standard ESPN 10 team. H2H most categories. 8 category (Pts/Reb/Ast/Stl/Blk/3pt/FG%/FT%)
10th pick out of 10

PG: Kyrie Irving (2nd rd)
SG: Batum (6th rd)
SF: Josh Smith (1st rd)
PF: Horford (3rd rd)
C: Monroe (4th rd)
G: Marcus Thornton (7th rd)
F: Ilyasova (5th rd)
UTIL: Lou Williams (8th rd)
UTIL: Kevin Martin (9th rd)
UTIL: Damian Lilliard (10th rd)
Ben: Brandon Bass (13th rd)
Ben: Omer Asik (11th rd)
Ben: Michael Beasley (12th rd)

Like i said, first ever shot at this. Hopefully I didn't screw the pooch too hard. Thoughts on how I should play this roster and/or look to the wire if need be

How the **** did you get batum in the 6th round. Seems kinda far for him to drop to me. Lou Williams pick kinda confuses me since I think lillard will probably put up the same production, with more assists too.

Honestly IDK. He was available at the top of the 6th so I snagged him. I had some people tell me I seemed light on assists, so i dropped Bass for Vasquez. Since this is my first real shot at fantasy basketball I probably made some bone head choices, but oh well.

Looks ok, monitor ur SG situation because you having mostly bench players there

I like the Vasqez for Bass pickup

Hypothetically speaking, which of my "bench PG/SG" would be the best choice to drop if I was to look at bringing in someone like Jared Dudley? Since Dudley seems to be the starter and likely to get more minutes. This doesn't mean I will drop anyone "yet" but a move to consider.

They are all pretty similar to b honest and all project to play similar minutes

I would go with who is not healthy or playing the least minutes.

Lou's backcourt seems to be the most crowded right now and Martin is the oldest with the most consistent injury history
