2007-08 Rookie Crop

So the NBA schedules games on Christmas and Easter, but they always, always, ALWAYS avoid the night the NCAA crowns their Men’s Division I champion. Why? “One shining moment…”
Even the biggest NBA die-hards will check out college ball around this time of year. The tourney kicks off draft hype. With players like Derrick Rose, Kevin Love, Brandon Rush etc making it to the Final Four this year, it’s been an excellent time to check out these blue chip prospects. Tyler Hansbrough has been named Player of the Year in quite a few places, but most have his pro potential listed pretty low.
So with no NBA action scheduled for Monday, April 7th, it seems like a good time to reflect on the rookies.

Beyond the Arc: Week 20
Posted by Brandon Haraway Categories: Disses, Editorial, Injuries, Props
I think over the last few weeks, the NBA fan has taken over me and pushed the fantasy fan aside. I mean, if you are a true sports fan, how can you not be on the edge of your seat as we enter the last few weeks of the regular season? At the time I’m writing this (Friday afternoon, before the games) only seven games separate #1 from #9 in the West. And #10 isn’t out of it yet either. This is great.
Have we seen a better race to the finish in any sport? Baseball is always close because so few teams make it. But could a team sitting in 9th today end up in the Finals? It’s not out of the realm of possibility. This year was a HUGE win for the NBA. They stayed away from any controversy (Spygate and steroids anyone?) and pulled off a huge humanitarian effort/All-Star Weekend. What a great year it’s been and kudos to David Stern and all his people in the league office.
Let’s jump into the schedule for the next week (3/10-3/16):
The Fig Cap: Maybe some of this hot action will get KG in the mood, er, groove.

Happy Thanksgiving everybody! With four weeks nearly in the books, I thought it would be a good idea to review what this season’s freshman class has delivered our way thus far.
Rookies are usually the hype of all fantasy drafts, but unlike the other major fantasy sports, you’ll only have a select few that provide consistent value. This season, the word “few” may even be stretching it. Let’s dig in…
The Fig Cap: Seattle is thankful for Kevin Durant. Soon, Oklahoma City will be thankful for…Kevin Durant.

Tribute to Ron Chow and our Experts League Recap
Our second annual Dropping Dimes Experts League had its draft last night. Ron Chow and I are co-managing a team this year. What follows is a log of the draft from our perspective but something more important comes first.
Ron is taking a leave of absence from Dropping Dimes. One of the original four writers here, Ron will be missed. He was a regular contributor to our mock blog and during the season helped out with our rankings and wrote a feature called “Injury Impact.” He says it’s a break, but it feels like when a girl tells you that and it’s actually a break-up. So cheers to you, bro, and good luck with everything.

Dropping Dimes Mock Draft Blog 2007: Round 2, Pick 7 - Josh Smith
Posted by Alvin Lai Categories: H2H, Roto, Southeast Division, Atlanta Hawks, Talent
J-Smoove! Yo, we ain’t got nuthin’ to prove! J-Smoove! Yo, we ain’t got nuthin’ to prove! J-Smoove! Yo, we ain’t got nuthin’ to prove! J-Smoove! Yo, we ain’t got nuthin’ to PROOOOOOOVE.
If you are too young, or too cool to remember Fu-Schnickens, then that’s too bad. That was a pretty hype track way back when. Maybe Atlanta needs to take hold of my riff on it and adopt it as Josh Smith’s theme song.

Stat’s All Folks: Eye On The NBA Draft

It seems that the NBA Finals ended almost quickly as they started, but for all of us NBA draftniks whose teams were not the Spurs or Cavs it’s time to more concretely look forward to next season - it’s NBA Draft time. However, NBA general managers and scouts aren’t the only ones that need to keep an eye out for prospects to draft. Every
fantasy basketball manager would be wise to stay on top of the incoming rooks. Using my NBA Mock Draft over at About.com as a guide, here are the potential fantasy values for ten of the more noteworthy players that you should keep tabs on.
