Jermaine O'Neal is a great pick. I'd have taken O'Grady before James, but some people seemed pretty worried about what might happen with Tracy in Houston. He's a steal in the second round, though.

True, I had considered that but it's also James second season so it seems rather hard to imagine his stats not going up from last season... Also I've been told, by only a coworker (way big fantasy junkie), that theirs been some talk of James seeing some play at the small forward. Yahoo lists him as a PG, he's playing SG, so if he does see enough time to qualify for SF then your looking at a first round pick that can fill 6 positions on the fantasy roster.

Yer picks were good. From my view there were 5 key players available at that point, and those 2 were of them. It's really a guessing game as to which will have the perfect year. You took solid players with minimal risk, so you're in great shape.
Ya Omega, I'm also one of those worried about McGrady in Houston. I'm open to T-Mac trade suggestions if anybody has something interesting to offer.

We might have to chat then. I like taking chances and I can still see McGrady having a very solid year in Houston. Hmm...hard to do a trade right now though, unless you want a pick.

Wow, another center down the drain... I'm going to be drafting myself to play center at this rate.

The question is do you "waste" your picks on centers knowing that the good ones have already gone, their by passing on the other positions that still have good players and allowing those who drafted centers to grab them or do you just pick the best player, that can play for you, and pick up someone off of wavers...Black Omega said:

I think the lack of depth at center is one of the things that makes fantasy basketball challenging and fun. Instead of drafting the "best" players available and sleeping throughout the season, sometimes you really have to strategize and "be a manager". It keeps everybody involved with their teams all year round, always looking to improve the center slot through trades and keeping an eye on the waiver wire for new emerging players.
The rest of the centers that still in the pool aren't equivalent in value to many of the regular position players still available. So the next centers probably won't be picked for a couple rounds yet. But I would suspect that some of the managers will still be selecting centers on the high side, just to make sure they get some quality at that position. The quality gets thin very quickly. So near the end of the draft, everybody will be scrambling to grab something from a pool of riff-raff and chumps that get flakey playing time.
I'll repost the Yahoo pre-ranks to give you an idea of where we currently stand. The Yahoo "pre-ranks" are very good this year, they were arranged by the experts (rather than just purely by stats) and have very few mistakes, so I think they're a great way of choosing players if you're not sure who is "good". But expect centers (anything with C or FC) to go sooner than listed.
