CQQ:

PG:

Westbrook seeems to be taking a modest step back on the scoring side now that pG and Melo are in town. His value shouldn't change much as he'll threaten 25 12 10 a night anyway and if anything it'll keep him fresh.

Lowry is in the same route tier as Conley in the borderline elite/somewhat boring category. He's a lock for 20/7/4 a night and he's always put up good shooting numbers. DeLong Wright is coming into his own so they might not have to rely on him do much and that might get payoff.

SG:

Brogdon was a nice surprise last year and a good sleeper this year that I liked. He wont be flashy but he's a very steady 14-15 ppg guy that gives quality things across the board and his very low risk. People say since he's 25 he doesn't have much upside but I disagree as players can always get better with playing time/experience,I'd like him more as a backup though but he's a decent starter.

Swaggy will be hit or miss as always bit he's in a perfect spot. I wouldn't expect miracles through.

SF:

Melo was really good value and I'm a little surprised he fell that far. He's finally in a role he should've been in for years as a 2nd or 3rd banana. His scoring will stick around 20-21 with rebounds getting a bump due to him actually wanting to play pf and that'll also enhance his FG%. People have been calling him washed up but this might be the shot in the arm he needs.

Having Tatum you will benefit a ton from Hayward injury. He's extremely ready for a 19 year old and looks fantastic already,he went from end of bench fill in to legit number 2 SF that should smash that value in a way porter did last year. He could easily threaten for ROY and will get versatility when he gets PF later as Steven's likes him there. He's got a solid low teens points floor with 7-8 rebounds 3 asts and sound percentages but with all rookies he might have a bump or two.

Simmons is finally playing and the results are impressive so far. I think a good safe projection for him is around Giannis 3rd year(16 PPG 7.3 Rebs 4.5 Asts high 40s FG) with upside but remember this is his first real season of basketball in over a year so need be cautious about a wall. Even then though his all around game gives him a floor and they want to make things go through him. I definitely don't think he'll be picked in the 5th next year lol.

Markieff if his heads on straight and he comes back from injury fine is a value pick for sure. He was a solid back up PF last year in our league but he actually shot a good deal worse last year everywhere besides 3s(for example he was down 8% from 0-3 feet) if he can get those levels back up he'll have no problem breaking 15 PPG. He does have some risks as you know but you got him fairly late.

C:

Capella should definitely benefit from cp3 and considering you got him fairly late for such a solid center you should feel good. He already had a good base with his stats in only 23 mpg(12/8) but he looks great offensively and will get a ton of lobs from cp3/harden who'll keep things open and he's a perfect fit for the pace. He should easily threaten 15/10 but beware of matching like the warriors where they have to go small and it could hamper minutes but he's extremely productive on limited minutes and is only 23. One of my favorite mid round guys.

Adam's is a quality back that is very similar to Rolo(10-11 ppg 6-7 Rebs hood fts) and that consistency is always viable. He has a safe role on a okc team that has questionable front court guys besides him.

Big Poppa:

PG:

Schroeder is the mid range pG most likely to truly break out. He's having the offense run through him and is the number one option. He's a legitimate low 20s ppg guy that has an established floor in asts that's improved his shooting every year. Absolutely love him this year.

Lonzo will be a triple double threat that will be spotty In his scoring(3 one night 29 the next) but his upside is great and they have every incentive to stick with him. He will heavily resemble rondos days in Boston.

SG:

Demar has truly upped his game in the counting stats oin recent years after starting off as a 1 dimensional scorer and I expect another slight increase. Raps are moving away from iso a bit so a slight uptick in asts with his usual great scoring and FT% is what's in store.

Buddy and Hardaway are both similar players in similar situations. I like buddy a bit more as he's a bit more stable and has a better cast of guys to get him open but hardway has SF eligibility and is the second option on his team. Both are quality backups you got at a good price.

SF:

I honestly think Giannis will be the number 1 pick for years,the guy is an absolute monster that looks like LeBron 2.0. He wont continue to score near 35 a night as mil has 2 many options but he'll easily be over 25 and throw in 7 asts and 7 rebounds. Enjoy the ride as we've seen few players with his ability.

Saric is is kinda like Greek Freek lite. He's got a solid all around game that will get better now that he's playing with good talent. It will take him some time to adjust with those guys but he should be a good mid level swing forward.

RHJ has had some nice moments his first couple years but it was his scoring that was holding him back. The move to playing more 4 and his improve should have him in the 12-13 ppg range with quality rebounds. His game is in some ways quite similar to the swing forwards the past decade(Gerald wallace/Kirilenko/smoove/granger etc) as he's only 22 and his numbers last year in limited playing time put him in some nice company.

PF:

Love Kristaps this year as he's by far the best offensive option on an awful team. He'll challenge for an Allstar bid and will easily eclipse the 20 PPG mark,I think talent wise hrs up there with Kat and joking the only issue is he gets nicked up a lot. I'd be wary of him having some games where they slow him down and his shot doesn't fall because who else do they have.

Ingles is similar to your other forwards in that he does a bit of everything and has offensive upside on a team that needs it. He'll be a sneaky glue guy you can plug in with confidence.

C:

Vuce looks incredible In a better system with a clear role. He should have no problem clearing 20/10 and I'm surprised he went at 50. He's pretty much complete at every offensive level and will be a nightmare for teams to cover which is great for him and you.

It's late so I'll finish tomorrow sometime

Who'd you rather have taken? First round was so stacked I don't think you could've gone wrong.

barring injury, I feel very confident in saying G. Alphabet will finish with more fantasy points than harden

Yeah I can't argue that but barring any injury... AD prolly beats them both. Of course injuries will happen and this is moot.

Harden goes 1st because his position. SG is a shallow position. Giannis, and both Pels will outscore him I believe.

The Greek Freak...

I just saw that SG fell off a damn cliff after the top few so I though I wanted the position advantage of having the best one.
