NBA Fantasy advice

Head to head. My draft is tomorrow :)
Any rookies I should think about taking near the end of the draft? High draft picks that should get games perhaps?

I like Mudiay, depending on how late he lasts. Also, being a Celtics fan and looking at the sleeper article Holz posted, Id actually try and steer clear of David Lee (unless he lasts a while, he's not a bad pick just wouldn't reach high on him) because I'm unsure of how many minutes he'll actually get this year, we have a lot of guys at the same position.

My favourite break-out candidate this year is CJ McCollum. Go grab him, he's gonna get tons of opportunity this season.

probably i reckon thats a bit of a reach.

int that range probably would have gone Ibaka Horford Bosh Jordan

Maybe. But Gobert will give you elite production in blocks, FG% and rebounds.

Yeah I had pick 5 so got shafted a little bit.

Paul then Gobert (for reasons above as the big men were being taken early) then Noel then Aldridge

[Jay]

Wow, surprised Aldridge is slipping that low.

Wow, surprised Aldridge is slipping that low.

I think what happened was that everyone starting taking big men really early and then everyone stopped taking big men to get the smalls except I didn't so I grabbed Aldridge. I didn't pick another big though until near the end of the draft

Oldapio and Gobert I reckon you took way too early but saved it with Aldridge. still you got plenty or rebounds and blocks

are you able to post the top 50 drafted.

Sure - we play with A/TO ratio and double doubles so if there is a few surprising picks, that is why. Chris Paul has nearly double the next best A/TO ratio so in my eyes he was almost a must if available to win that stat.

[Holz]

Paul was the correct pickup. Overall you did a pretty good job

Personally I would have gone

Paul
Leonard
Aldridge
Jordan
Horford (no clue how he didnt go)

I'm late to this party, but for latest news use Rotoworld.com and if you want some awesome stats based on any category ratings including 8-cat, 9-cat and custom cats and are willing to spend a small annual membership fee I really recommend basketballmonster.com.  I use it for my 11-cat league to predict player rankings when drafting and it also let's you see how trades measure up on a stats basis, plus heaps more.

Can't wait for my live draft this Sat, #1 pick and I'll be taking AD, so pumped!  ;D

[Jay]

Have my draft Monday night and am at pick 6. Hoping CP or Durant slip but that's probably wishful thinking. I reckon I might be able to grab LeBron, and then Drummond or Wall on the turn-around.
