FFL 2014-2015 - Season under way

Why does everyone hate Nickelback so much anyway?

[jazzfan1971]

My next selection is coming up. #64. I'd look at a similar deal to what I just gave WB if anyone is interested shoot me a PM.

Jabari at 59 wow. I had him around 85-90 range

I don't think he would've lasted that long to be honest.

It's not that crazy though. Jabari should average 18-19 ppt, 5-6 boards, 1+ steals, 1+ blocks and 3-4 assists. That's not bad for a pick at the end of the 3rd round. The risk is obviously that he's a rookie...but I also found him listed in the 50s on a couple of fantasy ranking lists. His ceiling is probably higher than anyone else's left on the list, and his floor isn't that low...

If anything, I just started a run on rookies and risky guys...so you can thank me when the solid, boring guys are still there in the 80s.

of course. I didn't say I was expecting him to drop to 85. I just said, that was where I was gonna pick him if he fell.

1+ block might be difficult at NBA level.
Also 19ppg is REALLY hard as well. You should check how many rookies got 19 ppg in the last 15 years. And Jabari is not a scorer.

I think his ceiling is top 50 and he can end up as top 120 barely. So I think there isn't that much upside, while the risk is not negligible at all.

[theman]

Always go with the original plan.

I am sure you are right but I can't resist being stupid.

Let the mocking begin.

[jazzfan1971]

May I start?

ahem

Did someone change this to a dynasty league and not tell me?

[sabonis]

I rarely post reaction gifs but the last 4 picks are easily worth it:



Wiggins are Jabari are a good 25 picks early for my liking. Noel I could see him getting picked in the next 10-15 picks.
but Exum ?!?! I have to be honest that I didn't watch him even on youtube. but really top 65? I really don't understand that pick at all. He would have been available at 110, I'm pretty sure about that.

[jazzfan1971]

I have accepted an offer on this selection. Just waiting on him to post it up.

They are pretty easy to hate. I like em anyway. (which makes them that much easier to hate)

Nostrablockus.

Trading away a super solid tank FT% core for 3 rookies? Interesting indeed.

[stick]

I'm liking it. I love seeing guys I'd never consider taking go ahead of my next pick.

[theman]

I hate picking rookies and rarely do so and if I do they are much later in the draft. But Noel and Exum had great summer leagues and all three should see a huge amount of PT. Anthony Davis was top 40 his rookie season. **** ***** was 150 last season but he sucks.

When I saw all three sitting there I could not help myself. There were a couple obvious choices if I was going to go the other way but a couple of them I had to pass on becuase of a commitment I made to myself.

I didn't trade anyone away I traded picks and only one of those picks is a pick I traded for.

[bww78]

Holy cow! I could feel a disturbance in the force at work and I had to come check the board. The fates have torn through the space/time continuum!!

This is epic.

Lol, you want to get into a debate like Sabonis and WB?

I'm just saying that If you stood pat, you had an opportunity for 2 of Dwight/Drummond/DeAndre. Yes you would still have picks on the back end, but usually if you specialize like that you can find value in the later rounds.
Also, you might have had a shot at a few of these rookies much later on.

It could be really interesting to see if a move like this pays off. I'm not trying to be overly critical but you are the one who asked for a mocking, after all.

I know we're not supposed to mention undrafted players, but who else is bummed about the end of the Miroslav Raduljica era?

See, this is why I traded up. TheMan is totally unpredictable, and by that I mean, totally predictable.

BTW, thanks for giving me my new team name, at least for a few months.

I was looking forward to using his name in Harry Potter references.

Miroslava Leviosa!

Avada Raduljica!
