The first pilot season of the Basketbawful Fantasy League has begun! Sorry for jumping intbetween the Division previews, but the results had to be posted somewhere, and I was too lazy to finish them until yesterday. As a note, we agreed to expand our league to 11 categories, including PFs and TECHs. For bonus hilarious effect, but probably more out of general apathy, 6 managers let Autopick decide their fate.
Black Belt in Crotty, Epitome of Sadness, Purple Paupers (chris!), Scrappy Coco, Stockton to Ostertag, and Zombie KY Colonels (Dan B!) all couldn't make it. I'll highlight in red picks I thought werereachescrappy, and highlight in green picks I thought were stealspicks I was jealous of or wanted for myself.
Only one major surprise here, which is obviously Rose at the 3rd pick. I thought it was an Autopick error, but in hindsight, it started a trend which will become clear shortly. LeBron dropping to 5 despite his absurdly low PFs and all around game was the steal of the round. And personally I don't like seeing Danny Granger fall this low, but lots of opinions vary on that.
I didn't like Bosh this early, but maybe his low PFs and all around numbers explain the pick. Dwight Howard Autopicked here is awful, and will be killer in FT%, TO, PF, and TECH. Tyreke this early is not only awful Kahn-style Autopicking (vacuuming up PGs), but didn't even give chris a chance to draft his team's rising young star! Again, Scrappy Coco with the steal, somehow getting an incredible FT punting team started.
Danza rebounds with a mini steal, followed by a stream of more Kahn Autopicks. I don't like Westbrook or Wall this high, and Rondo's Jump Shot's decision to reach for Love was curious. He got Z-Bo in the next round anyways, but still that could have been a better pick, if only for Free Mario to have the Gay-Love combo.
"Fuck it, I'm taking the Italians." Also, we're lucky Autopick sucks, as Scrappy passed on Marc Gasol for a pretty damn ultimate FT punt team. Bogut was a little early too, as you can see in the next round, drafting injurious big men was apparently Oliver Thriller's gameplan. Dan B gets the rookie shaft again.
Way too early for Griffin. I dunno if this was the right round to be reaching for injured stars to help the March/April games, so I'm just going to label them all red and let Lady Luck sort it out.
I let the clock run down to 5 seconds or less on this one, as the crowd was egging me on to actually take Hedo, and I was considering it after Aaron Brooks was heartlessly stolen right before me. But alas, I chose my Arizona alum instead, drawing sighs of "ohh, so close!". I was considering grabbing Jeff Green this round too, and seeing him drop all the way to 11th pick was bittersweet. Another injurous center for Oliver Thriller, and honestly look at poor Dan B's team now.
Lou Wolding goes either way too early or way too late, whether you believe the hype of his 3-pt shot with his much improved teammates. As for me, I totally biff the pick, getting lured by the "best available" scent, but completely useless player for my team strategy. Pretty sad that I was even willing to take Ariza here.
Another biff. I really needed a backup point guard, and having forgot Jrue Holiday I went with the stack on 3pt and PTS. I mean, aside from that, look at everyone else drafted this round. Ugh. I'm just going to give every non-Hibbert Center a red tag because I'm more likely to be right than wrong. Vince gets a special purple tag because he's still a raptor in my heart. And also we just need to all watch this again, thank you Dan B.
And there goes Lou right before my eyes. Here's hoping Morrow can up his steals totals this season! Maybe Okur could have fit my team better...
I got a lot of praise for snagging Batum this freaking late (110), I mean after all he's projected with a 2.8 V12 in SCHOENE, ranking him 42. Otherwise, this is getting pretty grim pretty quickly.
Yes, I was even waiting on Jose Calderon. Somehow Reggie Williams is stolen from me in every draft. I think too many people know how to sort by per-minute production. Evan Turner isn't even worth drafting, with his disappointing pre-season showing. I'm going to give myself a pat for stealing Amir "the replacement Bosh" Johnson, but I think he might single-handidly sink my PF category. Boris Diaw gets an F for Fat.
As a recipient of the YES network on my standard cable, I can guarantee that Terrence Williams is straight up both awful in real life and fantasy. However, Wilson Chandler, while pretty horrible in person, is actually a quietly good defensive stats contributor, so I shall toot my own horn. My quest towards the punt assist team turned out pretty successful, despite starting with Deron Williams.
This was the greatest draft round in the history of draft rounds. Just look at that Basketbawful masterpiece. We were all rooting for Free Mario to make an epic draft pick and boy did he deliver beautifully. I'm so proud of you guys.

| 11. | Rodney Stuckey (Det - PG,SG) | Purple Paupers |

| 11. | Amir Johnson (Tor - PF) | AHL's Hedo Nightmare |
| 12. | George Hill (SA - PG,SG) | Free Mario! |
Yes, I was even waiting on Jose Calderon. Somehow Reggie Williams is stolen from me in every draft. I think too many people know how to sort by per-minute production. Evan Turner isn't even worth drafting, with his disappointing pre-season showing. I'm going to give myself a pat for stealing Amir "the replacement Bosh" Johnson, but I think he might single-handidly sink my PF category. Boris Diaw gets an F for Fat.

| 11. | Luke Ridnour (Min - PG) | Purple Paupers |
| 12. | Jason Thompson (Sac - PF,C) | Colostomy Bags |
As a recipient of the YES network on my standard cable, I can guarantee that Terrence Williams is straight up both awful in real life and fantasy. However, Wilson Chandler, while pretty horrible in person, is actually a quietly good defensive stats contributor, so I shall toot my own horn. My quest towards the punt assist team turned out pretty successful, despite starting with Deron Williams.
| Round 13 | ||

| 11. | Mike Bibby (Atl - PG) | AHL's Hedo Nightmare |
| 12. | Tracy McGrady (Det - SG,SF) | Free Mario! |
This was the greatest draft round in the history of draft rounds. Just look at that Basketbawful masterpiece. We were all rooting for Free Mario to make an epic draft pick and boy did he deliver beautifully. I'm so proud of you guys.

After watching him play college ball... yes. He is garbage.
This is the first fantasy sports team I've ever managed, and considering 1) I know nothing of advanced stats in basketball, which is probably important for fantasy games, 2) I honestly don't know how fantasy basketball games are won or lost, what stat categories are important, etc. 3) I wasn't able to make it for the draft, I knew I was probably hosed no matter what. So I decided to take risks. (I am so screwed...)
-Kobe? Whatever.
-I'm hoping that Dwight Howard finally learned how to play offense during the off-season, though it's not likely. Will his blocks and rebounds help me all that much?
-Wall's numbers might be awful or might be great, but he's so much fun to watch it's worth it to have him on my team.
-Cousins is a gamble, but dude's game is perfectly built for the NBA provided he doesn't lose his shit and get suspended for some reason.
-Kevin Martin will probably make me want to bang my head against the wall.
-Hedo Turkododo? Here's to hoping Steve Nash magically transforms him into something resemblig a professional basketball player. (Ball.)
-John Salmons? Ugh.
-Bad Porn Maggette? I could have sworn I put him on my Exclude list...
-Robin Lopez might be good.
-JR Smith is a headcase.
-Boris Diaw? Son of a bitch.
-Tiago Splitter? I have no idea who that guy is, but apparently he might not suck, so woo.
-And finally... Darko. Oh yes. There's no way I can't succeed with the Human Victory Cigar on my team, right?
Speaking of the team analysis, Scrappy Coco turned out with the best projected team, which is horrifying to think it could have been even better. If he gets a trade for a late round scorer and turns Paul Pierce into another 3pt/FT% punt guy, Scrappy Coco runs away with the title.
2nd best? It might be chris's Kahn Autopick team. Great steal picks, and if he can pickup some more 3pt, reb, and pts (punting FG% and pending Wesley Johnson's performance), he's well rounded in the other 7 categories.
3rd is a near-tie between Stockton to Ostertag, Epitome of Sadness, and my team. Somehow, I ended up with a low TOV team, which isn't really my style, but alas, let the game begin
I ranked Bosh high because I honestly think his stats will go up this year instead of down. That could end up biting me in the ass, though...
KAHNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!
I don't see him going in Round 5 as a major reach at all. I wish I'd taken him in my draft at a higher spot.
Dan B - This is 11 category Head-2-Head, so each week you collect stats and compare them to someone else's team. If you win more categories than the other person, you win the week. On the main league page, click on "Head-to-Head stats" to get an idea of what's being looked at.
Brandon - There's still plenty of proven guys on the board in round 5. Besides, his team had Kevin Durant, and he'd already drafted PF/Cs. Not to mention the injury potential, but Round 5 was filled with injury prone guys anyways.
NOBODY DRAFTED SHAQ?!?!
The Suns entire starting unit got drafted, and a bench player, wow.
Personally I would have grabbed Joel Przybilla at some point, he's probably going to start for the Blazers all season, the worst manager should need to get a tattoo of Greg Oden's knees
BTW, I'm in the Basketbawful Leftovers Fantasy League, we're going really bawful, this is my team, Overpaid Scrubs:
-Steve Blake
-Jordan Farmar
-Jason Williams
-J.R. Smith
-Ron Artest
-Matt Barnes
-Michael Beasley
-Amir Johnson
-DeMarcus Cousins
-Kenyon Martin
-Birdman
-Shaq
My team is more than just bawful, it's almost...evil
should be a fun season
http://nbaplaybook.com/2010/10/20/jordan-farmars-heady-play-catches-the-knicks-off-guard/
2. I find it fitting that all my picks received the blue font, because I was very ambivalent about my draft.

AnacondaHL, well, my team's good at paper. Let's how well they'll show up when the league starts. LeBron might get some sort of "crab" on his hammy again.

I have to post the draf of the Basketbawful Leftovers League tomorrow!
Don't get me started on my Bawful Leftovers team, I missed the draft and now I'm basically useless in that league.
I (Black Belt in Crotty) was absolutely there! I can't justify half of my picks in hindsight, but I certainly was the one making them.
And Wilson Chandler is good production across the board with good percentages late in the draft. Fits most draft strategies.
I just started my own fantasy sports blog.
