why did i draft speedy claxton in my fantasy basketball draft?

As a Sixers fan whose fantasy teams are always steal-heavy, I looked long and hard at Speedy too.  Don't kick yourself too hard.  Just lower your expectations a bit.  I'm thinking of a few of this year's fantasy football drafts that the experts thought highly of.  Daunte Culpepper or Ashley Lelie? Ouch.  Ronnie Brown or Mike Vick? Well, they're coming around.  Edgerrin James or Warrick Dunn? Somewhere in the middle compared to the experts' pre-season expectations.  You just have to place your bet which one he'll turn out to be.  And, if you're thinking Daunte, you try to shop him around to somebody else who's willing to gamble that he's a Ronnie Brown.\n\n-Regards!

Right now they have one pick, #8 overall.  This could change however, because the draft isn't until June 28.

I don't suppose it was an AL-only draft and the person was trying to draft Felipe Lopez. That's one obvious explanation, but I assume you have already thought of that.

To answer the question I go from the standpoint of who would I draft if I had either Pick 1,2,3,4,5 in a fantasy draft of all players...\n\n1.  Magic Johnson - No one else offers the combination of guard play with rebounding and scoring and leadership\n\n2.  Wilt Chamberlain - Greatest Center to Play the Game - Center is a premimum position.  Changed the game because of his ability.\n\n3.  Michael Jordan - Leadership and Scoring.  I would not consider him the greatest since he competed in era of diluted talent\n\n4.  Kareem Abdul Jabbar - All time leading scorer\n\n5.  Larry Bird - Clutch Player, Amazing Scorer, Made Everyone around him better

telfair is still a young developing player. he came straight out of high scool at the age of 18. he was not ready for the nba and should have went to college. but he has 2 seasons of maturity at portland under his belt. also he was often injured last season and is not a west coast player. he is a east coast player from brooklyn. i think playing in boston will help him and being under doc rivers will help as well. i thought it was a good trade becasue the draft was weak.

Because he can contribute in every category. He contributes points, rebounds, assists, block, and steals. Plus, he is one of the premier shotblockers in the league

If they keep this up, they do have a chance of making it to the playoffs, but not as deep as the 6th seed. Pachulia and Johnson have been having excellent starts, and Claxton should follow as well.\n\nJoe Johnson? He's certainly on my AllStar list this year, but in my list he should be in the top 15 or 20, since Atlanta has been doing fine and his 29 PPG looks great. \n\nAnyway, Im from Georgia, but dont think of this as bias or some sort. Im in the South part but I will watch a Hawks game sometime in December.

If it's gonna be extremely hard to pick up another C, then I'd hold on to Okafor, even though he's out for a while.  But then again, if you NEED stats from that roster spot, then it'd be advisable to drop him and try to pick up a decent free agent or make a 2 for 1 trade... it's possible, but if it's 20 team deep, you'd be in a bit of trouble.  At least you have Wade, Garnett and Abdur-Rahim!  The rest of your team is decent, only because the league is so deep.

first off draft was on saturday, and you posted this 2 hours ago. either you live on the moon and get late brodcasting. or you were in coma and just woke up. reggie bush should of been picked 1st, but the texans had a different team need. they already had a long term qb, so they wouldnt sign cutler, young, or leinart. i thought they should pick bush but no deal. it actually doesnt really matter, bush should have gone first no matter who was drafting first. why would you move up to the first pick to draft someone different?

Well,  I knew about Charlie when he was a Mcdonalds all american. He was nasty and i could tell he had potential. He had a solid college year and i believe he was worthy of that spot. It's only college and everyone in the draft has not proved anything. Anyone could be a bust player. umm Kwame Brown.   Yeah anyway i could tell the was going to become a solid player. I think the guy is a moron cause he can't see talent when its stareing him in the face.

You should've said basketball draft as not everyone knows that you are impersonating a pro basketball player.\nNot always the team with the worst record. The lottery pick winner. \n\nLook on ESPN.COM they are up to date on those things.

Absolutely!  The thing that makes him a valuable fantasy player is that he plays on 3rd down.  He'll catch passes and rack up receiving yards.  His durability is a major plus too.  He has stayed pretty healthy for his career.  He's maybe not a first rounder (Larry Johnson and L. Tomlinson), but definitely a high pick.

If he is available, you should pick him up.  He reminds me of a Ben Wallace type of Player who can score.  I don't know about putting him in at Center, but he could definately bolster you lineup in at PF

It sounds a little shady to me.  My Commish always has a witness around when the draft order is selected (we do it old school and draw names out of a hat).  He had the 8th pick this year so I think it's safe to say that my commish is not cheating!! I would discuss this with other members and discuss how to approach your manager on this issue.

Utah would not pass up Redick if he was still available at their pick.  Most every lottery team would be happy to add him to their roster, but Utah and Portland seem to be likely candidates to draft him.
