Sleeper Alert: DeMarcus Nelson
Posted by Scott Sargent Categories: Free Agency, H2H, Props, Rookies, Roto, Sleepers, Golden State Warriors
In the fantasy basketball ring, one thing is for certain: the Golden State Warriors will score a lot of points. For this reason, we had Monta Ellis going in the second or third round of most drafts until he injured himself in that now infamous moped accident. When the accident happened, we tapped former New Jersey Net Marcus Williams as the man to flourish.
But not so fast. Williams has disappointed big time, and has been shelved by Don Nelson as “third string.” So who gets the playing time? DeMarcus Neslon, that’s who.
Fig Cap: What do you get when you combine Marcus Williams with Don Nelson?

So, yeah, this is the debut of this column. I hope everyone likes it, as I’m filling in for Dennis Velasco and his “Fantasy Jump-Off,” because he has decided to take a leave of absence of sorts from the fantasy basketball world for bigger and better things. Best of luck to Dennis, and a big thanks from me and anyone who has ever worked with the guy or read his stuff and used it.
The Fig Cap: Now that is a sweet ‘do.

Dropping Dimes Mock Draft 2007: Round 6, Pick 7 - Al Harrington
Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: H2H, Pacific Division, Golden State Warriors, Roto, Site Features
The Fig Cap: I ROCK!!!
GUEST BLOGGER: Phil Partington of Suite 101 and Fantapedia fame!
Drafted straight out of high school in 1998, it’s been a long road for Al Harrington and he’s more than paid his dues. At 6-9 250lbs, he’s one of the more versatile power forwards in the league. Whether it be a bomb from behind the arc or putting the ball on the floor in penetration to the hoop, Harrington has the type of all-around skills that make him a great fit for Warriors coach Don Nelson’s offensive-oriented style system. What’s more, Harrington reportedly dropped 20 lbs this offseason and coach Don Nelson has touted him as the best player in Golden State’s training camp this season. His motivation more than likely derives from the great playoff run the Warriors had last May.
Round 6, Pick 7: Al Harrington, PF/C, Golden State Warriors

2007-08 Preseason Power Forward Rankings
Posted by Brandon Haraway Categories: H2H, Props, Roto, Site Features, Sleepers, Talent, Trades
Power forward is likely the most important position in fantasy basketball. They can knock out FG%, FT%, rebounds, points, and blocks with only one of your picks. If you draft them right, they can allow you to go cheap at center, the least deep position in fantasy hoops. There is so much depth at the four spot that you can get lucky and take an elite power forward early or wait for one later on. Remember also that the majority of good centers are power forward eligible, adding to the aforementioned depth. However, you’ll probably want to play those F/C players at center, but it’s nice to have options and flexibility while you’re drafting.

Dropping Dimes Mock Draft Blog 2007: Round 1, Pick 4
Posted by Scott Sargent Categories: H2H, Northwest Division, Minnesota Timberwolves, Props, Roto, Site Features
For the second season in a row, I’ve landed the fourth pick in the DroppingDimes Mock Draft Blog. For the second season in a row, I’ll be selecting none other than Kevin Garnett. Last season, it was Dirk Nowitzki that was ahead of the Big Ticket, and this season it is Kobe Bryant.
Granted, Kobe had a knee injury that kept a lot of drafters (present company included) away from him in the top five, but there’s little doubt that he should be taken within the top three this season. And while the aforementioned Nowitzki is still available, I’ll take one of the most dominant big men in the fantasy realm over the past five seasons.
