Drafting Paul in a 12-man H2H, punt blocks or go PG-PF? 

Post#1 » by Crackfool » Thu Oct 14, 2010 10:12 pm

So I have the second pick in a 12-man league. Kevin Durant will most likely go first, leaving me with Chris Paul as my pick. With my second round pick, should I target someone like David Lee and just punt blocks, while focusing on FT%, assists, steals, 3s, points, and rebounds? Or would PG-PF be a more viable strategy (maybe take someone like Al Jefferson, or Chris Bosh if he falls)?

If David Lee is there at pick 23 I think you have to take him no mater what your strategy is. You should be able to trade him for a player that fits your team better than anyone else you could have drafted at 23. And if you can't trade him, just punt blocks and carry on.

Don't punt blocks just because you don't get an elite shotblocker with your 1st two picks. There's still some decent bigs that can block available later on. Guys like Hibbert, McGee, Cousins, Dalembert, Haywood, Chandler, Bogut, etc. You can still compete with guys like that.

I guess in h2h it's not that big of a deal though. Getting Lee that late like floppymoose said is a steal so you would have to go for it. See who's available and build to your strengths.

Chris Paul really has no weakness. He's the type of guard you can build around anyway you want. Small ball, BPA, %'s or a roto-style H2H team all compliment Paul quite well.
