OFFICIAL 2014-2015 FANTASY BASKETBALL THREAD

Did you go Blake/Rose first 2 rounds? I think you could have waited on Rose a round later. Overall solid team, but a lot of injury concerns especially with your PGs.

Yeah I did, I was going to take Lillard instead but he was picked right before my pick :lol thanks man.

Just finished up my draft. 10 team. 11 category. I had the 2nd overall pick. Any feedback

Anthony Davis
Kyrie
Drummond
Horford
Kemba
Stephenson
Wes Mathews
Z-Bo
Wiggins
George Hill
Tobias Harris
Avery Bradley
John Henson
Aaron Gordon
Marcus Smart

Went with some rookie gamble picks on the last two because we're a 10 team league so the waiver wire is always filled with solid players.
 
10 team league

Right now, this is what my team looks like. Thoughts?

Kyrie
Steph Curry
Wade
Lance Stephenson
Bradley Beal
Joe Johnson
Tyreke
Terrence Ross
Kenneth Faried
Deandre Jordan
Nikola Vucevic
Hibbert
Josh McRoberts

Thinking about moving DeAndre for someone with higher percentages...

Maybe trade one of your guards for a PG that can get you more assists. Other than that, its a solid team for a 10 man league.

How many teams in this league? You pretty much win assists, steals, boards every week (strong bigs + Stephenson's 7 RPG average)
You'll compete in blocks, but you'll most definitely lose TOs, 3s. Your %s are a wash though. A lot guys cancel each other out (Rubios FG by Dwights FG, etc)
Just drafted, did I screw up?
You didn't screw up, you're like a couple trades away from being solid. You desperately need PGs. If Jarrett Jack is on waivers, you should look into him since your league rolls with deep benches. Trade Gordon, man. Don't know why so many guys get suckered into drafting him. Also, because you don't have many assists, I'd look to trade for pieces that get you assists like maybe trade Luol Deng+someone for a Chandler Parsons and move Duncan for a Marc or Pau Gasol. 
If you don't want to give away too many guys for an elite PG, look at a lower tier guy like Elfrid Payton (good steal combination with Monta) or Reggie Jackson
my first time ever doing fantasy. 12 man league, had the sixth pick. How'd I do?
For a first timer, you gotta pretty serviceable team dude. You're gonna win points every single week. 3s, blocks, steals are definitely weakspots but you can best other teams in the other major cats. Your team is all over the place (not necessarily in a bad way). I'd drop Bennett and McBuckets though. There's alot more proven SFs on waivers who I think can help your team like Chris Copeland (3s/points), Perry Jones, etc.

Don't know if that was a wise move, man. You're gonna win points for sure and compete in 3s (unless the team you're playing against a team that has Klay/Steph/Dame/etc) but your bigs aren't strong enough to win in boards weekly, you have no blocks but your overall FG/FT from your starters are strong (Mozgov/Plumlee don't get to the line enough to affect your teams overall FT). If you're punting blocks as well, you should turn Pekovic+Afflalo into Dirk (you don't need Afflalo since you have Wes/Marco chillin on your bench)
 
^Appreciate the insight. Imma let it play out for a minute.

I ogt a few players who do a little bit of everything Afflalo, Alphabet, Kobe (assuming ball will be in his hands rather than Lin's), and Joe Johnson.
 
Didn't get to do any research this year. Had the #1 pick in a 12-man league(disliked picking first since I had to wait forever until the next pick). How's my team looking?

Steph with the #1 pick is interesting. Would rather have swooped LBJ just because he has all bases covered.
First thing you gotta do, drop Patty Mills. He's gone til February. 
Never liked DeRozan as a fantasy guy. His fantasy contributions are weak (low 3s, low steals. His assists are inflated because he played 38MPG with a weak Toronto bench). Your PGs are solid but you have a lot of weakspots, man (3s, points, steals). Your strengths right now are BLKs. Build around that. Look into trading for a Larry Sanders maybe for Tobias Harris straight up so you can have your blocks covered. You can probably trade DeRozan for a Rudy Gay (has PF eligibilty and gets 1/1/1 numbers).

Thanks for the insight, man. I just wanted to draft consistent people who I know could drop 18/9 consistently. Towards the end of the draft I started nabbing guys who are sort of enigmas at the moment (Greek Freak, Dougie) but could potentially become solid contributors.
 
Shai, mines a 10 man league.

i didnt go by rankings. i would grab players i thought who would play well. I had to take Thad, waited to long for a SF
 
Last and final draft of the season. 14 Teams and I had the 14th pick so waiting was absolutely brutal.

I'm not too sure how I feel about this team. I love my bigs but my wings are pretty weak. I'm going to grab MKG when waivers open up. Who should I drop for MKG?

Your bigs are kind of weak and definitely injury prone but your guards are great.. I would try and move one of of your PGs for a solid big like Monroe or Vucevic.

Very solid team. You could probably drop Frye, there is no timtable for his return right now.
