SCF Superstar Draft...Results

[demonpower55]

Here was my draft in order. I had the 16th pick, but I think I did VERY well on my first 2 selections! Mine was also autodraft.

Al Jefferson
Dwight Howard (yep, 21st overall)
Mike Dunleavy
Hedo Turkoglu
Mike Bibby
David Lee
Ryan Gomes
Marcus Williams
Antonio McDyess
Brook Lopez
Martell Webster (INJ)

I don't have a good stealer or a good 3pt shooter, but I'm set up front. I really wanted KG, but I think Dwight and Big Al will be enough - plus, I would have to bench one of those 3 if I had all 3!

So, here's a question - what do I need? I'm a firsttimer at fantasy sports, so any help is greatly appreciated! I know I need a better 3PM person, and a better STLer....aside from that, what advice can you give me? Thanks in advance!

Well, you're stacked with big men who can grab rebounds and block, but with poor FT%. I suggest trying to shop Dwight Howard for a good SG/PG. David Lee is a great starter at C and can blossom in D'Antoni's system. That's my 2 cents, but I'm curious what you do since the autopicking killed you by not picking any good guards.

Thanks Franklin. I'm thinking I'll keep both Big Al and Dwight, because those will be MAJOR points, rebs and blocking - Dwight has led the league in rebs and been in the top 5 in blocking the last few years, and Big Al is going to improve from last year, and that'll be awesome. I'm looking at it as just about anyone except those 2 as expendable....if I can get a decent guard without trading Bibby, I think I'll keep him too. I'd like to get someone who's going to hit 3's and have a great FT%....Mike Miller, Ray Allen and Peja Stojakovic come to mind there....and just about any guard is going to be decent at steals....I have a few others that I'd like to get as well, but I don't want to give away all my secrets LOL

Anyone else have any advice for me?

[garnett_21]

Ok, I just did some research...here are my players and their ranks on certain catagories:

Al Jefferson 24th MIN, 11th PTS, 4th REBs, 13th BLK
Dwight Howard 9th MIN, 13th FG%, 13th PTs, 1st REB, 4th BLK
Mike Dunleavy 22nd MIN, 74th FT%(my best), 13th 3PM, 52nd STL (my best)
Hedo Turkoglu 15th MIN, 12th 3PM, 23rd PTS, 20th AST
Mike Bibby
David Lee 15th REB
Ryan Gomes
Marcus Williams 33rd TOs
Antonio McDyess 24th REB, 31st TO (my best)
Brook Lopez
Martell Webster (INJ) 43rd TO

so I'm looking at trading for someone who is better at FT%, STLs and ASTs...I think I could get all 3 out of 1 player, but I doubt I'll be able to trade for one player and keep the guys I want to. Aside from that, I think I am pretty good....I'm stacked with big men (5) and kinda suck at guards, but that's what I'm working on.

Some sick rosters happening!!!

@demon - Not bad for 18th, not bad at all.

@garnett - Where did you find those rankings? Yahoo?

[garnett_21]

yep, go under player lists and you can sort by the stats

[gladdyontherise]

Now everyone, here is the draft that will beat ALL of you!

1. (10) Caron Butler SF (Steal!, one of if not the most underrated in the game!)
2. (27) Steve Nash PG (he gets a decent amount of points, plus assists!)
3. (46) Ron Artest SF,PF (steals will be top 3 in the league!)
4. (63) Greg Oden C (totally hoping he does well, needed a big man though!)
5. (82) Luol Deng SG,SF (should have a bounce back year after last years struggles)
6. (99) Rajon Rondo PG (not sure what good he is but no one i thought was better)
7. (118) Thaddeus Young SF,PF (stud in the making!)
8. (135) Chris Duhon PG (thought he may get minutes once starbury is gone)
9. (154) Rodney Stuckey PG,SG (6th man of the year!)
10. (171) Darko Milicic PF,C (i was to tired i didnt realize i picked him..lol)
11. (190) Kelenna Azubuike SG,SF (with Ellis possibly out for awhile he should get some minutes)

[molly1984]

I wanted David Lee Nathan, I actually had him in my queue then you drafted him shortly before it was my pick ;)

and Dan Caron is good and so is Nash, I've had Nash on my team in past year. Great assist and 3pt #'s.

[ellogovna*123]

ello's team (copied dan's idea, lol)
1. (2) Chris Paul (A fantasy stud, and had to be a little cautious on Bryant's knee)
2. (35) Andre Iguodala (The new AI for Philly)
3. (38) Michael Redd (Great Scorer, a stud)
4. (71) Al Horford (Up-and-coming PF/C, may be a steal in R4)
5. (74) Richard Hamilton (Another stud, played it safe for most of the draft)
6. (107) Gilbert Arenas (May be a major steal after healthy)
7. (110) Nick Collison (Top 15 rebounder, Ok scorer, probably tradebait with Thomas)
8. (143) Daniel Gibson (I'll take any starter in R8)
9. (146) Louis Williams (Had a good second half, good fill in for injured players)
10. (179) Etan Thomas (1 year removed from heart surgery, and with Haywood injured, is the instant starter)
11. (182) Stephon Marbury (Hey, it might work. But highly doubt it. I give myself a week before I release him)

[ellogovna*123]

Curious how everyone did or thinks they did.
Get your fave player? Any disappointments?

Draft crashed on me on my last pick.
Somehow I ended up with pick 499 or something, Stromile Swift (injured of course).
Other than that did okay...
Ricky Davis was probably a bust.
Only regret was taking Ben Gordon over J.R. Smith.
Nice pick up future!!!

Here's my roster.
Anchorage Akitas
1. (14) Joe Johnson
2. (23) Rashard Lewis
3. (50) Kenyon Martin
4. (59) Ben Gordon
5. (86) Zydrunas Ilgauskas
6. (95) Rafer Alston
7. (122) Ricky Davis
8. (131) Linas Kleiza
9. (158) Luke Ridnour
10. (167) Josh Boone
11. (194) Stromile Swift
