Capt, what the HELL man!! I was praying you would skip him!!!@
Lol I thought about it! I thought maybe he’d be someone to go under the radar a bit and was wondering if I could wait until round 5 for him, but decided to just go for it. I hope he stays healthy this year and that Cuban’s remarks about load management don’t affect him too much.
Good at least I feel better knowing I had no chance at getting him. He was my top priority to pair with Mitch and steph
No back to back games for sure....Kristap is a nice late 4th or early 5th round depending on your team makeup.

@capt - do you really think D.Cousins can produce top 50 this year with Davis and Bron and Kuzma?. I’m not as hopeful on him. But I see a lot of guys ranking him anywhere from 40 to 50 range. #Risky
Hey Andrea, yeah I think he'll easily plod along to top 50 value with an upside of somewhere in the mid 20s. Last year as he was brought along slowly after the injury, he still posted averages of 16.3 / 8.2 / 3.6 / 1.3 steals / 1.5 blocks / 0.9 triples and in only 25.7 mpg. Those numbers are pretty solid considering he had some games with low minutes as he learned to play again, and I would say he had to share the court just as much, probably more last year, with Curry, K.D., Klay, and Draymond.
So in L.A., he's projected to be the starting center (with A.D. at the 4), and even though I don't think he'll play more than 30 minutes, he should be seeing at least a small uptick from last year's 25.7. He also plays really well next to his buddy A.D.
There's also opportunity for him to carve out an even bigger role during A.D.'s frequent locker room trips. And with The King turning 35 this year, he's no spring chicken, so there will likely be times when Cousins is leaned on more heavily if either of those two have to miss time.
Another factor to consider is that for each of the last two years Cousins has been payed chump change, so he'll be hungry to prove that he can return to some of his former glory and earn a big payday.
In terms of where he'll be drafted, I hear a lot of analysts saying he'll be off the board in the third round in a lot of competitive leagues. I hope he falls to the fourth, but with his name value, I don't see it happening in many leagues. So if he does happen to fall to the 5th round, I think that's a steal and a great value play.
Anyone else able to post?
If needed, I can make a new thread. I copied the original first post with all our picks. The 12-hour clock is paused until we’re squared away. Standby.
The link's now back. Thank you.
