GMTR Readers' Mock Draft 2008


.	Pick	Round	Team	Player	Pos	Fant Team	What Makes this Pick Awesome?


.	1	1-1	NOH	Chris Paul	PG	Epicte	This is a cement lock. He's got the long shot, he's got the runner, he's got A/TO, durability, steals up the wazoo, and a nice haircut.
.	2	1-2	PHX	Amare Stoudemire	PF/C	2nd Round Reach	Because CP3's gone. Kobe's awesome, but I like a lot of SGs in the early rounds. LeBron makes me draft around his TO weakness, which is a pain. So I'll take the best PF/C available in this year's draft and build around his 25/9/2 and percentages. Gimme Amare- STAT!
.	3	1-3	CLE	LeBron James	SF	Jeff's Jawai-nots	It’s LEBRON - duh! winks to Carolyn of And One Just look at his averages last season: 30 PPG, 7.9 REB, 7.2 AST, 48.4 %FG, and decent in 3s and steals. Having Mo Williams around to handle the ball could lower Bronny’s TOs, too.
.	4	1-4	LAL	Kobe Bryant	SG	REAL Batman (sean)	Near impossible to go wrong with The Mongoose. Also, I don't like The Matrix in Miami.
.	5	1-5	MIA	Shawn Marion	PF	Bucko	Marion has consistenly been one of the best if not the best fantasy contributor for years. This year is a contract year for Marion. Worst Case scenario is that Marion finishes as a first round talent, which is what I look for in my first round pick. You don't win the draft in the first round, but you can lose it. I won't have to worry about this with the matrix.
.	6	1-6	MIA	Dwyane Wade	PG/SG	Doneycat	I like the Olympic version of Wade where he was a scoring and stealing machine like in 06 and 07, and not the wheeled-off-the-court-in-tears Wade. Please fall less than 7 times and get up greater than or equal to that amount.
.	7	1-7	PHI	Elton Brand	PF/C	GiveMeTheRock	You have all fallen into my trap!!! Hahahahahahah! Yeah, I'm probably in Brand's jock a little much right now. But I like him over Garnett on a statistical level, and more than Dirk on a personal level.
.	8	1-8	DAL	Dirk Nowitzki	PF	OKC Colon Thunder	Because I'm awesome. Seriously, I chose Nowitzki because I AM awesome, as are Dirk's post All-Star stats in all three shooting percentages, the doubling up of treys, increase in scoring average, a healthy eight boards a night, and an awesomely stupid haircut at the Olympics. Now if he had the three cuts in the eyebrow like Big Daddy Kane, a leather medallion with a silhouette of Africa, and some Slick Rick gold fronts, it would have been all good.
.	9	1-9	BOS	Kevin Garnett	PF	Sexy Time (dyeyk)	Yawn. Seriously. How many years has this guy been in the 1st round? This is too easy man. Like I always say, the first round is where you draft the foundation of your team. And KG my friends, is a rock.
.	10	1-10	ATL	Josh Smith	SF/PF	SA Spurscasters	Because Sexy Time took KG. Really, Smith is a fantasy beast. Scoring, rebounds, blocks, steals and assists. What's not to love
.	11	1-11	DEN	Allen Iverson	PG/SG	Points in the Paint	Last year established that Nugget-AI is better than Philly-AI. I expect contract-year-AI to keep himself healthy and solid this season. I think I'm still getting good value considering my draft position.
.	12	1-12	UTAH	Carlos Boozer	PF/C	Alpha_Terrance	I decided to get my bigs now. When my next picks come up every C from the top two tiers will be gone. I got who I wanted. Bosh is soft, and Duncan is good, but his FG% wasnt what i wanted. Boozer has a player option for the 09-10 season that he can opt out of. I like when players are playing for new contracts. Some don't give that much consideration, I do.
.	13	2-1	MIN	Al Jefferson	PF/C	Alpha_Terrance	Jeffersons #'s have increased every year in the league. I look for that to continue as he becomes the leader of his team. I like how jeffersons FT% has increased every season, would like to see 75% this season with 1.8 blocks [1]
.	14	2-2	UTA	Deron Williams	PG	Points in the Paint	Yes I know he was a reach for early 2nd but I decided to go double PG bounce strategy. I like the old-new school remix he brings to go with AI + I lock down 2 high tier PGs in the process.
.	15	2-3	LAC	Baron Davis	PG	SA Spurscasters	I was hoping he'd fall to me in the second. I could not turn away 21, 8 and 4 per. Plus the dude wears a bullet fedora hat. That's awesome all by itself
.	16	2-4	DET	Chauncey Billups	PG	Sexy Time (dyeyk)	Perenially undervalued. All this guy has ever done is consistently put up Top 15 numbers, from a position of scarcity, for the past few years. Yet he never gets the love. This pick is no reach ladies and gentlemen, he's the real deal. I get the guy I wanted all along.
.	17	2-5	WAS	Gilbert Arenas	PG	OKC Colon Thunder	Sure there are still some concerns about Arenas' durability, but it's hard to pass up the potential for first round value here and is it just me or do we all know the value of point guards? I guess so since six of the 17 picks (more than one-third of the whole draft) have come from the lead guard position! Anyway, I'm liking the points and treys from my combo of Dirk and Agent Zero... HIBACHI!!!
.	18	2-6	WAS	Caron Butler	SF	GiveMeTheRock	Not my favorite guy, but in the middle of the second round, I can't pass him up. And he was next on the GMTR Big Board
.	19	2-7	TOR	Chris Bosh	PF/C	Doneycat	One of the 3 guys I targeted - Terr took the other 2 - me likey 50%FG and 84%FT at high volume, and big guy from IND will only help
.	20	2-8	LAC	Marcus Camby	C	Bucko	I have my hesitations about Camby this year, but when you pair him with Marion you have a great team in H2Hwhen you punt points. Camby was 2nd overall and Marion 3rd if you don't count the points category, that works for me.


.	21	2-9	IND	Danny Granger	SF	REAL Batman (sean)	His stats went all went up last year, except for fg %. However, he attempted 338 more shots. His Def boards went up to a respectable 393.
.	22	2-10	PHO	Steve Nash	PG	Jeff's Jawai-nots	Little choice here really. Stevie has the best AST number after CP3, good percentages, and hits treys. And I’ll believe Goran Dragic is a threat when I see it.
.	23	2-11	NOH	David West	PF	2nd Round Reach	This is purely a strategy pick, recognizing that Skeeter's will probably need to bounce for PF/Cs and I'll end up with only 4th tier value in the 3rd round and later if I don't grab one now. I just have to hope of of my remaining high-tier targets at other positions still exists 2 picks from now...
.	24	2-12	LAL	Andrew Bynum	C	Epicte	Going on the assumption that he is back at full strength and that working alongside Pau will help and not hurt stats like FG% (and the fact that Pau doesn't play D), I am happy with Bynum here.
.	25	3-1	ORL	Rashard Lewis	SF	Epicte	Can't pass on him in the third round. Dude is consistent, healthy, and a good source of threes.
.	26	3-2	TOR	Jose Calderon	PG	2nd Round Reach	Yeah, I'm that guy who drafted Calderon in all your leagues last year. Taking West worked out perfectly, and I'm in a very versatile position to react to who's left for me next time around...
.	27	3-3	SA	Tim Duncan	PF/C	Jeff's Jawai-nots	Big Timmy’s still ‘bounding and blocking at the ripe old age of 32. And he’s got numbers you can set your watch to. (Thank goodness he’s still C eligible.)
.	28	3-4	DAL	Jason Kidd	PG	REAL Batman (sean)	I need a PG, and I think it really drops off after him. I think he's gonna play fewer minutes and that is going to work out for him. I think he'll have more assists and fewer TOs. He has to learn to shoot high % when teams double up on Dirk.
.	29	3-5	DET	Rasheed Wallace	PF/C	Bucko	Rasheed is a stud when you give up points, he was 14th overall last year. My team is desperate for a PG but I didn't want to reach
.	30	3-6	SAC	Kevin Martin	SG	Doneycat	Martin! Kevin put up 23.7 ppg last year, and should get a bump since the Kings are less 1 Tru Warier. I really wanted to lock up some free throws with a couple of high-volume, high-percentage guys; now I can get rebounders with masonry licenses.
.	31	3-7	WAS	Antawn Jamison	F	GiveMeTheRock	Betting my team on the first month of the season now, I guess. Antawn should have been gone at 20 according to the Big Board though, and he's one of few second tier players left.
.	32	3-8	POR	Brandon Roy	PG/SG	OKC Colon Thunder	I've been following Roy since high school... and i don't mean in a Dateline sort of way. Roy can do it all - score, dish, board, hit the trey, and get a steal on the regular. In the third round, I think he's a great value pick that will complement my first two picks, as well as all the picks I will be making.
.	33	3-9	ATL	Joe Johnson	SG	Sexy Time (dyeyk)	Mike Bibby and Joe Johnson just clicked. I dunno if it was the extra butt slaps Mike Bibby gave JJ every time he made a 3, or that crazy Mini-Me impersonation he does, but once he came to town, JJ just shot up the rankings to top 16. Out of all the high-profile guys left on the board, JJ was the only one with the least question marks. At worst, this guy is still top 50 and 82 game durable. You just can't go wrong. Once again, I got the guy I was targeting all along.
.	34	3-10	ORL	Dwight Howard	C	SA Spurscasters	I didn't want to wait too much longer to grab a center and I don't know that there's a better center on the board. He'll definitely provide a boost to my rebounding and blocks. Plus, he' Superman, that's awesome enough.
.	35	3-11	MEM	Rudy Gay	SF	Points in the Paint	I expect good things from Rudy. TOP 20 material here in the making. He contributes across the board and his name will always end up as a conversation piece.
.	36	3-12	LAL	Pau Gasol	PF	Alpha_Terrance	This was a value pick. I think Gasol is worth a late second, early third pick. Gasol likely fell this far due to uncertainty about how he'll play alongside bynum. To me, this has been my best pick so far. It didnt fit into my strategy that well, but the value is there. I look for 18 8 and 4 with 1.5 to 2 blks with great FG%. Im not sold on Gasol as a 80% FT shooter, but thats not why i made this pick. If gasol is available at pick 36, I think you have to take him
.	37	4-1	DEN	Carmelo Anthony	SF	Alpha_Terrance	Im not big on taking SF this early in the draft, but it was too early to take a PG and there are no other centers or PFs to take worth a 37 pick. This is the time to grab a top tier SF. Anthony is as consistent as they come and has a good all around game in case I need to recreate my team in midseason. 27-7-4 with decent high volume %s
.	38	4-2	BOS	Paul Pierce	SF	Points in the Paint	This was a matter of overconfidence biting me in the butt. I was SO sure Pau would reach me. Didn't see 3 straight PF/C picks coming. So I ended up picking PP for sheer value and decided to improve on the small ball i got going on.
.	39	4-3	PHI	Andre Iguodala	SG	SA Spurscasters	Puts up great fantasy numbers and with a better team around him and another go-to-guy, I think he'll have a great yearDude's a fantasy beast
.	40	4-4	HOU	Yao Ming	C	Sexy Time (dyeyk)	I thought long and hard about this pick and really, there's no easy way to justify the immense risk you take with Yao Ming. He's Top 10 when he's on the court, but he has to be ON THE COURT. However there was simply no other talent left on the board that struck me as a can’t miss player in the 4th round. Don't get me wrong, I'm not banking on Yao playing 80 games at all. But despite all the games that he misses, save for last year’s season ending injury, Yao has always gutted it out during March-April (incidentally the H2H playoffs). With that in mind, I’m pretty confident that I have drafted a solid enough core that can withstand the games Yao will surely miss. Finally do not underestimate the fact that the Rockets will be in serious championship contention this year. Expect them to gut it out even more as money season approaches.


.	41	4-5	GS	Jason Richardson	SG/SF	OKC Colon Thunder	J-Rich does it all... no, seriously... sure we all know him to be a scorer and totally awesome dunker, but he also hits from beyond the arch on the regular AND he is one of the better rebounding guards, dishes off about three dimes a game, and can get in the passing lanes and steal a ball or two. Getting Richardson here in the fourth round is more solid than my love handles after a night of Breyers ice cream indulging... DON'T JUDGE ME!
.	42	4-6	NJN	Vince Carter	GF	GiveMeTheRock	Not the kind of 4th round pick I want, but Ihe did finish pretty high last year, and has been playing games... so as long as he doesn't pull a pouty on me, I guess I'm okay with it.
.	43	4-7	IND	Mike Dunleavy	SG/SF	Doneycat	I’m still amazed by his 07-08 season. I could have sworn he turned it over more times per game than he actually did; he ain’t too shabby there. Don’t mind if I add another 80% FG shooter. He can get 20 a night and he’ll continue to shoot 3’s in Jim O’Brien’s system – and please do. And Mike, thanks again for those 3 threes against Arizona in the 2001 NCAA finals.
.	44	4-8	BOS	Ray Allen	SG	Bucko	Needed to get a guard, Allen fit in my best with my strategy
.	45	4-9	SAC	Brad Miller	C	REAL Batman (sean)	i need a C, and his FT% is much higher than the other guys available. i'm a little worried b/c i want more than 35 minutes from my 4th pick, but maybe that's ok for a C.
.	46	4-10	ORL	Hedo Turkoglu	SG/SF	Jeff's Jawai-nots	His 3 TOs a game is ugly, but 20/6/5 (and 2 treys) is real purty.
.	47	4-11	PHI	Andre Miller	PG	2nd Round Reach	Plenty of decent SGs still on the board, and at least 2 obvious targets for my next pick. I like Miller to shore up my assists and not kill me in turnovers, and I'm counting on Brand creating enough open looks that his FG% stays nice and high.
.	48	4-12	HOU	Ron Artest	SF	Epicte	WhenMcGrady and/or Yao go down, this pick is going to be even sweeter. But at 48, the STLs/#s and PTS from Ron Ron is definitely worth it.
.	49	5-1	LAC	Chris Kaman	C	Epicte	Camby is an inside presence, but not a huge scorer. Yes, Baron D will be getting his in LA, but with Brand gone (see most of last season) the K man gets it done. Besides Biedrins (and Okur, if you're going small ball), the C drop-off is steep.
.	50	5-2	GSW	Andris Biedrins	C	2nd Round Reach	Maybe I'm not as high on Biedrins as some people are, but I have to expect that if the Warriors are going to pay him that deal, they expect him to keep growing. I need those blocks to rise for this pick to have value. Believe it or not, this pick was very nearly LaMarcus Aldridge or Gerald Wallace, but the former was a reach and the latter might die if he gets concussed again while playing PF for the 'Cats. Biedrins was the last real center on the board before the drop off...
.	51	5-3	SA	Manu Ginobili	SG	Jeff's Jawai-nots	Yes, he may be out till January. Yes, the Spurs stopped contract talks till they see how he recovers... What was my point again? Oh yeah. Manu is still a top 30 fantasy player, good value at 51.
.	52	5-4	CHA	Gerald Wallace	SF	REAL Batman (sean)	G-Wall is one of my favorite players. I thought he would go lower than the 50s. He has some monster games point wise, but he's consistant enough in all the cats that this was maybe my easiest pick so far.
.	53	5-5	CLE	Mo Williams	PG	Bucko	I needed a PG, his scoring might be down, but his assists will be up this year, which is exactly what my team needs right about noe.
.	54	5-6	UTA	Mehmet Okur	PF/C	Doneycat	I’m counting on the post-All-Star break Okur who went for 17ppg/10rpg with nearly 2 3’s a game and 48% from the field. He’s another 80% FT shooter, which I like. Here’s to hoping he turns it on in a player option year. A little D would be nice, but I guess that’s why he’s a 5th round center, and not a 2nd round center.
.	55	5-7	MIL	Michael Redd	GF	GiveMeTheRock	Um... yeah, I think I just realized I am subconsciously building a mid-ball team. Good thing this is just practice for my real leagues, where hopefully I can avoid doing that... Not sure I really have any other choice at this point, though.
.	56	5-8	NO	Tyson Chandler	C	OKC Colon Thunder	The charity stripe will kill me, but I'll take the trade-off at FG%. Chandler should still be a rebounding machine and get his points... looking at another double-double campaign from Chandler! Getting more blocks would be nice, but oh well, I guess you can't get everything, right?
.	57	5-9	MIL	Andrew Bogut	C	Sexy Time (dyeyk)	The Aussie Sensation posted another year of improvements across the board, most notable was the jump in his blocks to 1.8. His post-break splits were also pretty good, putting him in the top 50. The man was also killing international competition in the Olympic qualifier before suffering a sprain. Oh and he shaved his mop-top too. Mmmm..
.	58	5-10	GSW	Stephen Jackson	SG	SA Spurscasters	I needed to adress three-point shooting and fg/ft percentages. Jackson is also capable of going off and scoring in bunches. He loves to take the three, and when he's on, it falls in quite a bit
.	59	5-11	NO	Peja Stojakovic		Points in the Paint	My small ball strategy was still a bit soft in the 3-point department until I made this pick. He's in a good team plus I can also count on CP3 to make sure Peja gets his open shots from behind the arc!
.	60	5-12	LAL	Lamar Odom	SF/PF	Alpha_Terrance	Going by BM ranking w/o TOs, Odom got a helluva lot better after Gasol was traded to the Lakers. This makes sense because Odom never struck me as a guy who will take over a game. Odom like to defer, I think odom is at his best when hes not counted on to make shots, but rather makes plays. Odom is a great passer who can find the open man, and a shoot second type of player. I think bynum gasol and bryant help odom. Odoms FG% went from 53% before gasol to 59% after gasol. 14-9-4-4.5 is within reason with a stl and a blk to boot. Worth the 60th pick


.	61	6-1	POR	Greg Oden	C	Alpha_Terrance	Personally, I think this is a little high for somebody who has never played a game in the NBA. If Oden gets me 10-10 and 2 blks, Ill be a little dissappointed, as i couldve got that two rounds from now with sam dalembert. A risky pick for sure. If i had drafted bosh earlier instead of boozer, this pick wouldve been someone else. Obviously, Im getting to the point where i have to consider punting 3's and FT. Lets see how this plays out.
.	62	6-2	PHI	Samuel Dalembert	C	Points in the Paint	I felt it was finally time to get a Center. Even though I feel my small ball strategy is fun, somehow the thought of having a Kendrick Perkins as my primary C left a sour taste in my mouth. No offense Ken! I feel I'm getting a decent C start with considering I waited this long to grab one.
.	63	6-3	POR	LaMarcus Aldridge	PF	SA Spurscasters	I needed a 4 and Aldridge was the best pick for me. I like his numbers from last season and he should be able to score a little easier now that defnses ll be focused on Oden in the paint
.	64	6-4	NJN	Devin Harris	PG	Sexy Time (dyeyk)	All Upside. That's what this pick is. Harris was showing signs of becoming a multi-cat contributor last year, and even more so when he got traded to the Nets. I like to compare his value to how Andre Iguodala fared the first time the reigns of a team was handed to him. When AI was traded mid-season, AI2 wasn't ready, and the result was a valuable yet inconsistent/inefficient player. A year later, he was more prepared. He got his act together and his value rose. I expect the same from Harris this year. (And no, I don't really consider VC to be the leader of the Nets. Do you? :P)
.	65	6-5	HOU	Tracy McGrady	SG/SF	OKC Colon Thunder	The man is too talented to let him keep chillin' on the draft board at this point. Injury-prone... yes. Older... yes. Looks like Droopy Dog... yes. If you don't know who Droopy Dog is, Google the damn thing! Basically, I'm talking about a "Mary Jane" haze in the eyes. In any case, you're talking about a potential 20/5/5 guy with a trey, rip, and bad percentages which I expect to get better from the field with the addition of Ron-Ron. T-Mac will be REVITALIZED!!!
.	66	6-6	IND	Troy Murphy	FC	GiveMeTheRock	Well, I kind of have to make this pick now. Besides Okur, he's one of the only C's who can fit my doomed-to-failure (thanks subconcious) midball strategy. Let this be a lesson to readers that this is what happens when you don't have a strategy and think you can just take the best player available. Especially if your favorite kind of players are the ones who rebound and make threes and don't do anything else.
.	67	6-7	OKC	Kevin Durant	SG/SF	Doneycat	GMTR mock draft history – first Thunder player ever taken! KD35 is in the much ballyhooed 1 steal / 1 block club, and there’s a chance he could get 1 three a game this year as well, which is high-end Vegas club exclusive. 08 ROTY is money from the line at over 87% and he’ll make a few trips to the stripe each night. I’ll take his TO’s, and he’ll be the fifth guy on my team to score over 20 and shoot > 80% FT.
.	68	6-8	UTA	Andrei Kirilenko	SF	Bucko	When you take away points, Kiri was 25th overall last year. Not bad getting him at 68. The give up points strategy is starting to pay dividends.
.	69	6-9	DAL	Josh Howard	G	REAL Batman (sean)	Some stats have gone down and some have gone up. I think I like his increased points, assists minutes and defensive boards. Hopefully he'll be able to pick up some of his other stats that went down.
.	70	6-10	ATL	Al Horford	PF/C	Jeff's Jawai-nots	Boy, the centers are flying off the board (thanks a lot, Terrance). With that said, Horford averaged a double-double in his rookie year AND hit his freebies. Plans in Atlanta involve him shifting to PF, so his offensive numbers should improve.
.	71	6-11	GSW	Monta Ellis	PG/SG	2nd Round Reach	Monta falling to me here is just too perfect. He's the last guard on the board with the potential for serious fantasy stardom, is SG eligible in practically every league, and happens to compliment my team's biggest strengths. While there are definitely other good values remaining, I don't think it's too much a gamble to count on him being up to speed as THE MAN in Oakland by January.
.	72	6-12	GSW	Corey Maggette	SG/SF	Epicte	One good warrior deserves another. Maggette is going to kill in a Nelly-ball system, and he's going to buoy my FT%.
.	73	7-1	NYK	Jamal Crawford	SG	Epicte	Rotoevil knows what's up - Crawford is 5-6th round value, and in D'Antoni's system he could be worthy of even late 4th round. I feel a lot better about my guard situation now.
.	74	7-2	CLE	Zydrunas Ilgauskas	C	2nd Round Reach	Pretty simple. Even if the boards recede a little, he'll still block a shot and a half per and hit his free throws. What more could I want from a 7th round C?
.	75	7-3	DAL	Jason Terry	PG/SG	Jeff's Jawai-nots	It’s time to fill a need (PG/SG and FT%) and JET does it well. An above-average fantasy guard since 2003/2004.
.	76	7-4	CHA	Emeka Okafor	FC	REAL Batman (sean)	Will fill in later
.	77	7-5	TOR	Jamario Moon	SG/SF	Bucko	Moon is a guy you have to draft if you are giving up points. He ranked 31 last year as a rookie when not counting points. I might have been able to get him later but since there was nobody on the board that I liked, I snagged him. In a live draft I might have tried to trade down.
.	78	7-6	NYK	David Lee	PF/C	Doneycat	Some guys you just like and latch onto – David Lee is my El Guapo, in a good way. While he doesn’t score 20+ like others on my squad (you have to want it, Dave), his percentages are rock solid and he won’t give the ball to the other team, unlike some Knicks (rhymes with Reddy Flurry). A few more defensive counting stats would be nice, but I can see him average a double-double, like he did after the AS break. If D’Antoni doesn’t play him 30+ minutes, he should get his head checked in 7 seconds or less.
.	79	7-7	ATL	Mike Bibby	PG	GiveMeTheRock	Bibby was pretty awesome after getting to Hotlanta last season, so I'm counting on much more of that. I'm hoping he'll at least get me a couple wins in Assists over the course of the season against Big Ball teams. Other than that, he's solid on 3s and steals, and has a decent enough FT%.
.	80	7-8	MIN	Mike Miller	GF	OKC Colon Thunder	At this point, I should probably take a PG to make up my pre-surgery announcement choice of Gilbert Arenas, but none of the PGs available it enticing enough for me to pick them now. Although there are several left that I'll be happy taking in the next couple of rounds. But, for now, I'll draft a guy who should be THE GUY on the perimeter who should get some solid looks from the outside because of the presence of a low-post threat... ladies and gentlemen... Mike Miller. We know he can hit the trey, shoot solidly from the outside, even contribute significantly (for his position) in the boards and dimes categories. Minny might be cold, but Miller's shooting hand should be hot.


.	81	7-9	TOR	Jermaine O'Neal	C	Sexy Time (dyeyk)	I guess there’s nothing new you can say about JO playing for the Raps by now. Everyone has been fascinated by the possibilities (and the risks) ever since the trade went down. Bottom line, the man is a former MVP candidate and is absolutely giddy to play for the Raps (translation: crush the bones of any fool who stands in his path). Me likey.
.	82	7-10	SAN	Tony Parker	PG	SA Spurscasters	I liked him better than anyone else on the board, and he'll give me strong numbers as a backup pg. His assists keep increasing every year and his fg& has been constantly improving since he began working with Chip Engelland. I doubt he has reached his prime and with Manu out for a while, he'll get the ball on offense a lot more.
.	83	7-11	MIA	Michael Beasley	SF/PF	Points in the Paint	I drafted myself into a corner by ignoring the big man positions for far too long. As a result I now have to pay the youth tax and roll the dice with Beasley just to fill the 4-spot on my roster. Here's to hoping the HEAT knew what they were doing on draft night. I guess its MY turn to say that I'm happy this is just PRACTICE!
.	84	7-12	CHI	Kirk Hinrich	PG/SG	Alpha_Terrance	Lets face it, Chicago was a disaster last season. Scott Skiles never seemed to have control of the team and hinrich wasnt the only bull who looked lost. Hinrichs game didnt just disappear, he was one of the most consistent Gs in the game before last season. You could easily pencil him in for 15 pts, 4 reb, 6 ast, 1 stl, %80FT, 1.5 3s/gm. With Del Nelgro (the former Phoenix assistant Coach) in tow, I expect the bulls to push the pace a little bit. Even if Hinrich is moved over to SG, Hinrich should revert back to his old self. If not, Im comfortable with the risk at pick 85
.	85	8-1	IND	T.J. Ford		Alpha_Terrance	I needed a pass first PG and I think Ford was the best available. Little will change from the Raptors to the Pacers. The Pacers are expected to Run alot this season. Fords per 35 min #s come out to 18pts 9ast 2.5 reb 1.6 stl with solid %s. That puts ford in the top 40 last season. Ill take that in round 8. Fords previous injuries didnt bother me at all. Im confident in this pick.
.	86	8-2	GSW	Al Harrington	PF/C	Points in the Paint	While waiting on Monta's recovery, Don Nelson will be looking for some guys to step up and score. Al's the most likely candidate. Hopefully he'll earn enough brownie points to earn a consistent starting spot or at least starter's minutes. That hairline of an upside is enough for me to pick this C-eligible cough guy.
.	87	8-3	DET	Richard Hamilton	SG	SA Spurscasters	It's about time I address shooting percentages and Rip improved bother fg% and 3pt%. Aside from that, I can expect 18-20 pts, a few rebounds and a steal.
.	88	8-4	CHI	Luol Deng	SF	Sexy Time (dyeyk)	I look at the draft pool and Luol Deng just stands out. After him, everybody else are just specialists and question marks. That being said, Luol got his big fat contract this summer signifying that he is now “The Man” in Chi. It doesn’t hurt that he is currently killing in the Euroleague qualifier as well (25-ish pts 1.4 blocks per). He can easily average 20 1 1 8 and good %s this year. I’ll gladly get that in the 8th my good sirs.
.	89	8-5	NYK	Zach Randolph	PF	OKC Colon Thunder	Zach Randolph is essentially greedy. However, that’s a good thing in fantasy basketball because what do I care if he gets along with his teammates or not. “Z-Bo, you do you… get that 20/10, SON!” Anyway, I believe that despite being in a D’Antoni 7 seconds or less system, Z-Bo will still succeed. Why? Because he won’t waste four seconds dribbling, backing down his man, or pretending to look for a teammate (personally, if there was a stat called “accident assists,” Randolph would lead the league)… he’ll just straight up shoot the ball. And if you don’t like it, Z-Bo will sit on you. Essentially, Randolph will be Oliver Miller at Arkansas during Nolan Richardson’s “40 minutes of hell” – a NON-posterier-challenged big man that will succeed amongst a bunch of Lilliputians running up and down the court. For the record, I’m a Knicks fan and it was difficult for me to make this choice. difficult for me to make this choice.
.	90	8-6	TOR	Anthony Parker	GF	GiveMeTheRock	Parker seems to fit pretty well with this team, and he was on the upswing at the end of last season... Hopefully he'll keep that up.
.	91	8-7	MIL	Richard Jefferson	SF	Doneycat	I have a feeling Bucko is not going “Damn! That’s who I wanted!” with this pick. With 5 20+ a night scorers on my team, I figured I needed 1 more so a can work on other cats in the later rounds. He gets to the line a bunch, and he’s right around the 80% mark, so he’ll fit right in once he pulls on the Doneycats jersey (navy, maroon, and gold like the old Nuggets jerseys). I’m not worried about the TO’s since I’m already high on that. He could rebound and/or pass more, but why start now? I’ll take a steal a night. I don’t even mind that he’s now playing where the Algonquin Indians called “the good land”. His FG% and 3’s made both went up once Kidd left Exit 16W. Now please, don’t read my FCP Draft Guide article “5 potential busts who have never been on my team (#4)”.
.	92	8-8	BOS	Rajon Rondo	PG	Bucko	Rondo fits my team well. He makes me really good at steals and with him I think I can be competitive in Assists. His FG% should help too, I know he doesn't shoot a lot, but neither do the other players on my team.
.	93	8-9	PHO	Raja Bell	G	REAL Batman (sean)	coming soon...
.	94	8-10	PHO	Leandro Barbosa	G	Jeff's Jawai-nots	Leandro’s too good to leave on the board at this point. He might miss the D’Antoni brothers and he wasn’t happy with management at the end of last season, but he’s still a high-quality fantasy guard worth taking a little chance on.
.	95	8-11	UTA	Ronnie Brewer	SG	2nd Round Reach	His percentages are just sick, and his 1.7 steals per fortifies my strength in that category. Given the crazy value he posted last year, I'm honestly a little shocked he even fell this far down to me, but I'm not complaining. I needed another healthy SG to start until Monta's ready to go and I think I just got the ideal guy.
.	96	8-12	MIN	Randy Foye	G	Epicte	Assuming his knee cap doesn't slide off his leg, Foye is going to be running the Minny offense and getting his. Look at his last 2 months of 07-08. That's value, baby.
.	97	9-1	SAC	John Salmons	G/F	Epicte	I feel better about Salmons at this point than Garcia. I like Salmons percentages and rebound numbers from the G slot. Dude also gives you 1+ steals a game.
.	98	9-2	ATL	Marvin Williams	SF	2nd Round Reach	I think the 9th round is a good time to grab my first SF. He fits the bill with some boards, nice percentages, more than a steal and less than 2 TOs per. I don't expect him to blow up with potential, but he's finally #1 on the depth chart and ought to be a rock solid contributor with those minutes.
.	99	9-3	MIN	Kevin Love	FC	Jeff's Jawai-nots	Well, looks like I have to pay the youth tax, too. With a small-ball team like mine, Love fits in with his projected passing and scoring stats. And with solid centers ahead of him on my team, I can afford to take another semi-risk. (For the record, I was hoping for Marvin Williams to fall to me.)
.	100	9-4	DET	Tayshaun Prince	SF	REAL Batman (sean)	When he gets his computer fixed, Sean will fill this in


.	101	9-5	HOU	Shane Battier	SG/SF	Bucko	Getting Battier at 101 is a steal for my team. Battier finished 40th overall last year when you take out points. The give up points stratedy is working well. This is what I expected, the later in the draft we get the more valuable my picks are becoming.
.	102	9-6	ORL	Jameer Nelson	PG	Doneycat	I don’t expect huge things from Jameer this year, but I see better things. His main competition has been scattered across the globe to places the State Department issues warnings about: Arroyo to Tel Aviv, and Dooling to East Rutherford, NJ. So while last year he averaged 28 mpg, he should be closer to 35 mpg (Anthony Johnson should not be getting more than 15 minutes per night on a playoff team). So I’ll take 5-6 dimes a contest, and the few FT’s he takes, he should make most of them. Again, stealing the ball would be nice; just get in the way some more, you should get a few a week.
.	103	9-7	SAC	Francisco Garcia	GF	GiveMeTheRock	Another perfect midball player. He's a GF on Yahoo, and makes 3s, gets steals, shoots decent %s, doesn't turn the ball over much, and he's exactly ranked at 103 on the GMTR Big Board. Must be destiny.
.	104	9-8	HOU	Rafer Alston	PG	OKC Colon Thunder	I wanted to take a point guard sooner than this to make up for my loss of Gilbert Arenas, but point guards like Mike Bibby, Tony Parker, T.J. Ford, and Kirk Hinrich were all taken... oh well. Luckily, I have players like Brandon Roy and Tracy McGrady who can contribute to the assists column. As can Skip To My Lou, Rafer Alston. However, not only does Rafer get the dimes, but he can rip rocks, hit the trey, and score decently. Getting him down this late, I'm happy for sure! I think he'll actually end up proving more valuable than this spot at 104th overall.
.	105	9-9	CHA	Raymond Felton	PG	Sexy Time (dyeyk)	This is the first time that RF is going to play with a REAL NBA coach who’s going to give him a specific role and I expect him to flourish. Maybe giving free reign to the talented young PG was too much and a bit of structure might be needed to get him back on track (same story with Chauncey, and look at how that turned out). I’m not too worried about that DJ kid, LB has had long history of not playing rooks and not really knowing what he wants (remember when he really really REALLY wanted Steve Francis? :P)
.	106	9-10	HOU	Luis Scola	PF	SA Spurscasters	It may be a risk, but I need a big, and Scola played very well in the playoffs and we all saw what he did in the Olympics, especially against the United States. I think he's going to have a great year and should get more time at the four.
.	107	9-11	LAC	Ricky Davis	SG/SF	Points in the Paint	Call me a stubborn and persistent MoFo if you want, but I am sticking with this guy! I originally pegged him as a sleeper for last year but the trade to Miami soured his upside. Now that he's with the Clippers I fully expect him to live up to his full fantasy comeback potential. He and Baron Davis will run the floor senseless and just kill on the fastbreak. He can create his own shot, shoot 3s and add some steals to my small ball team quite nicely!
.	108	9-12	SAC	Beno Udrih	PG	Alpha_Terrance	Last of the acceptable PGs. If he gets 35 min/gm, Id say 13-2-5 with good %s. Not much else and not much upside IMO.
.	109	10-1	CHI	Ben Gordon	SG	Alpha_Terrance	word is, hes going to sign the one year 6 mil deal instead of heading to russia. Is that good? Your guess is as good as mine.
.	110	10-2	MEM	OJ Mayo	SG	Points in the Paint	This is the original zone I wanted to grab my first rookie. My Michael Beasley pick changed the timing, but I decided to go ahead and pick the rook who I thought had just the right amount of upside for this round. Not only does OJ Mayo hedge my Rudy Gay pick, but I firmly believe that his value is really worth this spot. He will slide in as the immediate number 2 guy over at Memphis and will greatly benefit from Rudy's tutelage. I expect him to score and give me some 3s, steals, and a few dimes here and there.
.	111	10-3	UTA	Kyle Korver	SF	SA Spurscasters	later
.	112	10-4	DEN	JR Smith	SG	Sexy Time (dyeyk)	Ladies and gentlemen, meet the new Raja Bell. He’ll single handedly win you the 3’s cat and he comes off the bench to boot (aka UPSIDE ALERT). Yey!
.	113	10-5	MIL	Ramon Sessions	PG	OKC Colon Thunder	Taking a HUGE chance on some HUGE upside here, which means I hope Luke Ridnour hurts himself, but as a starter, Sessions averaged 13 points and 13 assists with about two steals. I'm definitely going early on a sleeper pick, but EFF IT! I like the upside a lot here and with RJ filling the lanes and Redd hitting J's, I'm happy with the pick.
.	114	10-6	PHO	Grant Hill	GF	GiveMeTheRock	Out of about the next 20 guys on my board, Grant Hill is the one who fits with the rest of my lineup the best. Considering he ended last season at 54 on the player rater, I think he's a steal at 100+. He should easily make that ranking, and according to Patrick and I, end up somewhere between 74 and 88. Either way, that makes this a pretty decent value pick. A little birdie told me that this is who Jeff wanted with the next pick, too, so it must be right on track.
.	115	10-7	OKC	Nick Collison	PF/C	Doneycat	I like ‘em big and boardiful (Spellcheck does not like boardiful). Nick can go for a double-double each night and not hurt %’s, and won’t do anything negative or spectacular. Looking at my roster, I now have 2 Thunder players (Thunderinos? Thunderers? Thundi?) and 4 white guys. This will be known as “winning ugly”.
.	116	10-8	PHI	Thaddeus Young	SF	Bucko	Debating between two players and being a philly guy I made the homer pick of the two. I think Thaddeus will develop more this year and be a player to help in the defensive stats as well as FG%.
.	117	10-9	WAS	Brendan Haywood	C	REAL Batman (sean)	His FT went up and he has a 1.7 blocks per game stat i like at this point in the draft. 53% FG. ok.
.	118	10-10	OKC	Earl Watson	PG	Jeff's Jawai-nots	I wanted another true PG for my small-ball team, and Watson fits the bill. He should get a lot of minutes since rookie Westbrook isn’t ready to run an NBA team ... I don’t think.
.	119	10-11	CHI	Joakim Noah	C	2nd Round Reach	Nick Collison was the target for this pick, but I got beat to the punch. Noah's a nice consolation prize though- he's now first on the depth chart and not likely to lose his starting role this season. I think Noah's going to 7-8 rebounds with maybe a block and a steal per game, which is all I'm looking for from this draft position.
.	120	10-12	MIN	Ryan Gomes	SF/PF	Epicte	He's one of those guys you see at the gym (only bigger and paid to play professional basketball) who just strikes you as a 'solid' pick. He'll give ya a 3, a steal, and decent FT%. He won't demand the rock, and he'll pass you the ball when you're open. High five for Gomes. He'll see a lot of open looks with Big Al and The Loveburger inside.


.	121	11-1	DEN	Kenyon Martin	PF	Epicte	FG% at decent volume, a steal, a block... And with Camby gone, he may be cashing in some more rebounds, assuming his knee doesn't explode (that's my caveat for half my picks - not a good sign!).
.	122	11-2	DEN	Anthony Carter	PG	2nd Round Reach	Carter is a quietly great pick. His only real competition for the role of Nuggs starting point is the even-older Chucky Atkins, who will miss training camp and the first few weeks of the year following knee surgery. There aren't too many guards who give you over 5 assists and 1.5 steals per game this late in the draft, making Carter a great addition to the 2RR squad.
.	123	11-3	PHO	Matt Barnes	SF	Jeff's Jawai-nots	Barnes is expected to start for the Suns this year, so he should benefit greatly from Nash’s dimes. And being able to play three positions means (potentially) lots of court time.
.	124	11-4	NYK	Nate Robinson	SG	REAL Batman (sean)	Points, assists and something called turnovers went up last year, as well as minutes. He has Heart, and like I always say: "you can't teach Heart".
.	125	11-5	DEN	Nene Hilario	C	Bucko	Well he's starting at center to start the season and he can average over a block and a steal a game. Everyone knows the problem with Nene is health. At 125 I'm willing to roll the dice especially in a league that I won't be able to drop him if he does go down, but Grant Hill is off the board and Nene is the Grant Hill of the center position.
.	126	11-6	WAS	DeShawn Stevenson	SG	Doneycat	DeShawn, I need you to stay about 25 feet away from the basket, 23 if you’re in the corner. If the ball bounces out in that area, feel free to pick it up. Just make enough threes to keep Nick Young on the bench. Oh, and make some threes
.	127	11-7	DEN	Linas Kleiza	GF	GiveMeTheRock	Another swing man! Whaddaya know? He's at 134 on the Big Board, so not too much of a stretch here. I'm sure the other guys I was considering will be gone by my next pick, but I just couldn't let Linas go by.
.	128	11-8	BOS	Kendrick Perkins	C	OKC Colon Thunder	I need blocks. Perkins had a good post All-Star showing, basically posting a 7 and 7 with a couple of blocks per game, as well as shooting 65% from the field... and 67% from the line, which is AWESOME from a center. I'm hoping that Perkins contributions to an NBA title helps him improve this coming season and he takes his game to another level. Either way, I'd be happy to get his second half numbers again for a whole season.
.	129	11-9	MIN	Rashad McCants	SG	Sexy Time (dyeyk)	Another player who’s been very productive despite coming off the bench. I’d prefer that the Wolves run a lineup of Foye, McCants, Miller, Love, Jefferson as I think that McCants is a very talented player but was hampered by injury troubles early in his career. There is still some upside here, so I like this pick.
.	130	11-10	OKC	Russel Westbrook	PG	SA Spurscasters	I figured it's late enough to take a risky pick. Westbrook isn't a pure pg, but he's freakishly athletic and will get to the basket and put up a lot of points. He reminds me a bit of Monta Ellis, and this late I'm not looking for a huge contribution.
.	131	11-11	MIL	Charlie Villanueva	SF/PF	Points in the Paint	I was so happy when Charlie was available to me at this point. He's a big man with the ability to contribute some treys and steals for me and is also a guy I see to have some considerable upside now that the Chinese Diva (aka Yi Jianlian) has left the Bucks and will no longer be eating into Charlie's "comeback" minutes. He's fully capable of joining the 1+ trey, steal and block club - it just fits his skill set and style of play. I was certain that he wouldn't be in the pool in later rounds for me to grab andas Terrance has admitted, I was spot on. I'm VERY happy with this pick right here. Go Charlie!
.	132	11-12	CHI	Drew Gooden	PF	Alpha_Terrance	I wanted Villanueva here, but Ill gladly take Drew Gooden. The bulls frontcourt is inexperienced with Joe Smith leaving for OKC. That only leaves ty thomas and joakim noah. The minutes are there and I all I really want is a player with 30+ minutes/gm with this pick.
.	133	12-1	MEM	Mike Conley	PG	Alpha_Terrance	Its going to be tough for Mike Conley to get 30+ min/gm with Jaric and Lowry in the fold. I had my eye on two other players with this pick, but I think they may fall to me and I didnt think Conley would. This is an limited upside pick. Ill take 12pts, 3 reb, 5 assists and a 1stl/gm. Anything more and Ill be happy
.	134	12-2	MIA	Chris Quinn	PG/SG	Points in the Paint	This was supposed to be Boobie Gibson, but I am pretty secure with the amount of 3s my roster can churn out. I needed a guy with assists and Derrick Rose would have ended up as my 3rd rookie and I felt that would be pushing it. Chris will benefit from white chocolate's departure from the HEAT. He showed passing and scoring ability towards the end of last season. Hopefully it earned him enough credit to win the starting PG job at Miami!
.	135	12-3	MIA	Udonis Haslem	PF	SA Spurscasters	Boards, boards, boards
.	136	12-4	ORL	Mickael Pietrus	SG	Sexy Time (dyeyk)	Coz everyone else was about to pick him? No. Seriously. Anyway, I was quite ecstatic actually when I realized that Mike P. provided exactly the stats that I was looking to solidify on. Was looking to push my rebs, steals and 3’s higher (with blocks to boot :P) and this guy couldn’t have been more perfect. I also like that fact that even with limited minutes, he’s been pretty productive. So the upside of 30 regular minutes could be huge.
.	137	12-5	MEM	Darko Milicic	C	OKC Colon Thunder	I was a huge fan of Milicic going into last season and this season, I still believe in the upside, especially for blocks. Considering no one can play defense on the perimeter, we'll see if Mayo's defensive skills translate in the L, Milicic will get his fair share of blocks.
.	138	12-6	POR	Travis Outlaw	F	GiveMeTheRock	There was maybe one guy ahead of Outlaw on the Big Board who could fit with my team, but I feel like Outlaw can be very efficient even if his minutes don't go up this season. He's got my defensive categories and showed signs up being an 80% free throw shooter last year.
.	139	12-7	POR	Rudy Fernandez	PG/SG	Doneycat	Spaniard! Spaniard! Spaniard! We will be entertained, and Western Conference foes will be vexed, verily. Rudy! Rudy! Rudy! 6 foot something, 100 and something pounds, more than a few specks of athletic ability. I can see plenty of threes, maybe some steals; percentages could be anywhere (but will be higher if he keeps dunking on guys like D-12), but this guy needs to be on the court.
.	140	12-8	CHI	Derrick Rose	PG	Bucko	I needed to pick up my assists some and at this point in the draft Rose as a pretty high ceiling/upside. I think everyone might have been a little too worried about paying the youth tax.


.	141	12-9	IND	Jarrett Jack	PG	REAL Batman (sean)	Good all around stats, esp. FT% this late in the game.
.	142	12-10	TOR	Andrea Bargnani	FC	Jeff's Jawai-nots	You can call me a homer, you can say that I’m drinking the red Kool-Aid (it’s RED - the purple is so 2006), but I’m reading a lot of positive reports about Bargnani. I expect him to regain the buzz from his near-Sixth Man rookie campaign and improve across the board.
.	143	12-11	MEM	Hakim Warrick	SF/PF	2nd Round Reach	This was a choice between Warrick and Al Thornton as my second SF-eligible player. I think Warrick's ready to step up as Memphis' every-day PF, as evidenced by his solid work in that role over the final three months of last season. He doesn't have quite the scorer's flair or varied production that I think Thornton is capable of, but I didn't want to sacrifice the FG% for the sake of half a steal/block per game.
.	144	12-12	LAL	Jordan Farmar	PG/SG	Epicte	Over a steal and a three per game is not asking too much of this kid who is just getting better each year.
.	145	13-1	GSW	Ronny Turiaf	PF/C	Epicte	Good percentages and over a block a game for Ronny are certain, as is a run of good health.
.	146	13-2	MEM	Kyle Lowry	PG/SG	2nd Round Reach	Yes, there's a logjam of guards in Memphis, but Lowry (along with Mike Conley) is right around the top of that logjam. He also showed that he's definitely productive in assists and steals as long as he's getting more than 24 minutes a night. The percentages aren't great, but nobody's are this late in the draft, and I compensate a bit for that with Warrick in my previous pick. As far as drafting for positional need, I could have been in far worse a position than this.
.	147	13-3	NOH	James Posey	GF	Jeff's Jawai-nots	There's a good chance for Posey to play, with only a declining Mo Peterson and injury-prone Peja ahead of him - that's definitely better than last season, behind Ray-Ray and PP (they're like the Boston Teletubbies!). Besides, the Hornets didn't pay him $25 mil over four years to keep Sean Marks company.
.	148	13-4	LAL	Derek Fisher	PG	REAL Batman (sean)	I don't know why he is still available. So maybe I'm missing someting, but his numbers are good. He's a starter. Hopefully I'm not missing something. Oh well. Last pick.
.	149	13-5	???	Jamaal Tinsley	PG	Bucko	Vecsey says that Tinsley has been traded to Denver pending a physical. If he does go to Denver then he could be very valuable in a lineup with Iverson and Melo. With a last round pick the risk is minimal and the reward is great.
.	150	13-6	LAC	Al Thornton	SF/PF	Doneycat	Al had some solid to strong games in the last half of 08, plenty of games over 20 points and over 30 minutes. Of course, he was foul prone and that cut down on PT. He’s a chucker, so maybe that will help in the course of the year. He got close to 1stl/1blk in the last month of the season. Not many guys left in round 13 who have a chance to score and play a lot for their team. Others considered for this last pick – Shaq, Marc Gasol (would have been my Spanish Inquisition w/Rudy!), Dampier, and any of the Nets bigs who would get PT. Fellas in the home half of the 13th, they’re all yours!
.	151	13-7	NJN	Yi Jianlian	PF	GiveMeTheRock	Well, the first guy in my queue was Thornton up until the last pick. Jianlian was next on the list, so he'll have to do. I probably should have taken someone who is Center eligible, but none of the guys I looked at were very appealing. I'll just hope that Brand and Murphy can hold up for the season.
.	152	13-8	POR	Jerryd Bayless	G	OKC Colon Thunder	Bayless is a personal favorite of mine and REALLY wanted him for my Knicks instead of Danilo (DAMN!). In Portland, he CAN play the PG spot, but doesn't have to with Brandon Roy there, so he can feel free to shoot and score. Granted there are a lot of SG/SF types in Portland, but I think Bayless is too good and talented to NOT play 27 minutes a game... enough to make me happy with his potential to choose him in the last round.
.	153	13-9	MEM	Marc Gasol	C	Sexy Time (dyeyk)	After much internal deliberation, I finally settled on Marc Gasol. Looks like he’s gonna start for the Grizz (as he’s playing along side the presumed starters in practice). I guess I just found it crucial that I draft another big for the inevitable times one of my other bigs will go down. Frankly, I like the pick coz I think at the very least he’s a serviceable big man with upside (MVP in Spanish league gotta count for something right? :P)
.	154	13-10	CLE	Daniel Gibson	PG	SA Spurscasters	Nels says "Michael had picked Ramon Sessions who was already taken. No re-pick was made within 24 hours, so I'm taking the next player from the GMTR Big Board. He is a PG, so there is that bit of consistency."
.	155	13-11	LAC	Cuttino Mobley	SG	Points in the Paint	Damn auto-pick! Was so sure I'd get Boobie! Oh well, Cuttino can hedge my Ricky Davis choice and still chip in a steal and a trey to boot, not to mention that he's got solid FT% too!
.	156	13-12	DET	Rodney Stuckey	PG/SG	Alpha_Terrance	Diaw and Stuckey both fell to me as I expected. I know what Diaw will give me (10-4-4 with headaches) so I'll pass on that. Stuckey is all upside and Ill take that in a league with no roster moves for the season.
