Speaker 1: in mine. Yeah. I wish I could have been a
Speaker 1: part of it as well, but I've got something going on.
Speaker 1: It's why i'm you know, dressed all snazzy. Also, I
Speaker 1: really want to watch the Yankees and the football game.
Speaker 1: It's pretty fun. One of my friends said, he's bringing his, uh,
Speaker 1: his iPads he used as a what do you call it?
Speaker 1: One of those things you connect to WiFi through. Okay,
Speaker 1: so we can watch the Yankees from from the Ranger game.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, Okay, that's pretty legit. Listen. I don't you
Speaker 1: know me, I don't care about hockey. I care a
Speaker 1: lot about the Yankees, but you know we don't get
Speaker 1: a chance to hang on e Y all that much.
Speaker 1: Sure wants to go to the game, Like, all right, man,
Speaker 1: let's do it so you can hang out with e
Speaker 1: Y in Town from Nashville. You know that Ey is
Speaker 1: a big hockey guy and we are big basketball guys. Greggy,
Speaker 1: which is uh where we landed today doing our fantasy
Speaker 1: basketball preview show. I know a few people have been
Speaker 1: hitting us up on Twitter asking us if we can
Speaker 1: preview and yeah, We had our draft last night. We
Speaker 1: had a PIT league draft, a twelve team head to
Speaker 1: head points league, so we can work in some of
Speaker 1: the results from that last night, kind of talk about
Speaker 1: where some play years went. We go position by position.
Speaker 1: We'll go over the first round, some sleepers and bust.
Speaker 1: But fantasy basketball, to me kind of gets swept under
Speaker 1: the rug because fantasy football is as massive as it is.
Speaker 1: I understand the fantasy industry revolves around football, and rightfully so,
Speaker 1: it is my favorite fantasy sports to play. It's a
Speaker 1: lot of people's favorite fantasy sport to play, but basketball
Speaker 1: is actually my favorite real life sport. It was a
Speaker 1: sport that I played most growing up. Greg It's, you know,
Speaker 1: outside of football, probably my favorite support to watch. I
Speaker 1: enjoy the NBA game. I know a lot of people
Speaker 1: basketball purists enjoy college football over the NBA. I I'm
Speaker 1: all here for the storylines, the drama, the entertainment that
Speaker 1: comes along with the NBA. So I do love playing
Speaker 1: fantasy basketball, and I'm happy that we're able to do
Speaker 1: this today. I'm happy that there's people that actually had
Speaker 1: an appetite for fantasy basketball. Yeah, listen, I've gotten like
Speaker 1: most fantasy players. I would say I was super into
Speaker 1: fantasy basketball while back, and then I guess ever, I
Speaker 1: came back here ish like the f A d S Y.
Speaker 1: I was like, I like playing fantasy basketball. It's fine,
Speaker 1: like knowing more about the NBA, and I've gotten really
Speaker 1: into it, and you know, like most players like, I'm
Speaker 1: back into DFS and I was playing and I was,
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm good. And then I started losing
Speaker 1: lots of money. But the season long game, it makes
Speaker 1: me follow the NBA more often than not. And I
Speaker 1: enjoyed that and it makes me happy. And immediately I'm
Speaker 1: always be a baseball guy beforem a basketball guy. But
Speaker 1: I'm excited to my fantasy basketball. I was excited to
Speaker 1: get my first draft underway last night. We have a draft.
Speaker 1: I have two drafts this weekend, one of which I
Speaker 1: will propart taking in the other one night which it's
Speaker 1: all on Frank's hands hold down the fort. But if
Speaker 1: Frank's drafts similar to to do that he did last
Speaker 1: night in a similar spot, we're pretty happy. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: had the first pick last night. We have the first
Speaker 1: pick over the weekend, participating in Adam Roynises League. Adam
Speaker 1: Ynis you can hear on the fn T s Y
Speaker 1: radio right now. We are don't just listen to the podcast.
Speaker 1: We are the Champion's greggy. One might say that we were.
Speaker 1: We had a little bit of the bubble last season
Speaker 1: if we celebrated our Fantasy basketball championships. So hopefully we
Speaker 1: go back to back. We were the number one pick
Speaker 1: last year in that league as well, so I'm looking
Speaker 1: forward to it. Uh. Frankoloso the first pick last night.
Speaker 1: I like what he did for the most part. Couple
Speaker 1: of things I would have done differently, obviously, but I
Speaker 1: don't have a chance to you because I can't traft
Speaker 1: on Saturday night. I'm sorry. Well, you know what. We
Speaker 1: will consult and we will figure out players that we
Speaker 1: both want, and I will try my best to integrate
Speaker 1: those players that you want. Hopefully I can get Josh
Speaker 1: richards in Ford say, the best part of Fantasy Basketball
Speaker 1: Draft star, what's that? It's so quick. We were done
Speaker 1: in our last night. It was good. Exactly an hour
Speaker 1: last night. I didn't get out. It was awesome. I
Speaker 1: love it. If we go over the first round, I
Speaker 1: feel like that's the first thing we should do. We do.
Speaker 1: We want to break in about a minute and a half,
Speaker 1: So I probably passed on that. Alright, that's I mean,
Speaker 1: there's just a lot to break down there. I don't
Speaker 1: want to like star and then like literally in a
Speaker 1: minute half. So I put out a poll before the show.
Speaker 1: Let's just do this. Let's just do the first pick.
Speaker 1: If you had the first overall pick, who would you take?
Speaker 1: Because I put off the poll and as of now
Speaker 1: there are thirty votes, one candidate has zero percent of
Speaker 1: those votes. Uh, Jana san Compo is the leading vote
Speaker 1: getter right now? Is that where you would go if
Speaker 1: you have the first overall pick? Yeah, and that's what
Speaker 1: we talked about. You're making me do this, you know,
Speaker 1: I said, I you know, I don't want to do
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. We don't have to do the whole
Speaker 1: first round. I was just saying, let's go over to
Speaker 1: the first pick overall. I would move. I would vote
Speaker 1: for Yannas to the Kombo. I think that Jannest does
Speaker 1: a little bit of everything. He has obviously multi position eligibility.
Speaker 1: He's just can help you in all every category is
Speaker 1: like category he doesn't help you in. There's a change
Speaker 1: based on the format. Now, how about in a road
Speaker 1: a league, right, because I'll bring this up to you
Speaker 1: stupid All right, Well, I'm sorry. We participate in a
Speaker 1: few Fantasy Baseball roadal leagues. The nfb k C if
Speaker 1: you want to play some high stakes, is rotissory. And
Speaker 1: I think that you can argue that Anthony Davis and
Speaker 1: Karl Anthony Towns might be better rotissory players with the
Speaker 1: number one overall pick Greg because they don't really have
Speaker 1: any deficiencies in their game. I mean, Janice free throw
Speaker 1: percentage is not great. I'm not gonna shoot me three.
Speaker 1: E's Andy Davis and Karl Anthony Towns starting to shoot
Speaker 1: more threes, starting to ball handle a little bit more
Speaker 1: as well. I think Anthy Davis had like six or
Speaker 1: seven assists last night and only twenty five minutes of play,
Speaker 1: So I think it a rotistory league. You actually can
Speaker 1: make the argument for a few other people. Overall, I
Speaker 1: think Janie and James Harden are more often than not
Speaker 1: if you just play a head to head categories league
Speaker 1: or head to head points. Those are the two that
Speaker 1: I'm considering most. Graig, Yeah, fair enough, Your Honest and
Speaker 1: Harden both fine choices. Obviously, they both do everything. They
Speaker 1: both play every night. Something you want to know, and
Speaker 1: I know it is here on the left side, which
Speaker 1: you can see right here, that you need to avoid
Speaker 1: load management. And that's what I that's going to be
Speaker 1: a key for us all throughout the next hour talking
Speaker 1: about that. Whenever I had a decision between two players,
Speaker 1: it was always about load management. And what I liked
Speaker 1: about both Nice and Hardened and Karl Anthony Towns as well.
Speaker 1: I don't expect them to really be rested. No, there
Speaker 1: were times last year with Milwaukee having such a big
Speaker 1: lead in the Eastern Conference where they did rest your
Speaker 1: honest down the stretch. Hardenines doesn't get rested at all.
Speaker 1: Karl Anthony Towns hates basing games. He didn't arrested at all.
Speaker 1: After that, it kind of feels like everyone is kind
Speaker 1: of at rich. So that's gonna be a theme I
Speaker 1: think throughout the hours, trying to avoid some of those
Speaker 1: players that have a load management issues. Let's talk about
Speaker 1: that and a whole lot more here. I'll the BFS

Speaker 1: haven't done so already, make sure you check out the
Speaker 1: poll that Mike Oardona was running right now. I know
Speaker 1: he people have been talking about it throughout the dead.
Speaker 1: They're gonna reveal the results on game time. But Mike
Speaker 1: put out a poll in regards to the best young
Speaker 1: baseball player in baseball, and then it's basketball Primer show.
Speaker 1: We'll get into it, but fifteen for fifteen over the
Speaker 1: next fifteen years, the question becomes, which baseball player would
Speaker 1: you rather have? Ronald Kuna, labor tourist, want so, or
Speaker 1: somebody else to feel a free to write it in.
Speaker 1: Mike has pulled going on now they're gonna reveal the
Speaker 1: results on game time Decisions coming up a little bit
Speaker 1: later on today, Let's get it back into fantasy basketball.
Speaker 1: Though Frankie and I mentioned I'm with you At the
Speaker 1: number one pick, I'm going with Janice. Then I think
Speaker 1: the decision is a little bit harder between Carl Anthony
Speaker 1: Talents and James Harden. As a point to lead player
Speaker 1: Alileen Harding, just because like he could explode for literally
Speaker 1: seventy points and I thought that was nuts, so many
Speaker 1: real points, not fantasy points. So I think that those
Speaker 1: are clear top three. And then at four, the first
Speaker 1: thing that comes to my mind is Steph Curry over
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis. I think Curry being the one guy that
Speaker 1: is there in Golden State. Little management certainly an issue,
Speaker 1: but he's gonna be asked to do something that he's
Speaker 1: never done before, which is carry and the complete low
Speaker 1: Altklay Tompson without Kevin Durant uh that Andrea Goodalla, it's
Speaker 1: him and Draymond Green. I thinks Steph Curry is just
Speaker 1: gonna be an animal and fantasy basketball this year. He's
Speaker 1: my number four player. Yeah, I think there's a clear
Speaker 1: consensus top six greg the order of those players changes,
Speaker 1: but I think the draft really starts at seven. So
Speaker 1: for me, the top six players are Jana Santa Kumpo,
Speaker 1: James Harden, Anthony Davis, Nicolai Yokis, Steph Curry, and Carl
Speaker 1: Anthony town is not necessarily in that order, because again
Speaker 1: I think all those players are interchangeable. It comes down
Speaker 1: to what kind of drafter you are. If you are,
Speaker 1: you know, if you are a risk taker and you
Speaker 1: want to shoot for the most upside, then you are
Speaker 1: probably taking Anthony Davis with the first overall pick, just
Speaker 1: based on his ability to twenty eight and twelve, gets
Speaker 1: defensive numbers, gets massive blocks, good percentages as well, starting
Speaker 1: to shoot the three as well, but you have to
Speaker 1: worry about the injury concerns, you know, maybe sits back
Speaker 1: to back here or there throughout the course of the season. Um.
Speaker 1: But just based on a per game basis, the player
Speaker 1: who can have the most value, Andy Davis is definitely
Speaker 1: in that mix. Um. But if you are a safer draft,
Speaker 1: I mean, for me, I really like to build a
Speaker 1: foundation with my first couple of picks, my first three
Speaker 1: round picks. I really want safe players who I know
Speaker 1: I can rely on, who are going to give me production, uh,
Speaker 1: and then kind of take more risk once we get
Speaker 1: into the middle rounds. So I would lean with the
Speaker 1: Jana first overall. I would lean James Harden still second.
Speaker 1: You know, I think Karl Anthony town is one of
Speaker 1: the safest players in the league, and they're talking about
Speaker 1: him having more of a role this season, the offense
Speaker 1: running through him and him distributing the ball more as well.
Speaker 1: So I could even get up to four five assistants
Speaker 1: here for Karl Anthony Towns. But I do think that
Speaker 1: there's a very clear top six, Greg and I don't
Speaker 1: think that there is a wrong answer in any order.
Speaker 1: I think Steph Curry is in that mix as well,
Speaker 1: and I think that's fine. I think that top six
Speaker 1: you're right is is abbutently clear. And it's interesting because
Speaker 1: I had picked eight last night, right in the first round,
Speaker 1: and I didn't know what to do at that spot.
Speaker 1: Did you ask me? Man? I really loved Joel and
Speaker 1: bead and like you want to talk about load management
Speaker 1: issues like that is the definition for joean and be.
Speaker 1: You know, out of e two games, you're getting a
Speaker 1: max of like sixty here um and then Russell westbre
Speaker 1: gonna playing alongside James Harden. Like, I didn't know what
Speaker 1: to do at that spot, because I agree, you've got
Speaker 1: six guys you're very comfortable taking. Then one I think
Speaker 1: that there is a group, and I think this is
Speaker 1: where format comes into play a little bit more. If
Speaker 1: you play in a points league. I think that from
Speaker 1: seven to nine, Russell Westbrook, Joel Embiad, and Lebron James
Speaker 1: should go in that area because you know that when
Speaker 1: they are on the court, those guys are all triple
Speaker 1: double options. Lebron James looked great last night as well,
Speaker 1: had a ridiculous pass. Uh. I don't know. I don't
Speaker 1: know why I was watching preseason basketball, but I was.
Speaker 1: But I do think pick seven and nine, Russell Westbrook
Speaker 1: and Beat and Lebron James are in the area. I
Speaker 1: would probably rank Um and Beat the highest of the bunch. Again,
Speaker 1: he's a lot like Anthony Davis Greig. When he's on
Speaker 1: the court, he's amazing. I mean, Joel and Beat again,
Speaker 1: someone who can average close to thirty real life points.
Speaker 1: He's gonna be over ten rebounds. He gets you, steals
Speaker 1: in blocks, distributes a little bit, going to have solid percentages.
Speaker 1: The field goal percentage not as high as you would
Speaker 1: like it to be because he's starting to shoot a
Speaker 1: little bit more from the outside, but his upside is
Speaker 1: I mean, it's up there. With all of these other
Speaker 1: guys that we're talking about in the top six. So
Speaker 1: if you are an upside player, I think and beat
Speaker 1: his net mix. But if you play head to add categories, Greg,
Speaker 1: I think that Damian Lillard isn't that conversation as well
Speaker 1: because Rock Solid plays a ton of games every single year.
Speaker 1: You told me this last night. The reason you took
Speaker 1: c J. McCollum is you don't have to worry about
Speaker 1: load management when it comes to Portland Trailblazers players. Damian
Speaker 1: Lillard's gonna average twenty five points going to average you know,
Speaker 1: six seven assists, um doesn't hurt your percentage. Is really
Speaker 1: good free throw shooter might be the best contributor in
Speaker 1: the free throw percentage department outside of James Hard in
Speaker 1: the NBA. Uh. It doesn't do a lot defensively, but
Speaker 1: just a really really safe pick. So I think once
Speaker 1: you get to that like seven to ten range, you
Speaker 1: you have a a few guys to choose from between
Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook, Damian Lillard, Joel Embiad and Lebron James. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think so it's interesting because the reason he's kind
Speaker 1: of a flip flop roles here because the reason I
Speaker 1: haven't traditionally in the first round in the middle of
Speaker 1: the first round gone after Damian Lillards because yeah, he's
Speaker 1: he's good, but I felt like the other guys are
Speaker 1: almost like league winners for you potentially, and Damian Lillard
Speaker 1: almost seems like a level below that what he can
Speaker 1: do and the categories that he could help you with,
Speaker 1: So I've always had him a little bit lower. Same
Speaker 1: with CJ McCollum. And he said it to me the
Speaker 1: second I walked in here, like, hey, I was surprised
Speaker 1: she took CJ McCollum last night because he's awesome at
Speaker 1: scoring and he plays a lot of minutes. What else
Speaker 1: does he do? And I didn't really have an answer
Speaker 1: other than I got sniped on them and baya right,
Speaker 1: like that was and you're right about that. And that's
Speaker 1: why I felt like both Plazers players, despite being the
Speaker 1: mar Key players in their team, despite the entire team
Speaker 1: revolving around them, or just a little like, okay for
Speaker 1: fantasy guys that you're fine having, but not somebody Demian
Speaker 1: Lillard that I would want in place of Joel Embiad
Speaker 1: who could win you a week, Russell Westbrook who win
Speaker 1: you a week. I don't know that Damian Lillard could
Speaker 1: do that. Damian Lillard, to me, is a lot like
Speaker 1: Karl Anthony Towns or Yokih at his position because he's
Speaker 1: just safe. If you want to take a player with
Speaker 1: more upside than absolutely, you can go with the Joel embiad,
Speaker 1: you can go with the Lebron James. If Lebron does
Speaker 1: not get hurt and he plays seventy to seventy five games,
Speaker 1: he will likely return top five value overall. But he's
Speaker 1: getting up there in age. And if you were watching
Speaker 1: last night, he saw a little start to see a
Speaker 1: little bit of gray and the beard for Lebron James.
Speaker 1: Not used to seeing that, but he's getting up there.
Speaker 1: He missed a ton of games last year because of injuries.
Speaker 1: It wouldn't surprise me if he sits out back to back.
Speaker 1: So you have to take all of these things into consideration. Greg.
Speaker 1: I think if you're talking about a points league, I
Speaker 1: think Andre Drummond is in the mix as well, because
Speaker 1: you don't have to worry about the bad free throw percentage.
Speaker 1: You just have to worry about getting points and rebounds.
Speaker 1: You know, that's the biggest differentiator between a head to
Speaker 1: head categories or rotissary league versus a head to head
Speaker 1: points league, and I head to head points league. You
Speaker 1: can take these big men who have terrible free throw
Speaker 1: percentage because they're gonna give you points, They're gonna give
Speaker 1: you rebounds, they're gonna give you blocks. If you play
Speaker 1: on Yahoo, the standard scoring is three fantasy points per
Speaker 1: defensive statistic. That makes Andre Drummond and guys like Steven
Speaker 1: Adams and Hassan Whiteside really good in points leagues because
Speaker 1: they get a lot of defensive numbers. So I think
Speaker 1: Hassan uh, Andre Drummond is in this mix as well
Speaker 1: as a first round pick, probably more of a early
Speaker 1: second round pick and a head to add categories or
Speaker 1: rotissary league because he does bring down your free throw percentage. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I get it. And there's his re league with
Speaker 1: free percentage of thing. Andre Drummond is always going to
Speaker 1: hurt you. But as we have seen, man, Andre Donmonds awesome.
Speaker 1: Like that's the type of player and I just I
Speaker 1: just referenced it. I'm just playing my rankings here. Um,
Speaker 1: that's the player that can win you a week by himself,
Speaker 1: especially in the double double leagues. Where he is. He
Speaker 1: is absolutely dominant in two different categories. Andre jalmand Is
Speaker 1: has taken the leap forward, I think, and loan management
Speaker 1: certainly not a thing when it comes to Andre Drummond.
Speaker 1: Lots there. I'll throw this back your way if you
Speaker 1: have picked twelve right and all these players that we
Speaker 1: just talked about are gone, the Damian Lillards, Lebron James,
Speaker 1: the Joel embiid Russell Westbrook. I was talking to Ronus
Speaker 1: last night. We're participating in his draft. We have first picked,
Speaker 1: he has twelfth pick, and he said twelve. Being twelve
Speaker 1: picked this year is terrible because there's no give meers
Speaker 1: off the ward. If you don't mind James Harden, Janice,
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis, Yoki's Steph Curry, Karl Anthony Towns, Russell Westbrook,
Speaker 1: Joel embiid, Lebron James, and Damian Lillard, that's ten. Let's
Speaker 1: throw Andre Drummond in that mix as well. Who are
Speaker 1: you going with at pick twelve? Because I think that
Speaker 1: there's a lot of players that you can just kind
Speaker 1: of throw out there because people are gonna ask, well,
Speaker 1: where do I take Kawhi Leonard? You know, because you
Speaker 1: have to worry about risk management with him. Um, you
Speaker 1: know it's just a spower. You should be targeting at
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons. You to worry about free throw percentage there
Speaker 1: as well. So if you had the wrap around this year,
Speaker 1: what are you looking at? So the couple of guys
Speaker 1: that come to my mind at that twelve thirteen spot,
Speaker 1: I think you consider if you're looking at guard, you're
Speaker 1: gonna consider Ben Simmons, as you mentioned. But the scoring
Speaker 1: leaves you just like this is annoying. The shooting. Obviously,
Speaker 1: Drew Holiday has been my guy this year. I think
Speaker 1: Drew Holidays in for a massive, massive year. I was
Speaker 1: pumped to get him in my spot in the second
Speaker 1: round last night. Um, and I think Jimmy Butler helps
Speaker 1: you in every category as well. I'd rather have Jimmy
Speaker 1: Butler over Kakwain Leonard, which sounds crazy, but he's gonna
Speaker 1: help you in every category and leave this Miami team.
Speaker 1: You know it's crazy. Is the two players that I
Speaker 1: like there didn't even mentioned excited to hear the who
Speaker 1: those two are. On the other side. That's a tease
Speaker 1: for you. We'll get in the second round. We'll get
Speaker 1: us some sleepers we like as well as the players

Speaker 1: wants to see their bfs love it and probably haven't
Speaker 1: You were back thinking great reviews on the show yesterday.
Speaker 1: Didn't they missed us? Well, we're back. That's why we're back. Indeed,
Speaker 1: all right, you asked me to wing a break. When
Speaker 1: you're at the turn, when eleven guys are off the board,
Speaker 1: what do you do at twelve? And I said both
Speaker 1: of their team? I said, Drew Holiday comes to mind.
Speaker 1: I said Ben Simmons comes to mind. And I said
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler comes to mind. And You're like, well, you
Speaker 1: forgot to go. People who do you like in that spot?
Speaker 1: I don't dislike the names that you brought up, but
Speaker 1: personally I do like Bradley Beale and I like Luca
Speaker 1: don Che as well. Luka Donte was awesome last year.
Speaker 1: I expect him to improve on his efficiency having another
Speaker 1: player on the court like Chris tas poor Zingis, and
Speaker 1: he's someone that could just contribute all across the board.
Speaker 1: You have to consider, you know, the free throw percentage.
Speaker 1: Maybe he's in the low tomid seventies field goal percentage,
Speaker 1: probably closer like a forty five percent shooter. You can
Speaker 1: back that up later on with some big men, you
Speaker 1: can help out your percentages. But someone that could just
Speaker 1: contribute across the board close to twenty five points. He'll
Speaker 1: give you seven or eight rebounds, will give you seven
Speaker 1: or eight assists, will give you a steal per game
Speaker 1: as well. He'll give you a couple of three pointers.
Speaker 1: So I'm in a Luca Dontage and I think you know,
Speaker 1: Bradley Beal doesn't have the same upside that Luca Dontag does,
Speaker 1: but he's the main guy on his team. Greg. I mean,
Speaker 1: who else on Washington is going to get their own buckets.
Speaker 1: They just gave him a huge contract extension as well,
Speaker 1: because he's a guy that can average twenty five points
Speaker 1: per game, multiple threes, give you a steal, uh five
Speaker 1: six rebounds, four five assists. Very very solid player, a
Speaker 1: lot like Luka Donte and a more efficient player than
Speaker 1: Luka Dontage as well. So I think both of those
Speaker 1: players are in the mix going at the end of
Speaker 1: the first round, beginning of the second round. I think
Speaker 1: all of these players in that mix, depending on who
Speaker 1: you want and depending on who uh you feel comfortable
Speaker 1: with how you're building your team. I'm with you, man,
Speaker 1: I have no issue with any of these guys. I
Speaker 1: think they're kind of all up together. And then after
Speaker 1: that you get to the point where you just need
Speaker 1: to take your guy. And that's what I didn't do
Speaker 1: last night. Would you coming on the air about Josh Richardson,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna jump right to it because we have an
Speaker 1: hour to do this. I kinda want to jump around
Speaker 1: and make sure we get everything in there. And my guy,
Speaker 1: this one of my guys this year, and I've said
Speaker 1: it off the air a lot, is Shy Guilder's Alexander.
Speaker 1: I think he's in store for a monster monster season
Speaker 1: with the Oklahoma City Thunder, and I think he should
Speaker 1: be a focal point of that office. They need him
Speaker 1: to be better and I think he will be. So
Speaker 1: I want him, and yet I have him ranked as
Speaker 1: my Let me look here, when number is this one, two,
Speaker 1: three or four, four, six, seven, eight nine, thirteen ranked
Speaker 1: shooting guard at Hills, James Harden and Jimmy Butler, Bradley Beal,
Speaker 1: look Dodgic, Devin Booker, a whole bunch of these guys, right,
Speaker 1: So he's never thirteen for me. He is the last
Speaker 1: player in Tier three for me. And yet if you
Speaker 1: look at ESPN, the rankings or Yahoo rankings, he's much lower.
Speaker 1: So last night we did this draft on Yahoo and
Speaker 1: I violated a rule of Annessey that doesn't matter where
Speaker 1: anybody has a guy ranked, but where you have him ranked.
Speaker 1: And he was ranked like twenty players after where my
Speaker 1: draft spot was. So I took Josh Richardson, who is
Speaker 1: my fifteen ranked shooting guard, ahead of Shy Gilder's Alexander
Speaker 1: because I was like, you know what, I probably can
Speaker 1: sneak him and get him on the way back. Frank
Speaker 1: major that wasn't possible. And then of course Frank has
Speaker 1: lauded in the chat, but everyone's, oh, great pick, Frank, Like, God,
Speaker 1: damn it, that's what I should have done, and I
Speaker 1: a made a mistaken I didn't Yeah, shake Gilds Alexander
Speaker 1: going in that six seventh round range this year, I
Speaker 1: think he's a breakout candidate, has point guard and shooting
Speaker 1: guard eligibility. He was the focal point of the Paul
Speaker 1: George trade. To be honest, the Clippers did not want
Speaker 1: to trade away Shay Gild just Alexander, but in order
Speaker 1: to sign Kawhi Leonard, they had to trade for Paul George.
Speaker 1: Uh And you know, of course, yeah, you have an
Speaker 1: opportunity to win a championship with Kawai and Paul George.
Speaker 1: You gotta make it happen. But they were hesitant to
Speaker 1: give him up and the numbers were not you know,
Speaker 1: I opening last year, but he was a rookie and
Speaker 1: got better as the season went along. I'm gonna have
Speaker 1: a clear opportunity here playing the two against alongside Chris
Speaker 1: Paul Danilo Gallinaria is on this team as well. But
Speaker 1: I think shaikiel this Alexander is someone that can average
Speaker 1: sixteen seventeen points per game, right around five rebounds and assists.
Speaker 1: He's an efficient player, shot forty seven percent from the
Speaker 1: field as a rookie, eight percent from the free throw
Speaker 1: line over a steel per game as well. I think
Speaker 1: he's someone I can average probably closer to a steal
Speaker 1: and a half. Good defender very in on Shaikiela Alexander Greg.
Speaker 1: I think he's one of those breakout candidate's going in
Speaker 1: the middle rounds. Absolutely, Shiel Alexander much like uh Malcolm
Speaker 1: Browndon even breakout candidate this year. New team, new role,
Speaker 1: new responsibility for the player, somebody that's ever growing. But
Speaker 1: the most popular sleeper for us and I probably in
Speaker 1: the industry is bam Adebaya, who Jack Nicholson gift. But
Speaker 1: as I was mentioning before I got snipe in the
Speaker 1: fourth round, ma'am out of Bio because I knew I
Speaker 1: couldn't let him get back to Frank at the four
Speaker 1: or five serring because he would have been gone. So
Speaker 1: I was gonna take him at my spot in the
Speaker 1: fourth round, and I didn't get the opportunity to do that.
Speaker 1: Why are people so in a band this year? Because
Speaker 1: bama a Bio is a big man that can give
Speaker 1: you double doubles and he's not gonna hurt your free
Speaker 1: throw percentage. He's not an amazing free throw shooter, but
Speaker 1: he is seventy three percent for his career. I'll take
Speaker 1: that over. You know, Andre Drummonds fifty five percent. DeAndre
Speaker 1: Jordan's very bad free throw shooter as well. Steven Adams
Speaker 1: a bad free throw shooter. So Bama a bio um.
Speaker 1: He's always shown us flashes. He's always someone that we've
Speaker 1: used in DFS whenever Hassan Whiteside was out because we
Speaker 1: know what the upside can be when Hassan Whiteside wasn't there. Well,
Speaker 1: Hassan Whiteside is now on the Portland Trailblazers and bam
Speaker 1: Atabio has come out and said he would like to
Speaker 1: average fifteen, ten and five this year. If you look
Speaker 1: at his per thirty six numbers, not really outlandish last
Speaker 1: year per thirty six per thirty six, thirteen point seven
Speaker 1: points per game, eleven rebounds, three and a half assists,
Speaker 1: over a steel over all block per game. He's an
Speaker 1: efficient player percent from the field last year. So there's
Speaker 1: a lot to like about band At a bio. Someone
Speaker 1: you can target in that fourth round range, Greg, you
Speaker 1: might be drafting him close to his ceiling, but based
Speaker 1: on what he can do defensively and be an efficient
Speaker 1: offensive player, I think the sky is the limit when
Speaker 1: it comes to Bam stepping up as a starting center
Speaker 1: for the Miami Heat this season. A bio. Whenever he
Speaker 1: got the opportunity in years past was when the minutes
Speaker 1: were there, when a sou On Whiteside didn't play, I
Speaker 1: am stepped up. They've called him a leader on this team. Now.
Speaker 1: As long as Jimmy Butler doesn't like mentally f with him,
Speaker 1: maam should be pretty good. Yeah he should. I'm I'm
Speaker 1: on again. You know, good distributor doesn't hurt your percentages
Speaker 1: in that fourth fifth round range. If you need a center,
Speaker 1: bam at a bio is your guy only two three
Speaker 1: turn Frank, you were salivating at the thought of Zion
Speaker 1: Williamson falling to you, and I wanted to bring up
Speaker 1: Zion and last year's the rolling overall pick DeAndre eight
Speaker 1: and two players going around a similar spot and some
Speaker 1: of the other rookies and trying to remember where we
Speaker 1: should take these players. Let me leave eaton off the
Speaker 1: side for now. Zion wis was the first overall pick
Speaker 1: you wanted to two three turn. You just missed him.
Speaker 1: Why does he belong there? I actually think that Zion
Speaker 1: Williamson should be a mid second round pick right now,
Speaker 1: and I would take him over some of the players
Speaker 1: that went in the second round of this draft last night.
Speaker 1: I would take him over Kyrie Irving. I would take
Speaker 1: him over Paul George, who is probably gonna miss the
Speaker 1: first month of the season recovering from dual shoulder surgery.
Speaker 1: I would take him over Kemba Walker as well. You know,
Speaker 1: we're getting a little bit of a glimpse of the
Speaker 1: upside of Zion Williamson. And it's only the preseason and
Speaker 1: this guy is scoring, you know, over twenty points per
Speaker 1: game right now. He's shooting over seventy percent from the field,
Speaker 1: and everyone thought, all right, he did that in college.
Speaker 1: He's not gonna be able to play bullyball with players
Speaker 1: in the NBA. I mean, these are grown men. They
Speaker 1: have a lot more mass on them. They're taller than
Speaker 1: Zion Williamson. He's a six ft six center. This isn't
Speaker 1: gonna work out. Well, guess what's so far in the
Speaker 1: preseason playing against other grown men. You know, he was
Speaker 1: playing against Rudy Gobert last week, who is in All
Speaker 1: NBA first team defensive player. He had his way with him.
Speaker 1: I mean, Zion Williamson is the real deal. He's an
Speaker 1: uber athlete. I think he's someone that comes in right
Speaker 1: away averages over twenty points per game, probably seven to
Speaker 1: eight rebounds, probably around three assists. I'm gonna give you
Speaker 1: massive defensive numbers, really really good field goal percentage as well.
Speaker 1: Three throw percentage might not be great, probably in that
Speaker 1: you know sixty to sixty five percent range. You can
Speaker 1: make that up if you have, you know, a Damian Lillard,
Speaker 1: if you have a James Harden on your team. But
Speaker 1: I think that Zion Williamson is gonna have a massive season.
Speaker 1: I think he's worthy of a mid second round pick.
Speaker 1: A lot of people were hyping up Terry Favors earlier
Speaker 1: on in the Fantasy Basketball's draft season. I think that
Speaker 1: they've been experimenting with a small ball lineup with Zion
Speaker 1: at the five, and that's the way that the NBA
Speaker 1: is trending right now as well. So I think he
Speaker 1: is due for a massive season as a rookie. I
Speaker 1: would take him in the middle of the second round.
Speaker 1: They're enough middle of the second round. Four Zion Williams.
Speaker 1: And what about the other rookies rank what about R. J.
Speaker 1: Barrett with New York nixt what about John Lorant and
Speaker 1: the Grizzlies, Darius Garland with Cleveland where did they all go?
Speaker 1: I like John Moran as the next rookie off the
Speaker 1: board for fantasy basketball. Probably better for a points league
Speaker 1: because I don't think that his efficiency is going to
Speaker 1: be great. But John Morant someone who you know last
Speaker 1: year with Murray State was getting triple doubles. People were
Speaker 1: comparing this guy to Russell Westbrook. Not the same level athlete.
Speaker 1: He has a good athlete, but not the same level
Speaker 1: as Russell Westbrook. Not the same scoring mentality either, in
Speaker 1: my opinion, But I think John Moran someone that can
Speaker 1: average fifteen points, maybe seven assists, four or five rebounds
Speaker 1: as well in the fifth or sixth round range. Again,
Speaker 1: I think he's better for a points league because I
Speaker 1: do have some concern over the efficiency when it comes
Speaker 1: to John Moran. Same thing for r J. Barrett. He
Speaker 1: shouldn't go in that fourth, fifth round range. I think
Speaker 1: he's more of a six seventh round player in a
Speaker 1: points league. RJ. Barrett is somebody you want to target
Speaker 1: in a points league. Last night, I think he shot
Speaker 1: free for thirteen from the field. He's not a good shooter,
Speaker 1: yet he's someone that can get to the basket. You
Speaker 1: can create his own shot. He can get to the
Speaker 1: free throw line. But he's not a good uh, he's
Speaker 1: not a good shot shooting. Again, the field goal percentage
Speaker 1: is not gonna be good. Wouldn't surprise me if he's
Speaker 1: in the low forty percent range and he's not a
Speaker 1: good free throw percentage free throw shooter yet either, he's
Speaker 1: probably gonna be seventy percent, maybe sub seventy percent. So
Speaker 1: they'll do a little bit of everything. He'll get some assists,
Speaker 1: he'll get you some rebounds, maybe a steel per game.
Speaker 1: But I would target him more so in a points league.
Speaker 1: And that's six seventh round range, greg because the efficiency
Speaker 1: I do think is going to be very bad. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be in the low forty percent range. That's brutal.
Speaker 1: Obviously that that could kill you a week and it
Speaker 1: takes quite a bit to counteract that. Yeah, and the
Speaker 1: next rookie that I would target is Ruby Hashimura. Actually
Speaker 1: I would take him over Darius Garland. I think that
Speaker 1: there's a clear opportunity for Japanese Jordan playing with the
Speaker 1: Washington Wizards. They just don't have enough talent there. It's
Speaker 1: Bradley Beale and who else you know, it's they have, Uh,
Speaker 1: I think they have Dovis Bertans on that team. Obvis
Speaker 1: pertends three point streamer there, but there's just really not
Speaker 1: a lot of talent. So I think Ruey Hashimura someone
Speaker 1: that can come close to averaging a double double in
Speaker 1: his first season in the NBA. Not bad at all.
Speaker 1: All Right, let's take a break. When we come back,
Speaker 1: we're gonnah on a bunch of players that you should
Speaker 1: not draft this year. These are the sleepers here the
Speaker 1: bust it comes up next. Want to be the next

Speaker 1: of the show's Frank, I'm Greggie as I take a
Speaker 1: look at what I got here my rankings, which I
Speaker 1: stepped from your rankings. Who are some players that when
Speaker 1: you see their names come up, You're like, you know what,
Speaker 1: I'm good. Kyrie Irving is one of those players I mentioned,
Speaker 1: you know, going in the second round. It's just too
Speaker 1: early for me. I understand he's an efficient player, um,
Speaker 1: but he's dealt with so many injuries the past couple
Speaker 1: of years. I still think the Brooklyn Nets are looking
Speaker 1: more so at next season once Kevin Durant returns. So
Speaker 1: are they really going to push Kye Irving. He's a
Speaker 1: fine player, but in the second round range, you know,
Speaker 1: I would rather target, you know, Drew Holiday, someone that
Speaker 1: you like that's going in that area. I'd rather take
Speaker 1: a Devin Booker. I'd rather, you know, pivot to a
Speaker 1: big man, take a DeAndre Ayton or a Rudy Gobert
Speaker 1: or Nicola Vuosovic. In my opinion, um, there's just too
Speaker 1: many injury concerns when it comes to Kyrie Irving. Greg
Speaker 1: uh And I think that, you know, some of these
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Nets players around him are gonna step up. You know,
Speaker 1: I liked argating Carris LeVert in the middle rounds and
Speaker 1: Joe Harrin's is gonna be taking a lot of threes
Speaker 1: for that team, and they have two big men who
Speaker 1: can play in DeAndre Jordan and Jared Allen as well.
Speaker 1: So Kye Irring talented player, but my opinion, second round
Speaker 1: too early for me. Kyrie Irving is somebody that, like
Speaker 1: last night when he was on the board and I
Speaker 1: took you holiday over him, I'm like, I'm making a mistake.
Speaker 1: And if you look at last year where he was
Speaker 1: supposedly mostly healthy, it wasn't as good as fantasy owners
Speaker 1: are certainly the Boston Celtics for having for so I
Speaker 1: agree Kyrie Irving is somebody that I'm not really going
Speaker 1: after this year because I'm concerned about load management for
Speaker 1: him too, I'm I'm concerned what Spencer did when his
Speaker 1: role is, what Carris Levert's role is, what Joe Harris's
Speaker 1: role is. Yeah, Kyrie Irving is the superstar here. I
Speaker 1: don't know that he helps me and enough categories that
Speaker 1: I want to take a shot on him. I completely
Speaker 1: agree with you much like I'm honestly avoiding. I told
Speaker 1: you this when I came in today, Frankie, I wanted
Speaker 1: Martin Rosen either, like I get what the Rosen is
Speaker 1: good at and I get things he's been a fantasy
Speaker 1: name state for so long, but with the Spurs you
Speaker 1: always have that chance and have of being on the bench.
Speaker 1: The Rosen doesn't help you in enough categories and now
Speaker 1: he's a better three point shooting now that he's ever
Speaker 1: been in his career. He doesn't help you enough anywhere.
Speaker 1: I don't want to spend an early round pick on
Speaker 1: the Rosen. You. Yeah, he's probably a better points league
Speaker 1: player than a categories league. He contributes a little bit
Speaker 1: across the board, you know, last year twenty one points,
Speaker 1: five point six rebounds, uh six point to assists, but
Speaker 1: doesn't shoot any threes, which is really tough because when
Speaker 1: you draft your shooting garden, they give you nothing in
Speaker 1: the three point department. It is tough to overcome that.
Speaker 1: But no, he is durable. He's someone who's played seventy
Speaker 1: four games in each of the past four seasons. So
Speaker 1: I understand he's part of the Spurs who basically a
Speaker 1: you know, created load management and giving players time off.
Speaker 1: But those were the Tim Duncan's of the world, and
Speaker 1: later on in their career managing nobly, you know, when
Speaker 1: those guys were thirty five years old. Plus, I still
Speaker 1: think that Demarda. Rosen is in a good spot right
Speaker 1: at through another name back your way, someone who you
Speaker 1: told me that you are openly avoiding and don't know
Speaker 1: that I necessarily feel the same way. That's Draymond Green.
Speaker 1: So tell everyone why you are avoiding Draymond Green right now.
Speaker 1: So again, especially in points leaves, he's gonna help you
Speaker 1: a lot in category that it's undeniable because he contributes
Speaker 1: across the board in every category, but in points lead
Speaker 1: at least in the past with Kevin Durant and Clay Thompson.
Speaker 1: There Jamald Green has not been reliable. It is not
Speaker 1: We have not seen playoff Draymond through at the regular season.
Speaker 1: There's times where he just my friend doesn't show up,
Speaker 1: you know, with so many of these players, like the CJ. McCollums,
Speaker 1: like even DeMar De Rosen who I mentioned. You know
Speaker 1: you're getting twenty points guarantee. This dude's gonna scores twenty
Speaker 1: points of a couple of rebounds, of a couple of assists,
Speaker 1: and you can put that you can be taking of
Speaker 1: the bank. But from playing DFS with Draymond Green, you're
Speaker 1: never getting that those twenty points you're gonna get like
Speaker 1: another team points most likely and you really need him
Speaker 1: to be playoff. Raymond where he's getting has the opportunity
Speaker 1: and the ability to get you ten, ten, ten, and
Speaker 1: then a couple of blocks, a couple of steals. When
Speaker 1: he does all of that, there may not be a
Speaker 1: more a more all the round player in fantasy basketball.
Speaker 1: And then Draymond Green, how consistent is that going to
Speaker 1: be over the eight two game period, Like, I can't
Speaker 1: expect twenty points a night Draymond Green, you expect ten.
Speaker 1: When it comes to rebounds, like, I don't know that
Speaker 1: he tries this hard in the regular season, So maybe
Speaker 1: you get like seven, that's fine, like ten and seven.
Speaker 1: And when it comes to assist like is he gonna
Speaker 1: be as active as he was in the postseason? Probably
Speaker 1: not get like five of those. That's good, ten, seven
Speaker 1: and five. It's a good game. It's not a great
Speaker 1: game for where he's being drafted. I have no problem
Speaker 1: drafting Draymond Green. I probably drafting Draymond Green where he goes.
Speaker 1: He's going in the third fourth round range. Right now,
Speaker 1: here's how I will I guess counter what you said, though,
Speaker 1: it's they don't have Kevin Duran anymore. They don't have
Speaker 1: Klay Thompson, Like maybe Klay Thompson returns later on in
Speaker 1: the season, but it's Steph Curry, it's D'Angelo Russell, it's
Speaker 1: just Draymond Green. I mean, that's basically they're Big three
Speaker 1: right now. And I think that Draymond Green is gonna
Speaker 1: be reliab to do more this year than he has
Speaker 1: been in years past, because, look, they playing a stack
Speaker 1: Western conference where they're not a lock to have home
Speaker 1: court advantage in the NBA playoffs. Some might say that
Speaker 1: they're not even a lock to make the NBA playoffs.
Speaker 1: That's probably going a little bit too far, but they're
Speaker 1: going to need Draymond Green to step up in order
Speaker 1: to have a good season, in order to have a
Speaker 1: good seed for the NBA playoffs. Greig, So, I think
Speaker 1: Curry has a monster year. I liked Angelo Russell in
Speaker 1: that third fourth round range, and I think that they're
Speaker 1: going to have to rely on Draymond Green to do
Speaker 1: more just because look at the rest of that team.
Speaker 1: It's you know, Willie Calli Stein and Kevon Looney at center,
Speaker 1: which is fine, but you know, it's not the talent
Speaker 1: level that they've been at in years past. It's Alfonso
Speaker 1: McKinney or Glenn Robinson the third starting at small forward.
Speaker 1: So I think ultimately just those big three for the
Speaker 1: Warriors are going to be relied on to do so
Speaker 1: much for this team because they don't really have much else.
Speaker 1: And I get that. I totally get that side of it.
Speaker 1: We haven't seen it, and and you were somebody the
Speaker 1: time Dangel Russell this year, and I understand that. I
Speaker 1: have no idea what Danzel Russell is going to be
Speaker 1: in that Warrior's offense. And you're right, he's gonna have
Speaker 1: to carry this scoring load. But how is he gonna
Speaker 1: be next to Steph Curry? He's not a shooter. That's
Speaker 1: step or Clay are right, Like, he's gonna be the
Speaker 1: primary ball handler with Steph gost de Mansion. I don't
Speaker 1: know what to make of D'Angelo Russell. And how D'Angel Russell,
Speaker 1: for instance, compares to Terry Rosier, right, Like, that's something
Speaker 1: everyone's very very high on Terry Rosier. Who would you
Speaker 1: rather hapen of those two guys? Russell Rosier, I'll still
Speaker 1: take D'Angelo Russell. I like the upside with Terry Rozier,
Speaker 1: but he legitimately might shoot from the field under forty
Speaker 1: percent on I don't know, fifteen sixteen shots of games.
Speaker 1: So if you play in the categories league, Terry Rozier
Speaker 1: is going to sink your field goal percentage. He's gonna
Speaker 1: turn the ball over a lot as well, But it
Speaker 1: wouldn't surprise me if he averages eighteen to twenty points
Speaker 1: seven assists per game. If you play in a head
Speaker 1: to head points league where efficiency doesn't really matter as much,
Speaker 1: then yeah, I love Rosier in that format. You know,
Speaker 1: fourth round pick, definitely think that's worth it. When it
Speaker 1: comes to D'Angel Russell, I trust Steve Kerry. I think
Speaker 1: that he is going to figure this out. I think
Speaker 1: he's one of the best head coaches in the NBA,
Speaker 1: and I think we're gonna be reminded of that this
Speaker 1: season a lot. Much like we've seen from James Harden
Speaker 1: and Chris Paul the past couple of seasons, They're going
Speaker 1: to stagger Steph Curry and D'anzel Russell. So maybe when
Speaker 1: we hit the six minute mark in an NBA game,
Speaker 1: Danzel Russell is gonna come out. He's going to come
Speaker 1: back in to start the second quarter. Steph Curry is
Speaker 1: going to take his break, you know, at the end
Speaker 1: of the first quarter or maybe a little bit before that,
Speaker 1: so that these guys are not really on the court
Speaker 1: as much together. Down the stretch of games, they probably
Speaker 1: won't have a choice but to be on the court together.
Speaker 1: But the first three quarters, I think Steve Kerr is
Speaker 1: gonna do a good job of staggering Danzel Russell and
Speaker 1: Steph Curry being on the court together. And I think, frankly,
Speaker 1: they're gonna need Steph Curry and Danzel Russells to score
Speaker 1: a ton this season. They're gonna need, you know, probably
Speaker 1: close to thirty points out of Curry, probably close to
Speaker 1: twenty five out of Danzel Russell. So I would take
Speaker 1: Russell because I think he's a more efficient player. I think,
Speaker 1: you know, he'll probably still be round five assists, maybe
Speaker 1: close to five rebounds, probably give you more three pointers
Speaker 1: than Rosier as well. Uh, they're close, but I would
Speaker 1: take to Danzel Russell. Another player that I absolutely despise
Speaker 1: every year, and you know this, frank Dandrew Wiggins. He's
Speaker 1: a terrible fantasy basketball player. All he does, his score,
Speaker 1: he's all right in the points league, but in his
Speaker 1: categories league do not draft. He's a so much worse
Speaker 1: version of Tomorrow DeRos and C. J. McCollum is what
Speaker 1: he is. Yeah, he's basically you know R J. Barrett.
Speaker 1: I think Barrett's gonna do more of the peripheral stats
Speaker 1: as well. I think Part's gonna get more assists. He's
Speaker 1: probably gonna get more steals. Nothing. There was a year
Speaker 1: eighteen points for a game, two and a half, assist,
Speaker 1: five rebounds. You and I owned him were two years ago?
Speaker 1: Did you have I had him? I didn't own him ever.
Speaker 1: I owned him in one of my home leagues, but
Speaker 1: I've never owned him in rhonuses league. You probably owned him.
Speaker 1: Maybe I owned him two years ago. Maybe I owned
Speaker 1: him in another league. I think I think it don't
Speaker 1: do anything except score. I think it's the other league
Speaker 1: that I owned him in a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1: But I think people are I wanted to drop him.
Speaker 1: I think that that's starting to be reflected in his
Speaker 1: ADP though, Greg He's not sucks. You know, in years
Speaker 1: past he was a fifth round pick, sixth round pick.
Speaker 1: Now you're getting him sometimes seventh, eighth round range. Again.
Speaker 1: You can take him in a head to head points league,
Speaker 1: but in a head to ad categories league unless you
Speaker 1: were really desperate for points at that point in the draft.
Speaker 1: He's not really gonna do much out of that. He
Speaker 1: doesn't shoot a lot of threes. He's, you know, kind
Speaker 1: of like the Rosen where De Rosen is a shooting
Speaker 1: guard that doesn't give you a lot of three point makes.
Speaker 1: At least a Rosen gives you more rebounds, he gives
Speaker 1: you more assists, he's more efficient from the field. Andrew
Speaker 1: Wiggins scores points, doesn't really do much outside of that,
Speaker 1: so only targeted him in a head to head points league.
Speaker 1: Wiggins is not something that's all my raider. You want
Speaker 1: a cheaper version of about of Andrew Wiggins. T J. Warren,
Speaker 1: that's what he is. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 1: And you can get him what two rounds later, three
Speaker 1: rounds later? Where did I pick him last night? Pick
Speaker 1: a hundreds and like that. I think you got him
Speaker 1: in the ninth round range. Whatever, it's good, it's good value.
Speaker 1: That's your guy. You're a t J. Warren guy. Victor
Speaker 1: Oladipo probably gonna miss the first three four months of
Speaker 1: the year. They're going to need t J. Warren for
Speaker 1: scoring they're gonna need sabonus to do more, and that's
Speaker 1: where Malcolm Brogden comes in the mix as well. Now,
Speaker 1: starting for the Indiana Pacers, we're call all other guys
Speaker 1: you want to mention me about four minutes to go.
Speaker 1: So who's all the guys you want to mention before
Speaker 1: we wrap this one up? You brought up Terry ros Year.
Speaker 1: He's someone that I'm targeting in that fourth fifth round range.
Speaker 1: I will also bring up Caris LeVert and Dario Sarage.
Speaker 1: These have been my guys for as long as they've
Speaker 1: been in the league. You know, you watch Caros LeVert
Speaker 1: early last season before he suffers the gruesome foot ankle injury,
Speaker 1: and he was starting to take over as this team's
Speaker 1: number one option. Well that's not gonna happen with Kyrie
Speaker 1: Irving on the team, but with Kevin Durant out, he's
Speaker 1: likely going to be the number two option. And he's
Speaker 1: a good two way player. I think he's going to
Speaker 1: be on the court a lot. He's gonna play over
Speaker 1: thirty minutes per game. Could give you some defensive numbers.
Speaker 1: I think he averages eighteen points a game, gives you
Speaker 1: five six rebounds, gives you three or four assists, gives
Speaker 1: you some defensive stats, shoots a couple of threes. I
Speaker 1: think you know. Going in those middle rounds, Caris LeVert
Speaker 1: is somebody that I would be targeting. And then a
Speaker 1: little bit later on very surprising on Yahoo he has
Speaker 1: center eligibility. I have no idea. I don't think this
Speaker 1: guy has ever played center before. But keep it, keep
Speaker 1: it in your the back of your mind if you're
Speaker 1: drafting on Yahoo. Dario Sarige we saw a couple of
Speaker 1: years ago. Greg had the monster season with the Philadelphia
Speaker 1: seventies sixers. He was drafted early. I think he's a
Speaker 1: very talented player. Last year traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves,
Speaker 1: didn't really have a role on that team. Now he
Speaker 1: lands with the Phoenix Suns. He's gonna start at the
Speaker 1: four on a team that's going to run. They're gonna
Speaker 1: play at a high pace. Ricky Rubio as the point guard,
Speaker 1: is going to put players in position to succeed. I
Speaker 1: do believe that. I think Dario Sartch is in position
Speaker 1: for a bounce back season. Greg in that round eight
Speaker 1: to ten range, fifteen points, seven rebounds, a couple of
Speaker 1: three pointers, someone that could give you threes from the
Speaker 1: big man position, I like Dario Sarich and Carres Lavert.
Speaker 1: Is there anyone else that you're looking at in those
Speaker 1: middle rounds or or maybe even some later round guys?
Speaker 1: So for me, a guy that I I drafted last
Speaker 1: night and actually thought he fell a little bit too
Speaker 1: far brandon Ingram. I think Ingram Ingram falls into that
Speaker 1: into that role where he missed a lot of the
Speaker 1: season last year, um due to this was a heart
Speaker 1: was horror? Was it stunny? It was something weird? Like
Speaker 1: did I didn't really work out with the Los Angeles
Speaker 1: Maybe something like that? It was it was something weird.
Speaker 1: I know marquet Folds had the thoracic out. Well, you're right, yeah,
Speaker 1: but Brandon Ingram was dealing with something you kind of
Speaker 1: wish you would put on more strength. He does have
Speaker 1: that frame frame, and I get that we new start
Speaker 1: here with the New Orleans pelaty and I don't even
Speaker 1: waiting even ran than Ingland to break out and really
Speaker 1: they take over kind of we wore for Wiggins, but
Speaker 1: now you're at this fresh story you're at and his
Speaker 1: ADP has fallen to the point where like, all right,
Speaker 1: I'll take I'll going in a similar range as Dario
Speaker 1: Sarge round eight or round nine. I'll take him at
Speaker 1: that spot and be like, all right, let's see what
Speaker 1: this guy can do in New Orleans rounded by a cast.
Speaker 1: It's really really good for him. A team that wants
Speaker 1: to run the ball Alan under Alvin Gentry. I think
Speaker 1: Brandon Ingram in that spot really solid target um. He
Speaker 1: comes to mind. I think, looking at my list, Jonathan Isaac,
Speaker 1: you have to mention, is somebody who could take another
Speaker 1: speed another defensive numbers guys like, especially in head to
Speaker 1: head categories, going into similar range right now as Brandon
Speaker 1: Ingram in those mid rounds those you know, seven eight nine,
Speaker 1: if you need defensive numbers in your draft. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is someone that might average steal and a half
Speaker 1: almost a blockbirgame over a block for a game play
Speaker 1: small forward, power forward. I think the scoring goes up
Speaker 1: a little bit going to rebound um playing the four
Speaker 1: for that team, playing the three for the Orlando Magic.
Speaker 1: But you know seven eight rebounds. I like it as well.
Speaker 1: I like Jonathan Isaac all right, and I have to
Speaker 1: ask you about one nick here. Mitchell Robinson is an
Speaker 1: early round pick at center. We saw him fall in
Speaker 1: our draft last night. O come. I think people are
Speaker 1: worried about the playing time. Fitzdale kind of goes through
Speaker 1: these wacky rotations where he just kind of plays whoever
Speaker 1: is performing. But I think Mitch is in play for
Speaker 1: a big year. Could average over two blocks per game,
Speaker 1: could average a double double as well. I'm not as worried.
Speaker 1: I think he gets around twenty eight minutes per game.
Speaker 1: He's freak. Example, I am Greg Sauceman tomorrow on the
Speaker 1: show we preview Week seven, my pick tonight's case. Have
Speaker 1: a great night. We'll do it all again tomorrow. We hope,
Speaker 1: go y eggs. I want to be the next Daily

Speaker 1: So what did that happen. What did Here's what you
Speaker 1: missed on the BFFs. Franks on the first pick last night.
Speaker 1: I like what he did for the most part. Couple
Speaker 1: of things I would have done differently, obviously, but I
Speaker 1: don't have a chance to you because I can't traft
Speaker 1: On senter. I'm sorry. Well, you know what. We will
Speaker 1: consult and we will figure out players that we both want,
Speaker 1: and I will try my best to integrate those players
Speaker 1: that you want. Hopefully I can get Josh Richardson fort
Speaker 1: I say, the best part of fantasy basketball drafts are
Speaker 1: what's that? It's so quick. We were done in our
Speaker 1: last time. It was good exactly an hour last night.
Speaker 1: I didn't get out. It was awesome. I love it.
Speaker 1: If we go over the first round. I feel like
Speaker 1: that's the first thing we should do. We do we
Speaker 1: want to break in about a minute and a half.
Speaker 1: So I probably passed on that, alright, that's I mean,
Speaker 1: it wouldn't There's just a lot to break down. There is.
Speaker 1: I don't want to like star and then like literally
Speaker 1: in a minute half. So I put out a poll
Speaker 1: before the show. Let's just do this. Let's just do
Speaker 1: the first pick. If you had the first overall pick?
Speaker 1: Who would you take? Because I put off the poll
Speaker 1: and as of now there are thirty votes. One candidate
Speaker 1: has zero percent of those votes. Uh, Yannampo is the
Speaker 1: leading vote getter right now? Is that where you would
Speaker 1: go if you have the first overall pick? Yeah, and
Speaker 1: that's what we talked about. You're making me do this,
Speaker 1: you know, I said, I you know I don't want
Speaker 1: to do I say, we don't have to do the
Speaker 1: whole first round. I was just saying, let's go over
Speaker 1: to the first pick overall. I would move. I would
Speaker 1: vote for Nat into the KOMBO. I think that yannest
Speaker 1: does a little bit of everything. He has obviously multiposition eligibility.
Speaker 1: He's just can help you at all every categories. Like
Speaker 1: category he doesn't help you in. There's a change based
Speaker 1: on the format. Now, how about in a road a league? Right?
Speaker 1: Because I'll bring this up to you stupid All right, Well,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. We participate in a few Fantasy Baseball road leagues,
Speaker 1: but the n f B k C, if you want
Speaker 1: to play some high stakes, is roads history. And I
Speaker 1: think that you can argue that Anthony Davis and Anthony
Speaker 1: Towns might be better rotistory players with the number one
Speaker 1: overall pick Greg because they don't really have any deficiencies
Speaker 1: in their game. I mean, Janice free throw percentage is
Speaker 1: not great. I'm not gonna shoot me threes, and any Davis, Karl,
Speaker 1: Anthony Towns starting to shoot more threes, starting to ball
Speaker 1: hand a little bit more as well. I think Anthony
Speaker 1: Davis had like six or seven assists last night and
Speaker 1: only twenty five minutes of play. So I think in
Speaker 1: a rotistory league you actually can make the argument for
Speaker 1: a few other people. Overall, I think Janie and James
Speaker 1: Harden are more often than not if you just play
Speaker 1: a head to head categories league or head to head points,
Speaker 1: those are the two that I'm considering most. Greig, Yeah,
Speaker 1: fair enough, Your honest and Harden both fine choices. Obviously,
Speaker 1: they both do everything. They both play every night. Something
Speaker 1: you want to know, and I noticed is here on
Speaker 1: the left side, and you can see right here that
Speaker 1: you need to avoid load management. And that's what that's
Speaker 1: going to be a key for us all throughout the
Speaker 1: next hour talking about that. Whenever I had a decision
Speaker 1: between two players, it was always about load management. And
Speaker 1: what I liked about both Janice and Hardened and Karl
Speaker 1: Anthony Towns as well. I don't expect them to really
Speaker 1: be rested now. There were times last year with Milwaukee
Speaker 1: having such a big lead in Eastern Conference where they
Speaker 1: did rest honest down the stretch. Hard Engine doesn't get
Speaker 1: rested at all. Karl Anthony Town's hates basing games. He
Speaker 1: needn't get rested at all. After that, it kind of
Speaker 1: feels like everyone is kind of at risk. So that's
Speaker 1: gonna be a theme I think throughout the hour, just
Speaker 1: trying to avoid some of those players that have the
Speaker 1: load management issues.
