BobFinn Classic Fantasy Hoops 2012-13 Draft Thread

If they keep falling, I won't mind gambling on one of the hurt guys very soon.

 

Jrue Holiday
Tyson Chandler

 

Another pick I'm not excited about.

Granger - SF

 

Still rebuilding my 2001 throwback team... Duncan. Take that, Rookie.

 

Ryan Andersen PF. ( was he center eligible last year? )

 

Damian Lilliard (PG)

 

You go kid..........Just got a peak at Sam's cheatsheet:

1. Rasheed Wallace
2. Ray Allen
3. Ron Artest
4. Marcus Camby
5. Shane Battier

 

Granger played poorly, but still averaged about 19 ppg and 5. Think he'll be worth the pick you made. I would have taken him this round for sure. probably on the manufacturing decline, that is clear, but just by being on the court alone he'll get fantasy points, and nobody will be pushing him.

Tim Duncan caught a second wind last year. And the Spurs needed him to score. So could be same thing this year. but you have to live with those sit downs and that is frustrating at times because he can go for 50 fantasy points when they are looking to get him the ball. He actually seemd to recover from scoring amnesia. Talent never left. seemed to rejuvenate.

 

Gotta give old school Shawn Marion some luv, too

 

No lie Sam...he was next on my list...I'm down with your nostalgia trip, though I'll stop short of using Rook's cheatsheet.

 

I loved the Camby man on the Rox this last year, nothing but a class act and a hard worker. And I was excited to see Battier win a ring, he deserved it, even played a significant factor in the postseason. Ray-Ray's going to lose productivity this year but dude still has the purest J I've seen. Love to watch that guy shoot the ball. But none of them are good fantasy players, anymore, in their current roles.

On the other hand, I think the following were still good draft picks:
1. Kobe Bryant (Pete, 1st pick of the 2nd round)
2. Pau Gasol (Jent, 2nd round)
3. Paul Pierce (Wink, 3rd round)
4. Zach Randolph (Fade, 4th round)
5. Tony Parker (Moes, 4th round)
6. Steve Nash (Pimps, 5th round)

and let's not forget Dirk Nowitzki (Rook, 3rd round). All of whom were playing in 2001, all picked before I started picking golden oldies. If they'd fallen a bit further, I wouldn't have minded picking those guys up, either. They can all still hoop. I'd bet Brand, Andre Miller and yeah even the Matrix all get drafted eventually, too. I'll do it if nobody else does.

Like PSJ said, Timmy can still play. He stays healthy and he produces per minute as good as anybody. Just have to deal with Pop's limiting his minutes.

 

That's way too coherent of a post for 4:45 in the morning.

 

"Big Baby" Glen Davis (C/PF) - Orlando

For some reason the site has him listed as on Detroit, but obviously I want the guy on the Magic.

 

I really wanted to grab Lillard but there's just absolutely no way to know if he's gonna be an 18 and 6-8 guy or a 15 and 4.5 guy. He'll make some 3's that's about all I felt comfortable banking on.

 

Yeah, George gets all of the love and rightfully so in a category league but Granger's production can be about the same in this format. Don't get me wrong, you still take George because of his SG eligibility and upside but I looked at Granger and said hey, worst case scenario - 17, 4.5, 3, 1.5 - that's too much of a sure thing to pass up this late.

Granger definitely isn't the sexy pick he once was... now, had I known Granger would be around this late I sure as hell wouldn't have taken Melo over Cousins.

 

One thing about deaf chicks, they can be real loud in bed because they can't hear themselves. Noises are strange. And if you visit the hearing impaired dorms at about 2am, it's a bizarre world because of this. But worth the experience. Enjoy your 10. But don't go for the death chicks next, because that involves some twisted **** on an epic scale.

 

Weirdest post in a fantasy draft thread ever??
