Thoughts:
- First pick – I didn’t want it, but I had the first pick and of course I hadda take CP3. Usually I like to kill it with bigs, and muscle all the other teams out, so it was difficult this year to build around a PG. So my strategy was to go Big-Big in rounds 2 & 3, and then try to draft players that basically had either PG or C stats.
- Gamebreaker – Taking a huge gamble with Yao this year. I know he’s missed 20+ games past 3 seasons, but I felt like I needed to roll the dice since my 2nd/3rd picks were so much further from my 1st.
- Question marks – Q-Rich, Yi Jianlian, and Pietrus. Can they breakout this year? Can Q-Rich get back to his Phoenix form back under D’Antoni?
- Sleeper category – Steals. CP3 is crazy in steals and that’s also why I drafted Booz. He gets alot for a big man. The PGs I drafted also hold it down, so I think I can win this category outright every week, along with rebounds and blocks.
- Category that will do me in - TOs. Again, when you build a team around a PG, it’s bound to happen.
But can I win it all…? My whole season rests on Yao. I love to take gambles in Fantasy. If Yao stays healthy, I basically have 2 first round picks. If he goes down then my team is mediocre at best. So as my best friend Rich would say in a drunken car ride home from NYC, “Yao, you are my eyes and ears right now!”
How will I do? Vote in the poll and let me know!
