Somewhat OT: RipCityTwo Fantasy Basketball League

[PDXFonz]

Jordan Clarkson LAL - PG,SG
Jimmy Butler Chi - SG,SF
Klay Thompson GS - SG,SF
Jabari Parker Mil - SF,PF
Dario Saric Phi - PF
Markieff Morris Was - PF,C
Enes Kanter OKC - C
J.J. Redick LAC - SG
Buddy Hield NO - SG
Maurice Harkless Por - SF
Thon Maker Mil - PF
Dragan Bender Pho - PF
Ersan Ilyasova OKC - SF,PF
Doug McDermott Chi - SF
Cory Joseph Tor - PG

While I do have reliable established players, one word to describe my roster is; potential. Being the 11th pick you have to think a little outside the box. Risk or reward? We'll see how it goes.

I was going to draft Harkless as my 3rd option SF, didn't even see him get off the board so I had to sweat a bit when I made my pick which ended up being a quick click on Frazier.

I like Jabari Parker, he could have a really solid year. Doug McDermott is the leagues new Kyle Korver, at least he will be once he gets the minutes. Definitely going to help you win 3's most weeks, I'd be crossing my fingers that McDermott finds minutes.

K. Towns Min - C

K. Walker Cha - PG

M. Turner Ind - PF,C

J. Crowder Bos - SF,PF

M. Gasol Mem - C

T. Young Ind - SF,PF

M. Williams Cha - SF,PF

J. Lin Bkn - PG,SG

R. Jackson Det - PG,SG

J. Murray Den - SG

K. Anderson SA - SF

S. Curry Dal - PG

E. Davis Por - PF,C

T. Booker Bkn - PF

B. McLemore Sac - SG

If I had it to do over I wouldn't have taken Reggie Jackson as it put me in a hole that I have to fill for 6 or so weeks.

Towns was gonna be my first pick. I didn't think he would go that quickly as people went after the obvious(Durant, George, Lebron, Curry, etc.) and he would be their waiting for me at 11.

I had Schroeder, Kristaps,Carroll, and Exum in my queue.

Sorry man. I was going between having access and not having access the whole time. I think I managed to get back into the draft about 4 times when I had less than 15 seconds to choose someone.

I would have chosen Towns with my first pick as well, but that was the one pick I didn't manage to personally draft. I got Curry though, so I am not going to complain.

No worries.

I guess terrible minds think alike....hehe

I've never played in a yahoo league, does the whole roster play or just the position player and utility players?

Giannis was my second pick in my queue after Towns. Lol

Just the Position players and utility players. The rest are bench players whose stats for the day will not be counted.

In other words, a total of 9 players will have their stats recorded, while 6 will not. You've just done your best Olshey impression, now it's time to do your best Stotts impression.

Thanks.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Aright, Who wants to trade?

 

[-Ace-]

I like this team a lot, aside from Delly.

Yeah....it was at the point where I had to wait through 26 picks and I had a few other backup guards in my queue, but they disappeared.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

@Chris Craig and @BoBoBREWSKI I do have another option for you guys. I play in a keeper league that needs 3 managers. You get 3 kept players from last year's manager. Pretty good keepers too (One team has Paul George, another has LeBron, etc). It is free to join. If you want in then just PM your email address.

PM sent.

 

[PDXFonz]

There are message boards on the leagues page for those who are unfamiliar with yahoo. I've posted some info that might be helpful for those new to the league.

[BonesJones]

Looking to trade Lowry or Thomas for some depth

Awesome.

I have a center or two that might be better than what you have right now..

 

[BigGameDamian]

My team isn't doing that great early on.

Sames.

You auto-drafted didn't you? Wesley Matthews isn't doing you any favors. Although I am a whole 1 spot ahead of you so I don't have much room to talk.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Can you take 2 roster spots away from each player? There are to many roster spots and not enough free agents. Just a suggestion.

It doesn't let me do it in-season but we can have a vote and do it before next year.

 

[Natebishop3]

My team is shit. I'm not really digging a league this big. I think I'd prefer 8 people tops. The talent pool is much too thin.

8 people? Wow. That is junior-high stuff there. 10 is pretty standard and I could go for that but I also fine with 12. 14 is a lot though.

But the talent pool would be bigger with smaller benches like BGD is looking for. I think we should consider it next year.

10 is fine. Last year wasn't too bad... how many did we have, 12?
