Man I love fantasy basketball. I have a great 10-person league that I have been the commissioner of for a dozen years now. But I haven't won the championship since 2007 - so I am hoping that my team is like the Spurs and we win it again this year! The league is in Yahoo, had-to-head. We like that a lot better than roto. This year, guys on my radar are Andre Drummond Chris Bosh The splash brothers I always also like drafting Zach Randolph because he is a double-double machine that I can nab in, like, the 8th round. This year, I won't go near Love Deron Williams or D Rose or D Wade Or any San Antonio Spur What about you guys? Thoughts about fantasy hoops this year?
Just looked at ESPN's projection rankings. They have Thomas, Dragic, and Bledsoe ranked 19, 20, & 22 respectively (7, 8 & 10 among guards). Crazy that they expect all three Phoenix guards to be that productive. Similarly, they have Eric Gordon all the way down at 40th among guards; I can only assume that's based on injury history. IF he's healthy, he's going to be much better than that.
This was my roster last year and I won my league by a wide margin. Picking Duncan in later round was awesome. Jimmy Butler Stephen Curry Andre Drummond Tim Duncan Gordon Hayward Roy Hibbert Jarrett Jack DeAndre Jordan Damian Lillard Robin Lopez Victor Oladipo Ramon Sessions Klay Thompson I always try to draft players that can play multiple positions because you can play more players each day that way
His TRB numbers and AST probably go up but most if all his other numbers probably go down. Most likely averages out across the board to be equal compared to other years though so I mostly agree.
Been doing yahoo with some people from the espn boards for a few years now, hopefully they do it again. Last year was the closest I got to winning but I lost in the championship. I think Maris was actually the person who won it? I'd be down to do a free league with people on this board of anyone is interested.
I'v been in a 12 person ESPN league for about 5 years. Won it once, top 4 twice. We play head to head each week and our categories are FG %, FT%, FTM,3s, A,R,B,S,DD,TD, Points. I'm picking 12 so I get 12/13th pick and i'v been trying to figure out who to target and the main guy i'm hoping to fall to me is Hardin but I doubt he makes it. Cousins/Melo/LMA/Bosh/Griffin/Davis i'll be taking whichever 2 of those 6 are there if Hardin is gone. Haven't done a ton of research yet but A few guys I'v got my eye on Iggy/Affalo/Drummond/Randle/Rubio. Guys I wont' touch early are Irving/Rose/DWill/Ilbaka/Love
I started the RipCityTwo Yahoo Fantasy Basketball League last year. JT, hoojackers, Caravan, Mop N. Glo, Nate4Prez, Prunetag, Haak, and VanillaGorrila were in it from the Forum. I just renewed the league for this year and we can move it to a 12 team league and would have at least 2 openings at this point (possibly more if others from last year don't rejoin). So if there is interest then let me know.
i hate to say this but im going for anthony davis...then dame in the second round. thats my ideal situation
PM me your email address (Yahoo one preferably, if you have one of those, if not then any old email addy).
Does the league usually fill up late? 6 players is a fairly small league, 10 is a much better number.
There are 6 who played last year that haven't renewed yet. They are Nate4Prez, BlazerCaravan, VanillaGorilla, hoojackers, Prunetang, and JT's Fine Team. I will give them a few more days to get joined up before I remove them and allow others to join instead. So if any of those I listed are reading this I need to know if you are in or out this year. P.S. Mod's can we "tag" people? I know I can PM them but just curious on if we can tag someone so they get a notification to read this thread.
Just did my draft today ended with: Damian Lillard Klay Thompson Luol Deng Anthony Davis Dwight Howard Dwyane Wade Zach Randolph Jeff Green Roy Hibbert Trey Burke Giannis Antetokounmpo Tony Wroten Amir Johnson
