Jamison in the 4th round is a steal i think.
I'm high on bargnani and randolph so having both I like.

I think what your lacking are assists. Duhon for me is a solid 3rd pg, but if he's your 2nd pg then that's a little iffy for me. Maybe if you can get a guy like Jameer or Rondo via trade then you'll be good. But that might cost you jamison.

I think your rebounds are a little iffy too. Brand is the only guy on your team (if healthy) that could get 10 plus boards per game. Bargnani is a poor rebounder, and randolph is unproven. Jamison is solid. But here's hoping Oden can stay out of foul trouble and Birdman along the way get a boost in minutes if someone in Denver's front court gets injured.

Otherwise you look good for treys and points.

If you are tanking assists, then that team is really good. You got a ton of guys who occasionally go early at great value(randolph, bargs, oden).

I think i'd try to move duhon with someone else to trade up for down for a scoring PG like barbosa, terry, lou williams, tyreke evans, etc.

Kobe could average around 6 dimes a game this year and I'm hoping Chauncey adds 1 to his average last year to bring him closer to his career numbers. I was mainly acting as if Kobe was my #2 in command for assists. I took Duhon bc he'll average around 7 a game as well. I almost took Rondo over Jamison but after falling to pick 44 there was no way I was going to pass up on that value. The shoulder injury scared everyone off. With it being a 12 team league there are a few teams who are stacked in assists but I'm hoping to not officially "tank" the category but I'm not expecting to win it most weeks. Other than assists what do you all think?

Bogut and Oden, if healthy, could have good years I'm hoping and at pick 92 and 101 I think they could be very solid picks. I feel I may have reached a bit on Brand. I like the 2+ blocks and 10+ boards potential from him but is he every going to get back to that point?

IF Brand works out you will be a competitive team.

I'm counting on Brand quite a bit this season. I can always play Brand, Bogut, AND Oden at the same time which would be great for boards and blocks. I have the ability to choose who to play depending ont he matchup so I think I'm good in blocks and should be okay in boards. Barganani stinks at rebounding but he still gets blocked shots. I was thinking of dumping Galinari for Morrow.

Where are his three stud PG's who shoot the three?

Chauncey is the #1 3 point shooting PG

A) it's a 12 team league.
B) shorter bench, not the usual 3 util slots
C) he's got Bryant, Allen, Billups, Jamison and Bargs to give him a healthy dose of 3s
D) Billups is a stud PG, Bryant has pg type assist #s and he has Duhon who is solid in Assists and 3s as well.

He has things pretty well covered, just needs Brand to stay healthy and it's a solid team.
