I was able to pick up Gallinari with my second last pick (DeRozan being the last), and because of J-Rich's suspension he got to play (otherwise my team is too awesome for him). He will definitely be an asset later down the road if I need some help.

My awesome team: Nelson , Roy, J-Rich, Deng, Bosh, Lopez, Bogut, Oden, Josh Smith, Beasley
bench: JR Smith, Ford, Gallinari and DeRozan.

Right now the only thing my team does not do really well is assists and I can live with that.

Only ten teams, so everybody's team is pretty sweet, but mine is sweeter. I had the 8th pick, and I took Roy, then got Bosh with 13, that made my team.

LOL

How about you brag about those picks after the season if they have played 70+ games.

That was the concern about those guys, not that they wouldn't put up good numbers when healthy.

What they have done so far proves nothing.

got Gallo on waivers and have Speights who I love as long as someone Tonya Harding's Sammy's knees.

But I also have Griffin who is hurt and drafted Jose early in my draft and I'm wondering how much his #s will dip this year

Arenas, Tyreke Evans, Jennings and Brook Lopez were steals.
Same cannot be said about Andre Miller :(

My pleasent suprises have been Gallinari and Ariza. My dissapointments have been augustine and sessions. I also just traded Blake Griffin for Aaron Brooks. I think its a pretty good trade. I got bosh at PF and i needed a PG.

Best bet: LittleOzzy

My surprises have been Brandon Jennings and DeJuan Blair.

Disappointed in Shaq and C.Duhon.

It's the wrong board. I can even move it to the right one.

Honestly... No one... The only players on my team who have played well have been: Iguodala, Smith, Bargnani.

Everyone else has underperformed and given me a major headache.

And please don't remind me about Kaman, I was one pick away and then he got auto-drafted to the team before me in round 7...
