need some SG and SF help...looks like your league doesn't break down PG and SG or SF and PF but they bring different things to the table...you'll probably rake on assists (and be hurt by turnovers) but you need some shooting, 3's and blocks...

are Draymond Green, Jamal Crawford, the Greek Freak (Giannis Antetokounmpo), Jared Sullinger or Gorgui Dieng available?

with only 10 teams, there should be some good players on the waiver wire...

Durant being out for a while hurts, of course...

Thank you. I don't know about Draymond Green or Gorgui Dieng. The lineups haven't been put into the computer yet. Also, we put a cap on the moves you can make all year at 20 which is ridiculous. I will look into those players.

I took Durant at 8 for a couple of reasons. One, when healthy he is much better than the 8th best player. Two, when he does come back my team is going to be pretty damn good. Three, 6 teams are making the playoffs out of 10 meaning as long as I don't completely suck come playoff time I should have a beast of a team.

is outstanding. I do agree you are weak with your bigs, but I play 8 category, not point system. I had my draft last night and picked first in a 12 team league.

Stephen Curry
Kyle Lowry
Al Horford
Nikola Vucevic
Monta Ellis
Trevor Ariza
Tyreke Evans
Reggie Jackson
Kelly Olynyk
Henry Sims
Amir Johnson
Amar'e Stoudemire
C.J. Miles
Jodie Meeks

I think your season will hinge on Curry. He always worries me because of his injury history with his ankles. However, last year he was awesome. If he plays like he did last year you should be in good shape.

Just curious did you take Curry over Lebron? I had 2nd pick a few nights ago. Keeper league but all the 1st rounders go back in the pool every year. This year the first round was pretty much what a 1st rd. would look like(Cousins and Harden were the 2 1st. rd. type guys that were able to be kept). I took Curry at #2. Lebron went #1 and I really was debating between Curry/A. Davis. Its a roto league and I just don't trust he can stay healthy enough to play more than 65-70 games yet. I love Davis and have him in the other league I'm in which is head to head.

Tough choice. basketballmonster.com is an amazing site for all things fantasy basketball. They had Curry ranked slightly ahead of Lebron this year and graded him out slightly ahead last year. This is a H2H league and the deciding factor was Curry's playoff schedule. He plays 4 games per week every playoff week while Lebron plays 2 or 3 games a week. I'm also a big fan of Curry and PG is a premium position and hard to come by. I hope I made the right choice.

that plagued him. 3 of the past 4 years he's played like 78 out of 82. If he plays that many games he's a ridiculous stat sheet stuffer with excellent percentages for a pg/sg. I don't think I'd take him over Lebron, but I took him #2.

I was honestly worried about Lebron maybe taking a bit more of a back seat in Cleveland and being a facilitator. That and I can see them blowing people out and them resting him. Close call and I realize that I did not make the obvious choice. As you said, I am hopeful that Curry is over the ankle issues. Love the kid...so good.

i have lost 3 years in a row in the championship ,Dont want to be the bills of fantasy basketball this year lol
