I actually almost hate Sly's team after the first 6 rounds or so. and Gokce's team is 'meh' in my opinion. I really think Wall is barely a top 50-55 talent at best, I think it was a wasted pick regardless of the his injury. (unless he develops 3ball or gets better FT% or something)
by the way, BBM's projections are cumulative, and wb is about 60 games short with Rose and Rubio, that's why he is last and I think he will be scrapping the bottom as well. and my team has Wade, Curry and Roy, I guess that's the reason why mine is low as well.
Well, I'd like to respectfully disagree about Rose and Rubio. Sure, they're injured, but anyone who has played h2h fantasy ball knows the season is long and drawn out, and there are early season performers and late season performers. It's very rare that the top team on Dec 1 holds onto that spot all season. The team that wins it all is usually the one that's clicking on all cylinders after the all-star break. So I took a calculated risk. I'll be lucky to be top 8 heading into the new year (I'm guessing 10-12). Rubio is back by late December (though I took him when I had heard he'd be back by Dec 1), and should give me a boost as I start to make a run for the playoffs. Rose should be back at the all-star break which should magnify my playoff push. By the time the playoffs start, I think I'll squeeze in at 8th or 7th. At that point, I'll have a 1st round point guard that I picked in the 9th round. As I see it, plenty of guys who get picked in the 9th and 10th rounds that end up as waiver fodder, so that wasn't much of a big risk.
of course, now that I've made a good case for the calculated risk strategy, I can always trade Rose to someone else who's better than 9th round worthy anyway. Win-win.
