your team is actually really good for punting free throws. Drummond, Howard, Favors and Smith is beast and so is Wade. youre 100% guaranteed to win steals and blocks every week, and youre very strong in fg% and rebounding.

thing is you cant trade wade because then youd be left with no points, which is a weakness for your team. assists and threes are average.

honestly if i were you id see what i could get for parsons, korver and green. those guys are 3pt specialists and you are weak there, so they arent offering much else. if you can greatly improve points and/or assists trading them i would punt threes as well. see who is weak in your league in threes and offer them. Tony Parker is the player you should be after, but target guys like Lawson, Ellis, and Holiday. Or you could try to trade one of your bigs to shore up your points and assists, tbh your team is overkill in blocks. lopez should definitely be expendable.

youd also be fine if you just stick with it and make good waiver pick ups, i dont know what the other teams look like but being really strong in 4 cats is good enough to get a good playoff seeding and then its all about matchups.

10 Team H2H 8 Cat

I'm punting free throws, although I started with Harden...Still I feel that I've got rebounds, blocks and fg % down pretty well, and should be pretty good with assists and points as well...

Opinions?

R1 Harden
R2 Batum (Accidently picked him lol)
R3 John Wall
R4 Dwight Howard
R5 David lee
R6 Andre Drummond
R7 Derrick Favors
R8 Raymond Felton

R15 Andre Miller



I think Wall is going to have a MVP caliber season. Good pickup in round 3
I like Howard but I think hes a reach in round 4. Maybe a few better big men available. I would have drafted David Lee before him
Andre Drummond has been tearing it up in the preseason, good pick there
I think Felton at 8 might be a little too high, maybe 9 or 10, but good pick nevertheless (I'm a Knicks fan)
Not a big Zach Randolph fan so cant really comment there
I think Evan Turner will have a big year with Holiday gone, so he's definitely a steal in round 10

11-15 are all dice rollers. Good draft!

Any thoughts on my draft?

I like your team, everything is well set, seems like u managed to balance pretty much all categories except steals and maybe rebounds but everything else is fine and you can compete in your league pretty fine.Shall i trade for Westbrook with my roster and what i could/should offer if i am supposed to?

I think Conley is one of the best point guards in fantasy, definitely a keeper.

No question Wade is a high performer, if healthy, so he might be good trade bait for a Batum if the other team is willing to pull the trigger. Off season is a great time to trade for injured players.

Josh Smith is going to take it to a whole other level in Detroit, one of the few players who can fill up the stat sheet all the way around. Bad free throw shooter though, but everything else makes up for it. Keeper.

Derek Favors is a solid big man. There are never enough bigman to go around so you should keep him unless you can package him (with Wade maybe?) for something special.

Chandler Parsons is solid. Keeper

Dwight is Dwight. Some people like him, some dont, depends on what your needs are.

Andre Drummond is going to have a big year. Keeper

Goran Dragic might underperform compared to last year but he's competing with more players for the starting nod. Good as a borderline second point guard. Might be good trade bait.

Everyone else serves a specific need and its all how you position your team.

All in all, I would look to trade D Wade and/or Favors if you can get something nice.

Conley has and always been amazing for fantasty league. Drummon and Dwight will basically make you lose or be at the bottom for ft% but they'll HOPEFULLY make up for it with rebounds and blocks.

Other than maybe Parsons and Waiters your team lacks serious 3 point shooters. Korver I'm not sure will get many minutes but we'll see.

I wanna try this!

It's been a good 5 years since I've played fantasy basketball not including NBA 2K :D

Its a 12 team draft, I picked last head to head: Field Goal Percentage (FG%), Free Throw Percentage (FT%), 3-point Shots Made (3PTM), Points Scored (PTS), Total Rebounds (REB), Assists (AST), Steals (ST), Blocked Shots (BLK), Turnovers (TO).

I'm a big Timberwolves fan, that's why I got Ricky Rubio so early. Would've love to have gotten Love too but he was gone too soon.

I went in with no real strategy but as the draft went I figured a balanced team. Though I think might be terrible with the FT's

1. (12) Anthony Davis (NO - PF,C)
2. (13) Ricky Rubio (Min - PG)
3. (36) Dwight Howard (Hou - C)
4. (37) Damian Lillard (Por - PG)
5. (60) Greg Monroe (Det - C)
6. (61) Eric Gordon (NO - SG)
7. (84) Kenneth Faried (Den - PF)
8. (85) Greivis Vasquez (Sac - PG,SG)
9. (108) Harrison Barnes (GS - SF)
10. (109) Ben McLemore (Sac - SG)
11. (132) Victor Oladipo (Orl - SG)
12. (133) Tristan Thompson (Cle - PF,C)
13. (156) Isaiah Thomas (Sac - PG)

I don't have a backup point (only realized this after the draft), I think I have too much big men and not enough guards. Probably drop Chandler or Sullinger for Collison or Andre Miller. Thoughts?


Help please.

I just dropped Gallinari for Udrih (I think he'll have an up year). Banking a lot on Beal and Leonard stepping up, hoping Deron Williams can continue playing like the 20/8 on great efficiency player he was after the Nets fired Avery Johnson, and praying that Davis is going to help me fill up the stat sheet. I'm probably gonna be looking to trade either one of Valanciunas or Lopez soon.

ok you have a bit of a problem in that you need to punt assists and trade deron williams ASAP, but hes hurt so his value will be really low. you literally have no assists outside of him, and lots of dwill's value are his assists, so that hurts a lot. put him on the trade block and see what you can get, but if you want any hope of being competitive you need to get something good for him.

overall, your team is a bit of a mess, when playing fantasy you need to focus on which categories you can win, (punt assists should be the obvious choice IMO) and then try to strengthen what you can. for example you have two really good steal guys in Kawhi and Thad, so when trading try not to weaken your steals anymore or look for good steal guys in trades. also if youre going to trade away dwill, you'll need to be getting some threes back as well otherwise youll be really weak there.

on the plus side, Lopez, Val and Davis are three absolutely amazing big men to have. they are efficient, get you lots of blocks, good boards and good points. and i would say Val+Davis are two guys i would target every draft, so well done there. damn maybe its just my love for them but i think thats the best big men trio ive seen. dont even think about trading any of those 3 unless you can trade rape someone cuz those guys are your only hope really.

depending on who you get for dwill you could have a pretty strong team. the plus of punting assists and getting rid of dwill is you will have a bunch of low turnover players and basically auto win that against everyone since no one pays attention to TOs. oh yeah drop Udrih too hes pretty useless in punt assists. also not sure what there is to like about biyombo, he literally only gets blocks and rebounds and youre already pretty strong there.

thats my take on it, thats my advice, you can do whatever the **** you want.

I see, so I should just forget about assists and guard play completely and concentrate on statistics big men would dominate in. I got Biyombo with my last pick and I thought it'd be good reassurance in case one of those big men go down with injury. I'm guessing he'd spend a lot of time on my bench. I'll have to give up my pursuit of Steven Adams too :lol:

Thanks a lot that really helped. I thought I was confident in drafting a good team but looking at it I knew something was wrong. Just in time, I have another draft coming up.

well yeah i mean, look at your team, outside of dwill where will you get assists from? Mayo will get maybe 4? Beal will get a few as well. thats about it. if you go against anybody with more than one decent point guard, which im assuming is most people in your league, then they will beat you. its better off to punt it a cat you have very little chance of winning and strengthen your team elsewhere.

My last question before I'm ready to take off the training wheels, Deron Williams for Paul George? I also dropped Udrih for Delfino.

i mean you can offer it but i doubt he will accept it, most people are really high on George, and like i said Dwill just had surgery. you might have to suffer a week or two and let Deron prove his value again. so unless the guy is stupid i dont think it will work. George would be good, but i think Melo is the perfect player for punt assists. he should be your #1 target imo.

other than that, i would target Batum+someone else, since Dwill is more valuable in general you could get another player. oh yeah, another guard that becomes really valuable in punt assists is Bledsoe, he'll get you like 1+ steal and block a game plus some boards which is real nice. Jennings is also good if you dont mind the horrific FG%

no matter what make sure to get good value since youre trading away your first round pick and an elite player.

edit: delfino isnt bad but watch out because he might kill your FG%.
