I was certain this AD not a top 10 thing was a joke, so I didn't respond!?! Surely that's a joke?

He's number 1, clearly. Curry can push him in H2H because he's so elite in 4 categories, but Roto it's Davis and he dominates - almost on par with Durant couple years back

Only thing that could see him drop out of top 3 is that injury history...but put him with Gentry, yikes.

He has injury history the last two years and with the return of KD and having a couple of possessions to feed Kanter, his fantasy value will likely drop. He is also a low FG% guy and high FG% players are hard to come by, so you're practically punting FG% when you draft him.

Here are some specifics: 42.6% FG and 0.2 Blocks. If you draft him and find yourself in a position with low blocks, then you might be trapped into drafting a low FT% guy just to have blocks. He is also a TO machine.

Yup, nice call on Westbrook, not gonna be worth a top 7 pick either this year.

If u get the opportunity to draft, say Carmelo Anthony instead, you go for it.

I've got a useful spreadsheet full of last year's stats, Yahoo rankings and other stuff I use for my writing if anyone wants. PM me and I can email it to you, Miklo's got it already.

Also got the Prem league draft order in it if you want to keep track of stats etc

Yeah, i'd take Anthony Randolph over Davis/Westbrook/Melo anyday of the week. Im telling you, AR is going to finally have his breakout season! He has soooooooo much potential!

Man, I got slaughtered this week. Dez Bryant is out with a broken foot now, Flacco put up a goose egg with Mariota putting up 24 on my bench. Not that it would've pushed over the top for a win, but damn...

I am taking notes of all these "scrap over star" draft promises and will have them in mind when offering trades later.

Anyone looking at JJ Redick in round 1? I'm tempted to wait until Round 2, but I'm hesitant since my pick is late round 2.

I started to make a post about leaving Mariota on the bench, but then realized it wouldn't have mattered for your deflated team anyway. In my other league my first two picks were CJ Anderson and Dez Bryant, and they both are injured, so I'm in trouble.

Also I think Zero Tolerance made a post about putting Manning on the block (and Newton I think) for anyone who is interested.

Are we going to have ONE thread for ALL fantasy talk this year?

Going to make it quite cluttered I think.

And (selfishly) for people like me who don't watch/care about football it's kind of annoying...

Draft threads will be separate though so that'll keep my cane-waving on the porch to a minimum haha
