Rank these keepers 

Post#1 » by theman » Fri Oct 3, 2008 5:27 pm

I am picking soon in my keeper league. Who do you like of these guys.
Vince Carter (31)
Ray Allen (33)
Andris Biedrins (22)
Josh Howard (28)
Corey Maggette (29)
Emeka Okafor (26)
Mike Miller (28)
Andrei Kirilenko (27)
Loul Deng (23)
Tracy McGrady (31)
Micheal Beasley (19)
Manu Ginobili (31)

I am leaning towards Deng or Carter but Beasley, McGrady, and Biedrins are tempting. I guess I don't need ranks just who is the best.

No--not Deng. He's just one of those guys who is a much better player in reality than he is in fantasy. I would order those ones as such. Howard is the same way. As a rule of thumb I usually try to stay away from wings who don't get a ton of 3s or assists (of course there are exceptions)--otherwise they're basically just like bigs who don't rebound well or block shots.

Vince
Ray
Manu (yes, he's hurt, but when healthy, he's easily the best of this bunch IMO)
Kirilenko
Emeka
Miller
MgGrady
Howard
Biedrins
Maggette
Beasley
Deng

Biedrins is a fantastic keeper, He's real youg and sexy. Vince/Ray probably have 2-5 years left, so you should take them if your in win now mode. Manu is loads ahead of everyone though.

From this point moving forward, McGrady is no longer tempting.

Agree with this post. The top 4 are the only real keepers.
