Hey guys,

I recently joined a new keeper league that has it's draft on the 21st. I drew the third pick in the lottery. 1 and 2 are sure to be Lebron & Paul...

Who do you take 3rd? Am I missing someone I should be looking at?

We're running 11 players: 2 at each position plus one. 8 cats, no tos. Head to head.

I voted Amare so you know where I'm leaning...

I'd say Amare would be my frst choice and Wade would be my 2nd choice.

I voted Amare, but he could be gone second though, after Paul

I'd say Wade then Amare.

If D'Antoni was still coaching the Suns I'd say Amare but I think this season they're gonna decrease their rhythm a bit, plus Nash is going to play less minutes and less games. That means less production for Amare.

Wade looked great in the Olympics and if he comes back to his 2006 form, he's your guy. 6-7 assists, 9-10 FTA, close to 50% and 1 block from your guard? It's unbelievable.

Whether you choose Amare or Wade it won't make much difference. Just be sure it's one of them. Kobe is going to take a more laid back team approach because the Lakers have more offensive options than ever, so I wouldn't recommend him.
