Dan Besbris. This is why you do Auction drafts....you can go get whoever you want!

I got my guys!

That's true. We need a name for the Thaddeus Young + Nikola Mirotic combo.

How about... The Dan Duo

Thad Captain and Nikille?

Thadola Miroung?

My Endless Loves?

Im in 4 leagues:

Drafted D'Lo in two of them, really feel like he finally takes that next step in his third year. Especially on a Nets team looking for a leader. Couldn't get him in my third league because it was extremely deep, rich raised his value and I couldn't get him in my fourth league because my friend sniped him from me, knowing that I love him. Some friend he is.

I got a lot of Taurean Prince, Aaron Gordon, Gary Harris, Josh Richardson and Justin Holiday. Those are probably the players I have the most shares of. Love Prince, and most of my leagues were on ESPN, who have Prince severely under-ranked. You literally have to look him up or else you won't find him, they have him behind Tayshaun Prince, almost messed me up a couple times seeing two "T.Prince"'s.

I really think Gordon shows out this year, especially with his recent comments and the fact that him and the Magic couldn't come to a contract agreement. He's betting on himself this year, becoming a restricted free agent next year and hopefully signing a massive contract. Meaning that he'll be more motivated than ever, and motivation is good for fantasy output.

Gary Harris has been a sleeper for the last two years, and he's consistently gotten better. I think this it the year it all comes together for him. It's a rejuvenated Nuggets team with what could be a dynamic offense. He's more polished than Jamal Murray right now and they'll be leaning on him, Paul Millsap and Nikola Jokic to handle the offensive load. Josh Richardson let me down last year when I drafted him, but I have faith this year, betting on the fact that he won't let me down twice. Plus, the upside is clearly there.

Justin Holiday is always a name that never fails to draw the "wait, who is that? Why would you ever draft him" response from my friends but Holiday has a ton of opportunity. Kris Dunn and Zach LaVine are out for the beginning of the season, likely until mid/late November so Holiday has the green light until then. I trust that he'll prove himself while they're gone and force the Bulls to keep him involved even when Dunn and LaVine return, of course his output will decrease when the team is fully healthy but he'll still give you more than many other late round picks.

Not to be a fun sucker, but I really hope Myles Turner gets injured this year since I missed out on him all 4x ????

I'm happy I got Gary Harris and Aaron Gordon 3x though!

I'm really jealous of you guys that got lots of Gary Harris and Aaron Gordon- I guess I play with super competitive guys who are buying into all the hype and drafting them mid 40's and before 50, which takes a lot of value out of them IMO. Although I think Aaron Gordon has the potential to be top 30, kind of like a Blake Griffin with less assists- the value really depends on if he can step up on those defensive stats.

I'm playing in 2 leagues this year and the only player I have in common in those teams is Tim Hardaway Jr, which I managed to get in the early 80's in both.

Missed out on J-rich and avery bradley, which I think will have phenomenal years.

2 Leagues and got these guys in common: I do have these guys on both teams: Paul George, Clint Capela, Richaun Holmes, Joe Ingles and Kelly Olynyk. Trying to drop KO for Prince, but i'm 10th on the WW so we'll see if I get him!

Mine
Myles Turner (3/3)
Otto (2/3)
Miro (2/3)
T Young (2/3)
Holmes (2/3)
Jrue Holiday (2/3) Bargain Price , keeps falling in drafts

🙂

@Najee -- DLo is going to be killer in 8-cat. TOs will be a big problem, which added on top of his FG% stuff makes him a 9-cat possible weakness.

@LilLeftee - you're dead to us all.

@01cheng - if someone took Harris in the 40's, that's too soon and it's okay you didn't get him.

@Wesley - Smokin' Joe. Love it.

@Mikey - I have a share of Jrue for the same reason.

Yeah Niko!

I've put a lot of trust in you, Dan! 🙂

In all seriousness after listening to your Podcasts for the last month, you have totally changed my thought process when it comes to drafting. Not that I have struggled in the past, but I reckon all my squads for this season are all solid.

I did find myself chuckling to myself during my live drafts when there was a bidding war going on for Blake Griffen. $57?? Please!

Or when I received a trade request from a guy that expected me to give him Otto Porter for Devin Booker.

And your 100% correct when the draft is happening you can pick who uses Hoop-Ball and who just goes by the Yahoo defaults.

It's a pleasure being able to serve!

There are a lot of weird things in fantasy that the casual observer may miss, and hopefully we're bringing that stuff to the forefront. Let's all keep learning and winning together!

Got Prince in both leagues now!
