Dropping Dimes Mock Draft: Round 4, Pick 10 - Rasheed Wallace
Posted by Scott Sargent Categories: H2H, Site Features, Talent, Detroit Pistons
To say that this team is stacked with scoring and solid percentages is a complete understatement. Obviously, few teams will be able to nab Deron Williams in the third round with his recent ascent up draft boards, but regardless. With three solid additions throughout the beginning of the draft, round four is now a time where we have to add a big man. I would hate to add one that would drag down the solid percentages that we already have; and if I could do so while adding some big-ball stats, even better.
The tenth pick in the fourth round is a great place to take a player who can do just that.

Dropping Dimes Mock Draft: Round 3, Pick 3 - Deron Williams
Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: H2H, Northwest Division, Utah Jazz, Props, Site Features
The Fig Cap: “Yeah… Chris Paul, who?”
Okay, Deron Williams of the Utah Jazz isn’t exactly to the point of mocking Chris Paul, arguably the first overall fantasy basketball pick, of the New Orleans Hornets, but he is more than holding his own. Unfortunately, for Raymond Felton, the same cannot be said of him. For those of you that don’t remember the 2005 NBA Draft, Williams was drafted third overall, Paul fourth overall, and Felton fifth overall. While Felton is still trying to relatively find his way in the NBA, Paul and Williams are perennial All-Star caliber players and the latter should be climbing up fantasy basketball drafts as the season gets closer. How many potential 20-10 players are there in the NBA? Only several, and Williams is one.

Dropping Dimes Mock Draft: Round 2, Pick 10 - David West

When selecting at the end of the second round, not only do you get to pair this person with a relative stud in the league, but this is also where you capitalize on the settings on which your league is constructed. With Kobe Bryant falling to third overall, this team already has a solid foundation in… well, all things Kobe.
With this league being of the head-to-head variety, adding a well-rounded big is ideal. One that will help build off of the scoring foundation while adding some boards and not killing any of your percentages. I think I have just the man for the job…

Dropping Dimes Two-on-Two Tourney: Round 1, Games 3 and 4
Posted by Alvin Lai Categories: H2H, Site Features, Street Ball, Talent, Cleveland Cavaliers, Orlando Magic, Washington Wizards, Los Angeles Clippers
LBJ and his Cavs got the job done against the Washington Wizards in game one of their first round series. Confidence should be admired, but adding fuel to the fire against someone like LeBron seems like risky business. Just ask Chris Bosh’s girlfriend.
Let’s recap the opening two games and set up the two-on-two matches for the upcoming week.

Our one-on-one tourney was a blast to conduct last year and you can click on the link to check it out. Spoiler alert! The link takes you to the winner being crowned and the page has links to all of the match-ups.
So what better way to follow that up but to double the pleasure, double the fun and make it a two-on-two tourney, people! G’yeah! There are only four more days before the regular season comes to a close. Thankfully us hoopheads have two months of playoff action to look forward to, but fantasy play dies down in favor of baseball, golf and barbeque unless you and your buddies set up a playoff pool. So check back every Sunday and give us your ten cents for the match-ups we set up for you! Who will be the “Dynamic Duo” when all is said and done?

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 2007: Round 6, Pick 2 - David West
Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: Editorial, H2H, Props, Roto, Site Features, Southwest Division, New Orleans Hornets, Talent
The Fig Cap: “Thanks for the love DD… you’re making me so goofy right now.” Yeah, that’s how we roll.
West is one of the more underrated players in the NBA for a few reasons: 1) He plays for the Hornets, a historically “ugh” team, although their future is looking good, 2) He plays with Chris Paul, which isn’t a bad thing at all, especially when you’re on the receiving end of a Paul pass, but it doesn’t help your recognizability factor, and 3) He plays in the Western Conference, which is full of some pretty good forwards. However, in the fantasy game, all we care about is production, right? Well, West will keep you happy and put up some very good numbers for your team, especially this much later in a draft. We’re talking the ultimate underrated PF value pick. Yeah, I said it… okay, if you get him in the mid-rounds. If you go for West too early because I’m telling you how good he is, well, that will make him overrated, right?

Dropping Dimes Mock Draft 2007: Round 4, Pick 10 - Tyson Chandler
Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: H2H, Props, Roto, Site Features, Southwest Division, New Orleans Hornets, Talent
The Fig Cap: “You want some? YOU WANT SOME?!?! Come get it, Gary Coleman!”
I’ve said this many times before and I’ll say it again, several times throughout this post if I have to, but you do not draft Tyson Chandler because he has a cool name; you draft him for his free-throw percentage… I’m obviously kidding. So, what do you draft him for? Check it out after the jump.
