Okay people. Who's the number one pick? I need someone to tell me what to do. I've never, EVER had a #1 before.

Kwame Brown...he can play both PF & C. And as a Laker I'm sure he will put up fantastic numbers. Just look who is coach is this year.

A former real life #1 going #1 in fantasy, I like the symmetry Lurker, but I'll do you one better.
JAHIDI WHITE baby!!
It's gonna be all Jahidi, all the time this year. Dunks on people's forehead, spin post moves right into tomahauk jams. Pull up baseline jumpers, nuthin' but twine. Pullin' down caroms, giving people the buis-nass. Shot rejectin' and don't you ever bring it in to Jahidi's house AGAIN. At a svelt 395 pounds, watchout. :hotbounce:

Lol.
In all seriousness, I hadn't yet really looked at the rosters.
*quick scan*
Peja and Ray Allen would seem obvious choices, but would make for an overcrowded swingman rotation.

Well, if we are going to be serious about this:
Kidd
Arenas
Baron Davis
Peja
Ray Allen
Ben Wallace
These would all be acceptable first picks IMO.

Wow I wish I was playing Fantasy Basketball with you guys now...
Uhh where is Shaq, Lebron James, Tim Duncan, Kobe Bryant, Nash???
Ray Allen?!?! The guy doesnt rack up rebounds or assists.

Those guys were all retained as keepers. They aren't available in the draft.

Given Ted's team, I know who my first pick would be: Jason Kidd. It's a little bit of a risk, but essentially, with Kidd, Marion, and James, you've got three players who put up a wide variety of numbers across the board. That leaves you free to pursue a lot of different directions later in the draft.
Then again, I say that because I believe that guard play wins this league. If you can take assists, steals, 3ptrs., 3pt%, and FT% - guard categories, all you need is one more category. With Kidd, Marion, and James, taking rebounds could be that category, and you're not far out of the race in scoring.
However, Kidd is an older player, and in a keeper league, that can hurt.
And also, the one category I (personally) always seem to REALLY want to win, and consequently gear my teams up to do well in that category, is ASSISTS.
The problem Ted is facing though is that there are limited big men available later on, and after grabbing Kidd, he needs at least one or two more solid big men. There are tons of 1's, 2's, and 3's out there who are solid players - but not that many 4's and 5's. All the best 4's and 5's have been kept.
That said, though, there are a few gems in the rough out there at the big positions. If a few of them come through....
I like Ted's position.
Also - Derek - on your keeper list, Paul Pierce has now exhausted his eligibility. He was kept last year. That's 15 of the 24 kept players that will be in the draft next year. So we're already over half-way to the point we'd expect. At steady-state, there'll be an average of 8 top-level players in the draft every year.

Oops. I even have him listed as being kept by cord both times.
