Jake the snake 1,749 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 (edited) Derrick Rose - G - Timberwolves Derrick Rose made 6-of-10 from the field for 16 points as the starting shooting guard on Saturday, adding one assist, two steals and one 3-pointer in 21 minutes. Don't do it, Thibs. Don't you dare give Rose more shots than Karl-Anthony Towns, who had just eight. Rose could have a chance to hold down the fort at shooting guard, but you would think the Wolves are looking to add a wing in a Jimmy Butler deal. There are likely better targets than Rose in just about all leagues. Sep 29 - 11:05 PM This is honestly hilarious. Who writes these Rotoworld blurbs...No doubt they will release an article stating don't overreact to preseason (as per the normal publications every year) and then this rubbish is published. Earth to Rotoworld...it's preseason. Maybe just maybe they are trying a few things with their offense...Do they seriously think the guy who just signed $190M supermax is going to get 8 shots per game and the offense is going to run through Derrick Rose...

To tell you the truth I am terrified of the idea D. Rose starting at SG... KAT should be legit 30-15 guy... but I have a feeling he won't be that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes. In all honesty, they can be trying a few things but it’s not out of the question because clearly if Thibs is bringing all his old Chicago players back he may still believe they are his best chances to keep his job and not KAT. Lol. But it it is quite funny. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thibs doesnt seem to care about what the ownership wants and after owning him last year and seeing him call for the ball only to be ignored by teammates repeatedly (you would expect the coach to have a say), I won't put it past the realm of possibility Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Saucy 198 Posted October 1, 2018 Author Share Posted October 1, 2018 3rd pick not too early for him right? Or am I better off going with Harden or Giannis? I want to punt assists, I think the ADPs on ESPN are really conducive to that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Basically only thing which I try to follow is that during first 3 rounds I draft one PF/C and one PG. But even this rule I don't follow in every draft. I feel that following certain rules just creates some restrictions - you can't pick many players but I try always be free in picking. And I consider it not as "building". In actual building you have to find bricks which fit into holes, but draft is not a construction work. I can see how that comes across for me. I really focus on comparative advantages and positional scarcity with categorical scarcity. The end result is me ranking bigs higher than the rankings sites. I have written a bit about how I decide my first round pick and who to match in the second, and that is a preference and mine is usually category killing. I am not the roto player that believes in balanced picks throughout a draft. I believe in categorical dominance that needs to be balanced throughout a draft. Sorry if my posts come across as a person that tries to fit a square peg through a round hole because that isn't my intent. I have been branching out based on my draft position. This is just a really detailed conversation that is tough to cover in a forum post. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure why but i'm starting to question my choice over Giannis. Thoughts? To me, there's clear tiers: Davis Harden KAT Giannis Durant/Steph/Lebron In the leagues where Harden fell to me because someone loved Giannis, I took Harden without thinking twice. But in the one league where I had third and the first tier was gone, I picked KAT and didn't think twice. Of course, there's no telling how it shakes out. But Giannis was 8th last year, his stocks dropped, and his minutes are guaranteed to drop this year. He's a great player and you can easily win a fantasy championship with him, but KAT is #3 to me and I'm losing no sleep over it. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ejaggit 160 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I'm in guys. Got him at 5. Wasn't the ideal situation, had him last year. I hope Butler gets dealt so we can see the real towns from two years ago Quote Link to post Share on other sites
