ENWorld Fantasy Basketball IS HERE!!! (league now filled)

Look for two basic types of players. General players who contribute in several stats. These guys go pretty fast. Think Kobe with his 30/5/5, for example. Also look for spike players, someone who gives you a big bonus in a specific area you want to focus on. If blocks, look for people with high blocks. Ratliff is good here. As you draft along remember you have several positions to fill. Don't take too many guards and leave yourself short on forwards. This is just the very basics.

My personal favorite trick later on is to look for guys who have not been great in the past but who are poised for a break out year. Last your I got Brad Miller, for example. Decent guy, but he stepped it up a notch in Sac-town.

THanks. The first year I played, I got lucky with Andrei Kirilenko, actually, who wasn;t that well known at the time.

I PMed The Sigil with my pick, in case Krug confirms before I get back from work. He can feel free to post the entirety of my PM in the other thread (with the exception of my conditional -- that is, who I'm picking if Krug changes his mind and picks up my pick). Hope that works for y'all -- it'll keep things moving at least.

Great!

So now John Crichton is up. Course, he won't really know if Kajamba just picked his pick.

It's probably safe to assume that Krug is taking Kobe. Maybe JC could PM Sigil with his pick for #9, along with an alternate player in case Kajamba is taking his.

Then Sigil will be able to make the following pick before leaving for Disney, and I can pick in the afternoon, then if Shatter is around he picks 2, then I pick, and Sigil can pick in the evening when he gets home. Badda-bing, badda-boom. C'mon speedy pickings!

I would go ahead an give Kobe Bryant to Krug. Krug was pretty clear that was his pick; just in the wrong forum.

C'mon speedy pickings!

I be here all day, or well till 12-1 PST, and then from 1:30 PST to when ever... The wife works tonight and I'm pretty much free all night… The only breaks I see coming are a game or two of NCAA Football 05.

Same is pretty much true for the whole weekend.

I wouldn't. I would wait it's his first round draft pick. Besides it's Krug, he'll be around shortly.

Also, if someone wants to trade for my second round draft pick, you better say something soon, cause I'm just going to drop them in the same post.

Brother S -- I'll swap my 2nd and 3rd for your 2nd and 4th. That'd give you the 5th pick in the 2nd, the 8th and 12th in the 3rd, and I'd have the 1st in the 2nd, the 1st in the 4th, and the 5th in the 4th.

Nick, let me think on it... I'll assume the offer is there until you recant it.

Looks like the best centers are going fast

Wow, understatement of the year after JC's pick...
