Im thinking with going with Irving and Aldridge since i have the 7th and 17th pick. If the 6th pick chooses Irving, who should I pick up? Paul George might not be the same guy when Granger comes back. Westbrook is injured. Love had a down year...and Gasol and Ibaka dont seem like first round picks to me...maybe get Carmelo..maybe jump to Dwight Howard?

Thoughts?

[spurraider21]

last year i told myself to not draft any spurs last year, but Duncan fell to the 7th round of my league (12 team league), and he was one of the guys carrying my team. He's bumped up the rankings from last year, but I don't see any scenario where I'm reaching for Thaddeus Young or Kobe over him.

Irving and Aldridge is a good start, but I would consider reaching for Paul George in round 1

[TheMACHINE]

im sure the 6th guy aint gonna pick westbrook. So I will have to get whoever is left over between george or irving. But the 6th guy has a tendancy of always choosing Dwight Howard...so thats when i have to decide between George or Irving.

[AchillesHeel]

Kirby is the 50th pick? :lol how the mighty have fallen

K.Love is a risky pick. He seems to get injured every year, if he plays healthy, he's an absolute steal but when was the last time he did? 2011-12?

[AchillesHeel]

If you have the 7th and the 17th, I'd suggest Westbrick and Rose.

[TheMACHINE]

Westbrick is very risky for a first round pick..passing on him and deron

[Rogue]

Curry and beard nigga are way overrated imho. If I had the 7th pick I'd choose Love or Marc because it appears to me there're far more guards than bigs on this list. You can even stokepile some quality bigs and later get some real good deals trading them away.

[spurraider21]

you should never rely on making a trade in fantasy

^ and how the "straight" were forced to come out the closet :lol

[D-Wade]

With LBJ now adding the 3 to his repertoire, I'm not sure why he's not #1. Maybe FT%. Anyway, Curry is a must for me again this year. Nab him and you should win 3s every week with him alone. It's tough to find a good big. K-Love was out most of last year. Might take a risk with him this year but you never know how he'll hold up. If you miss out on the stars, Pekovic and Vuvucic are underrated bigs in fantasy.

that and his Shaq-like fg%

[Brazil]

I never understood the KD 1 spot in fantasy over Lebron. Lebron helps you in every damn cat and is vastly superior to KD in assists, ratio assists/to and fg%
