D-League Draft Thread

I might actually have a shot at drafting Harden from the 8th spot. I actually was in a dilemma between him and Russ but I think it will be too hard to pass up Harden @ 8. (talking bout another league in which I play with my friends)

The only surprise was Melo @ 5. Otherwise they were all standard picks, Durant, Davis, Lebron, Curry, Paul. Thing is the guy that drafts @ 7 says he hates Harden and won't ever pick him. Hopefully he's not bluffing. Don't wanna see him pick Harden since I don't wanna pick Russ in a 2nd league and see him go down with a knee injury, it will kill my fantasy season overall.

I dont know about anyone else, but I would pick Cousins over Westbrook. Shoots good Ft% for a big, awesome assists for a big, and gets decent steals and blocks. Not to mention and monster rebounder and To's arent counted

Russ' last months were monster fantasy lines, and I really believe he can replicate that over the course of a season. If you consider that once again Thunder's roster got slimmer, the offensive output is gonna be relied hugely on him. That said, I won't be picking him in a 2nd league, much rather go with Wall or trade down. (since there are plenty of bigs in the mid 10s range).

John Wall

UGH! I was budgeting Wall as my first rounder.

Have to make the value pick here and take

Kevin Love since he's still on the board, though I'm really not thrilled about him being my first rounder :banghead:

^ right pick tho imo.

sucks taking guys that have injury problems in first round but Love's injuries have been wonky and he brings too many goodies to let him stay on the board

Yeah, agreed about the good outweighing the injury. There's also the concern of what he'll look like on the Cleveland roster, but at the end of the day he's more well-rounded for roto than a couple other guys I considered.

Yeah, you couldn't find a better player to play with LeBron. The best stretch four and rebounder in the league to clear the lane for LeBron. I think he'll be a monster this year. In Minny there was no reason not to double team him. Teams can't do that now.

Alright, making my picks shortly.

BringinDaRuckus · Post #53 » by **BringinDaRuckus** » Tue Sep 23, 2014 3:45 am

With my first pick I will select Lamarcus Aldridge.

And my second pick, I will select Kyrie Irving.

Woo man, I'm a little uncomfortable with how this is playing out compared to my original strategy, but I'm gonna have to snag...

Serge Ibaka!

SunZel, you're up.

Wow. Smart pick, especially since Love won't get you any blocks, lol.

Blake Griffin

Looking to trade up in one of the following types of scenarios - if you have a remaining second rounder or an early third rounder, let me know if you're interested:

-my later 3rd and earlier 4th for your earlier 3rd and later 4th

or

-your 2nd for a package that is acceptable to you given you won't get a 2nd rounder back, so something like your 2nd & 7th for my 3rd & 5th...again that's just a rough idea and it depends where your picks are, so I'm open to offers

Post #58 » by **bwgood77** » Tue Sep 23, 2014 3:41 pm

Love and Ibaka are an extremely good combo to have imo. Of course I took Ibaka in the other league along with a Cleveland player in hopes LeBron makes them better and not worse for fantasy purposes.

Safety Pickle · Post #59 » by **Safety Pickle** » Tue Sep 23, 2014 4:58 pm

I'll take Lillard
