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 Two-on-Two Tourney: Round 1, Games 11 and 12
Posted by Scott Sargent Categories: H2H, NBA Playoffs, Props, Site Features, Street Ball, Talent
I come to you not even 48 hours after my beloved Cavs have been bounced from the playoffs. Paul Pierce, well played. Cleveland supporting cast, I wish I could stay the same. There’s a reason that LeBron James is the only Cavalier in this tournament. All I have to say is that Danny Ferry better get to work.
With that said, last week brought us a showcase of guard talent. This week takes a slightly different twist, bringing us a truckload of big men. While two of them are pictured to the right, there are a few more that will deserve some consideration.
Let’s cut to the chase and get on with this week’s match-ups.

To the three voters for the All-NBA team that did not name Chris Paul to the first team; you need to seriously have your head examined. Two voters picked Steve Nash instead and one vote went to Tracy McGrady. Come on, people! To pick Nash ahead of Paul means you have not watched ball since last season. The Hornets had a better record, Paul did more with less established talent around him, not to mention he had superior overall stats. As for McGrady, I guess it was a nod to the Rockets’ winning streak.
Nash was in action last week. Does he get to move on? Paul suits up this week, so check out who we have him partnered with? And the picture gives you a preview of who else is part of our hype match-ups this week!

Cause I totally blew it with not getting up a Daily yesterday, I’m going extra big with tonight’s version. Please accept this humble offering with my sincere apologies and a pledge to do better next time. I suddenly feel like Tony Kornheiser. Um, yeah.
Anyway, a new name in fantasyland you’ll read about after the jump is this dude on the right, Jared Dudley. He now starts for Charlotte. He’s fun to watch. More importantly, his StatTracker line lighting up is fun to watch as well. Yeah, I know, but that’s what gets me excited these days.
The Fig Cap: I don’t have to wear warm-ups at the tip anymore!

Despite the Raptors/Pistons game starting in the middle of the day, the moon was shining brightly. Jamario Moon that is. In case you’re late to the Moon party, the undrafted 27-year-old rookie has started the Raptors last eight games at small forward and his athletic play is getting him noticed. Yesterday, the 6-8 forward erupted for the best line of his brief NBA career with 15 points, 9 boards, 3 steals and 6 blocks in the matinee victory. More info abou this Good Moon Rising after the jump.
The Fig Cap: His vertical leap is beyond all measurement. Don’t question it!

The Daily finds what’s shiny each night, brushes off the dirt to reveal any blemishes and then makes a fair assesment in regards to certain players’ fantasy values.
Look at that man on the right. He looks like a natural. He’s so tall, so athletic and oozes potential the way Gilbert Arenas oozes cockiness. He dropped 24 points in 24 minutes last night and he’s center eligible. Sounds like you should act swiftly, right? Not if you know how Swift acts. Only a sucka would pick him up. And you’re not a sucka.
The Fig Cap: “I’m 100 Percent Pure Fool’s Gold”

Yeah, so Saturday night wasn’t as fantasy jam-packed as Friday night. Big deal. It’s not every night we see multiple 20-rebound games. Still, a few guys stayed hot and went off last night.
The Fig Cap: “Yeah, hey Raja, can you miss about 75 more games? Thanks bud.”
