Just Completed My First NBA Fantasy Draft

Did it on ESPN with some of my boys here at school... So, out of 8 teams, I started picking 7th, then the order inverts the next round, then inverts back to the original order, so I picked 7th, then 2nd, then 7th and so forth. I made some reaches with some rookies in the mid-late rounds, but I think they're gonna have huge years. I was going to get Crash but somebody got to him before me in like the 3rd round. Tell me what you guys think of this roster if you don't mind...

C - Brook Lopez

PF - Zach Randolph

SF - Brandon Roy

SG - Tyreke Evans

PG - Steph Curry

G - Jax

F - Blake Griffin (surprise pick, he was a little ways down the list and this was like the 8th round or so)

UTIL - John Wall (another surprise, or 'reach' considering where he was ordered)

UTIL - Kevin Love (I was gonna take Kaman, I think this was my 2nd to last pick but someone got him right before me, I'm still happy with this one)

Bench - DJ Augustin (lol, with the last pick)

Kevin Love is a great pickup for your 2nd to last pick. He had a great preseason.

Yeah, I posted this over at BP too, but not much feedback...

I was on the fence about that one man, I was going to go with Kaman but someone took him right before my pick and I was kind of worried about it because Love didn't get the burn I thought he deserved last year...

But, then I thought about it and figured the Jefferson trade kind of had a domino effect in the front court and should open up big minutes for him, especially after his performance in the Worlds.

I hope it's not just being naive, but I actually think this is a solid roster top to bottom whereas the other guys were really based off one big guy (LBJ, Kobe, etc.)

I think Love and Griffin are steals. Both played great in preseason.

Yeah D. Williams was my first choice for PG but he was off the board after like the 1st round, but after Steph's first game, I'm not disappointed at all lol. Luckily I had Blake on my roster, b/c Zach Randolph's fat ass went down with an injury and destroyed me night... He was horrible, he went out of the game after like 15 mins and didn't come back.

So far I'm getting beat, and the other guy has Dwight Howard who still hasn't played and Wall is the only guy that hasn't played for me yet.

BTW, after last night, I dropped DJ from my bench and picked up Kevin Martin lol.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By Basbear · Posted

      After seeing hits in the last two UDFA pools, I do not in this group sorta of a let down after I gassed myself up.  Not like I know of their games, but just expected more. The duke DT only has to beat out hunte (2025 UDFA) or Ray (DL coach's kid) or even Cam Jackson mid 2025 5th.  I thought they would bring in more edges, IOL, TEs, etc...

      The Icky knee didn't explode draft

      My 2 favorite picks, since you didn't ask? 3. Brazzell II.  A 1000 yard WR with 4.37 speed and checks all the boxes for a Z Wide Receiver.  IN THE THIRD ROUND!!! 5.  Sam Hecht.  I think he will take over as the starter at some point this season and never look back.  IN THE FIFTH ROUND. Runner Up:  2. Hunter:  We were targeting a DT early in this draft because we did very little to replace Robinson in free agency.  Hunter was our guy and he will start. In addition to that, you got a starting tackle that should man one side of the new OL we will build for Bryce's second contract. A starting WR, offensive lineman, defensive lineman and possible Offensive tackle (at some point during this year from this draft will start.  UNREAL. In addition, I don't doubt that Wheatley (5th round) takes the FS job by next year and Lee III is Jackson's replacement in 2027.   Finally, even Kuwatch should be a special teams demon and LB depth.   Last year's draft was so good it was ugly.  This one will turn out to be uglier.  No offense Basbear--this ain't about you.
