Wow, you crushed the middle rounds. Brogdon fell a round, Bam fell multiple rounds, Carter fell a full round. You got so much value here it is crazy. Bridges fell to almost free agency level and he's going as a starter. Ingram is the only iffy pick with all that talent, and while he's a bench pick and doesn't cost you much, I wonder who else was there with the way the draft went. In all man, the other owners in your league must have slept through the middle of the draft while you ran laps around them. So manu people fell to you. This team is a playoff team for sure.

Yeah I think you could do better for the last two and find players who should play a bit more. Haha, the boring thing is kind of funny, because after reading that I do kind of agree with you. Love, Derozan, Conley, Vuc, Teague I mean they're not the exciting players, all being veterans who've been in the league for a while. That's how you get AD and still look pretty boring. I think Conley went a bit too high and your last two could be better, but other than that no one went crazy or sticks out. Even with AD, I think you'll be low in blocks as Vuc and a little Oubre are the only other guys who get any. Assists seem low. You have a good trio of big men for rebounding, but then it's a big drop off. I think your steals look pretty good actually and your %s and turnovers look to be great. You also guys who hit treys and score points, especially with the back end of the starters/ beginning of the bench picks. You came away with a decent enough squad to push for a playoff spot, but I can't help but think that the draft day and inconvenience of sneaking around and drafting on your phone really put a damper on what could have been for your draft. Can't do anything about it now, but it really handicapped you and that's unfortunate. Haha, yeah I can tell you already know this though.
I see you went with the no stars method as well, and weirdly Thomas Bryant was your highest-paid player. Your collection of guards is fantastic, and they're all point guards: Paul, Conley, Lowry, Bledsoe, Ball. You can't possibly lose assists any week and your steals are going to be elite as well. They all hit threes too (sans Ball) which gives you a solid floor in that department. Add in Lopez, Middleton, Love and Reddick and you jump towards the elite there as well. On the flip side fg% and turnovers are bound to not be good. You have a bunch of bigs which will give you a good floor in boards as well. If Love stays healthy, him and Capela give you a good duo where the others can fill in behind with 7 or so and up. You have a few guys who get blocks that will keep you competitive there. Not having anyone that would go in the top-25 picks really puts a cap on the teams' ceiling, but you were able to get a lot of top 50-70 guys to make up for it. You have the ability to take 5 plus each week, and look to be in a position to push for the playoffs, but you'll probably realize the value that the elite of the elite carries in fantasy ball soon enough.
He was averaging nearly 20 and 11 for the Grizz last year. With a healthier roster and new faces, 18 and 10 with a block and good percentages seem realistic with health. The ASB is months away and you're playing for the right now. If you get nervous about him missing games late in the season, you can move him as the season rolls along, but for now, that's another 4 months away. Yeah, for a 14 team league I think you have a solid squad. Those guys should help in the steals dept by getting 1+ or so a game. You have Lillard, Young, Conley, and Marks as your first four picks, so ft% should remain a strength of your going forward.
From the players, you listed NAW, White, and Powell are the most intriguing to me. I'd be okay with dropping OG for one of them. Noel has enticing defensive upside, but I'd hold off and pounce when the Adams' rumors start to gain more momentum.
Hello experts!
I'm in a Yahoo 10 team H2H standard league, 13 player roster plus one IL. This is my draft result:
1. (2) Stephen Curry (GS - PG,SG)
2. (19) Jimmy Butler (Mia - SG,SF)
3. (22) Paul George (LAC - SF,PF)
4. (39) LaMarcus Aldridge (SA - PF,C)
5. (42) Kevin Love (Cle - PF,C)
6. (59) Jamal Murray (Den - PG,SG)
7. (62) Malcolm Brogdon (Ind - PG,SG)
8. (79) Danilo Gallinari (OKC - SF,PF)
9. (82) Wendell Carter Jr. (Chi - C)

11. (102) T.J. Warren (Ind - SF,PF)
12. (119) Kelly Olynyk (Mia - PF,C)
13. (122) Taurean Prince (Bkn - SF)
I have PG on IL spot for now. Pls rate my team and also what type of player should I pick up while PG is on IL?
Many thanks !!!
This is a really strong team here! You're going to crush your opponents in points and triples. Steals and ft% are going to be at the top of the league as well. You have a playoff team for sure. The one obvious need for the team is big men. You have scoring big guys and outside of Carter, who has yet to show his health, there's nod defense with them. You are most likely going to be a league-worst in turnovers and blocks. With that last spot and even Prince, I'd look to see if there are any more rebounders or shotblokers to add to your team. If you can patch up that weakness, it'll be hard to beat you on a given week when George returns. You can always move a guard at some point as well since you're loaded there.
Thanks Santino, That is very helpful. The FAs available are: B Clarke, Millsap, Gay, C Zeller, Hachimura, Kleber, J Grant, Noel. Who should I pick up? Also, are you suggesting I should drop Prince?

Thanks for the response! I hate punting, so every draft I've ever been in I only take guys with solid %s and low TOs as the foundation to my team, since those are hard to get from free agents. Then depending on where the draft goes, I find 2 more core stats to get my 5. The way it went, I hope I can get a hold of pts (3s?) and rbs too. And if you think my steals are good, maybe I something I can build on as the year goes on.

About reaching for Conley, yea I agree. And after taking AD and Vuc, both being PF/C I thought I had to take a PG and Conley was the best PG on the board at that point. After Conley the next few guards off the board were Devin Booker, Zach Lavine, Deangelo Russell, and Chris Paul.

Do you agree with my core 5 stats? I can probably drop my last 2/3 guys to solidy any of the cats after %s and TOs.
I'd pick up Clarke for right now for his upside in rebounds and blocks. Prince is a good player but with the way your team is built, you don't necessarily need him. If Noel were to get a starting job, he'd be a perfect fit for your team.
Hello,
Finally, i had my auction draft tonight.
14 team, 200$ cap, H2H, 9 cat.
My keepers:
Hield / 13$
W. Carter Jr / 6$
JJ Jackson Jr / 9$
S. Gilgeous / 2$

Jonathan Isaac / 6$
My picks tonight:
S. curry / 71$

I had these guys on a short list. I miss some too (Bledsoe, Nance Jr,Lamb). I had some goals when i made these picks:
Efficiency (FG; FT) and very good 3pts shooting efficiency too.
Rebound everywhere because bigs with efficiency doesnt always has big rebound number
Pass everywhere too.
Defense, Defense, Defense.
My roster isn't flashy but a lot of guys are well liked by HoopBallers! ^^
So, your opinion?
PS: sorry for my tentative english.
Hey! What do you think of my team? I’m not sure what direction I should go in as far as punts and choosing categories to strengthen. Thanks 🙂

That's a solid strategy. Everyone has different ways of doing it, but as long as it comes together then they can all work. I personally don't care about turnovers at all (Good players/high usage players turn the ball over) and let %s work themselves out. I usually go after the fluff stats first (defense/rebs/assists) and fill in the rest. Three-point shooters are always floating around, and while %s are important, if someone checks all the other boxes I won't pass on them at the right price.
