    Got My Fantasy Draft Tonight. Little Help?

    Gonna be honest, only my 2nd time doing NBA Fantasy and I might need a little help. I won't know for another hour what my draft position will be but it's a 10 man league, and you face off with your opponent for the whole week. Most points at end of week is the winner. What should I go for in the first few rounds? Point Guards? Any input is appreciated.

    take KD if you can get him in the first round, rose/deron/dwight/melo/bosh,westbrook whoever is available in the 2nd round, take most guards and forwards in the first few rounds, you can grab big men for your rebounds in the latter rounds, i value the scoring and assists more than the rebounds and blocked shots, because i can grab the not household names in the latter rounds to hold my rebounds
    ben wallace i think may be available in the latter rounds
    varejao maybe still available in the 6th round since you're only 10
    grab jj hickson
    blatche if you can grab him in the 5th round then it's a steal, he may have a breakout season this year since jamison is no longer around, grab mcgee in the 7th or 8th round
    millsap will be seeing major minutes this year
    marco ballinelli is a good keeper in the 9th round onwards

    windy. fantasy is my specialty man...

    you want to watch out for bosh.. westbrook. dwight howard.. kobe bryant.. derrick rose.. very over rated in fantasy... I would explain but don't have much time.. main reasons is there turnovers or they don't the 3 or bad fts, bad fgs.. really depends on what player..

    really center in all around guys.. great fantasy players:

    of course. kevin durant and chris paul... love stephen curry.. jason kidd... verry under valued.. pau gasol great fantasy player... lopez great fantasy player.. joe johnson... gerald wallace.. al hortford..

    some late round sleepers.. jj hickson.. i like robin lopez... mo williams should have a solid yr. darren colison will be very good.. (obviously a little bit earlier)

    and 1 think is i don't value scoring too much in fantasy. you need to be careful with scoring.. guys like vince carter.. russel westbrook.. paul pierce, ray allen.. they can score.. but at thisa point in their career can't not give that much else.. westbrook is obv a little bit diff. love westbrook as a player.. up and coming.. but fantasy wise. you really need point guards that can hit a 3.. very good to take care of the ball and doesnt hurt you too much in fg

    All right so we can pretty much eliminate the following. They will be gone before I pick most likely.

    Chris Paul
    Lebron James
    Kobe Bryant
    Dirk Nowitski
    Dwayne Wade

    I'm thinking Nash Or Curry and since I get to pick again I was thinking Melo, Howard, or Stoudemire.


    Anyone!??!?

    go with curry and either howard or stoudamire. amare will have a monster, but im also not as afraid of howards ft% as others are (it gets boosted quickly by curry's). and if you continue to build around howards strengths, you can dominate fg%, blocks, rebounds

    Thanks Luc. Very balanced team. Took Villanueva with the last pick in the draft. Thought that was a good pick.

    Thanks hustle, glad to hear you think that.

    Feeling good about this since you are the 2nd person to say that.

    Like I said, I know NBA very well, but I usually only do NFL fantasy. Looking forward to this.
