I'm "meh" on my draft. I didn't decide on Howard/Wade/Curry until literally my pick. I was praying in every way imaginable for Durant to drop to #2, but knew it wasn't going to happen. Wade's injury risks scared me, and Lee/Howard would have made my frontcourt a rebounding behemoth, he's an overrated (albeit still very good) fantasy player. Curry's post all-star stat lines last year (22.1 ppg, 7.7 apg, 2.7 threes made at 44%) make me drool, enough so that even playing for Golden State didn't scare me away. I'm hoping he eventually gets dual-guard status.
After that, I've got a lot of risks. Collison was great last year as a starter, but I'm relying on 2 second year players quite a bit, and he wasn't nearly as good in the preseason, and New Orleans was tailor made for a point guard of his ilk. I'm not expecting him reproducing last years 18/9 starters numbers. Gallinari I'm not in love with, but I really needed a wing, and him, curry, and collison should lock up three's for me fairly well, and he actually got to the line last year and rebounded at an almost-acceptable clip. Oden was a technical mistake after my browser locked up. I did want Oden, just about 3 rounds later. Gordon, Deng, McGee and Cousins I was happy with. I was more happy with Bellini before the Bayless trade when marco was the starting SG, I think I could regret that pick quite a bit. Williams could be solid, if he gets enough minutes, for that late. speights will be dropped, and daye could as well if he doesn't get PT early.
Overall, I'd probably rate my draft a B-/C+. I think I should be able to challenge for three's (made and %) every week. I think I've given up free throws every week. Blocks and rebounds are largely dependent on McGee and Oden, whether either of them play and play consistently, but I'm worried about those two cats as well. Could use another PF or 2, and less PG's, more than slightly unbalanced, although I don't worry about balance this early in the season.
