Runelvys Hernandez 182 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) Hi all, My game is fantasy baseball. I'm a huge Knicks fan, but fantasy basketball has never been my strong suit. Perhaps I'm used to losing in basketball scenarios. Anyway, after coming in 19th last year with a tank job that involved grabbing some nice draft picks in trades, I sit with the #2 pick. I don't know who the guy at #1 is picking. I feel like there are basically 4-5 guys I could target at #2. I can't draft: Giannis or Towns. They are keepers. The Internet is telling me to draft: Russell Westbrook. Why? Because he's #1 most places. Also, it seems like he averaged a quadruple-double last year? Points, rebounds, assists, and turnovers? Also, Kevin Durant - he is ranked #1 on Yahoo. Who I want to draft: Stephen Curry. OK, am I living too much in 2015-16? I just think he's the man. He shoots for a higher percentage than Harden and Westbrook. He could average 4.5 3's. He has nearly HALF the TO's as Westbrook and Harden. He gets more steals. Sure, he doesn't have the boards and dimes of those two, but don't the other categories even it out? Plus, I can't think that Westbrook will be able to stat-stuff as much as last year, as the team will be more focused on the 3-pronged attack. Chris Paul will be handling the ball in Houston, which will limit Harden's TO but also his AST. Am I crazy to want Steph? Like I said, fantasy hoops isn't my thing, so I apologize if this is a dumb question. But can you help a (Splash) Brother out??

cdd10 1,198 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) draft harden and punt turnovers. oh didn't know durant would be available, i would take durant. Edited October 11, 2017 by cdd10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Runelvys Hernandez 182 Posted October 11, 2017 Author Share Posted October 11, 2017 Thanks. Not sure if Durant will be available - he very well may go #1. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnnyidra 31 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I'd take Harden then Westbrook at #2 and then try to trade for Steph if you're deadset on owning him. You just know they'll put up gaudy popcorn stats out the gate that everyone loves. Maybe you can get a good package. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spaced 27 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 KD if available, if not I think Steph is a good choice. Harden, Westbrook, AD are all perfectly fine choices as well so it's up to you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

True, and Harden is bound to take a hit with Paul coming to town, drop in assists and 3 PM, I might go with Curry honestly now that I think about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GmGodine 327 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Always go with KD bro Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Runelvys Hernandez 182 Posted October 13, 2017 Author Share Posted October 13, 2017 Thanks. I'm thinking KD now, and try and get a PG later. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
letemfly 50 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 KD since he's the safest pick and you can't go wrong with any of your choices. Help? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
