Essay21 2,385 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 So in one of my fantasy basketball leagues, I have the eighth pick. This kinda sucks because I'd gladly take any of the top seven players: Lebron, Durant, harden, CP3, curry, k love, and kyrie. If I assume that some order of those guys are the first seven picks, that leaves me with Paul George and Carmelo as te next two guys up. I had decided on Paul George in the first and then snap calling Anthony Davis at pick 13. But watching the Derrick rose highlights has me considering taking d rose at 8. I'm just nervous about it. I feel like Paul George is so solid and good he should win out over coming back from injury d rose. But the thought of passim up Derrick and watching him get 23 8 and 4 really scares me. Def getting Anthony Davis at 13 though. No doubt. Love the unibrow. Link to post Share on other sites
FCP Bob 1,312 Posted October 23, 2013 Author Share Posted October 23, 2013 what's the scoring format ? Link to post Share on other sites
Cha! Cha! 628 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 D Rose for sure. Note: I know nothing about fantasy basketball. Link to post Share on other sites
Essay21 2,385 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Head to head. 9 categories with A/T ratio, so assists count double basically. Link to post Share on other sites
Essay21 2,385 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 D Rose for sure. Note: I know nothing about fantasy basketball. D rose is ranked 14, so theoretically I could get him at 13, but I feel like if I pass on him at 8 then he gets taken 9-12 and I miss out. Link to post Share on other sites
Essay21 2,385 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I've mapped it out pretty well and based on where guys are usually drafted in relation to their yahoo player rankings, I think I can go like this, if lucky in the first 6 rounds. George/Rose A Davis D Howard Blake griffin Jeff Teague Jrue Holliday I'd cream myself. I'd just die of orgasmic pleasure if it happens. It's possible. I might have to move gotan dragic or George hill in for jrue, but the others I think are a lock. Dwight's negative perception should work perfectly for me here. Link to post Share on other sites
BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 The key to fantasy basketball is point guards and PF's who shoot 3's . Link to post Share on other sites

BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 yeah I guess Odin sat out that first year so he wasn't a rookie till 08. I was confused for a second. Bet those gms that picked Super Cool Beez feel like chumps. Link to post Share on other sites
NickCave 194 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Kevin Arnovitz @kevinarnovitz 1h '08 NBA GM Survey. Best rookie in 5 yrs: Oden (31%), Rose (23%), Beasley (23%), A Randolph (7%), Westbrook (7%). Others: Bayless, Mayo. How on Earth did Durant get no votes? At 19 he averaged 20 points a game as the #2 pick in the draft. He wasn't super efficient, but he was a 19 year old kid playing for a horrible team asked to carry the scoring load, and he was incredibly projectable. He shot 40% from three in college, and he's a legit 6'9". That's just... what the hell, NBA GMs? Link to post Share on other sites

FCP Bob 1,312 Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 Welcome back Greg Oden. Imagine how important he might be if he can be healthy and even 80% of his potential. He's still only 25 and he actually looks younger to me than he did a few years ago netw3rk @netw3rk 6h That weird feeling where you want Greg Oden to be healthy but you don't want Miami to have a healthy Greg Oden. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ix64QPX7xY8 Link to post Share on other sites
NickCave 194 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Because he wasn't a rookie that year God dammit. I even read the BigD post explaining that shit, and I was still like HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURF DURGF 2 Link to post Share on other sites
