Dropping Dimes Mock Draft - Round 4, Pick 9: Mo Williams
Posted by Scott Sargent Categories: H2H, Roto, Site Features, Talent, Cleveland Cavaliers
With two forwards and a center already supporting this roster, it was time to address the guard position. The good part about the current make-up of this team is that Rashard Lewis and Antawn Jamison can rack up small-ball statistics, so you are not limited in where you can go with the fourth round pick.
With that said, the tier of Chauncey Billups and Jose Calderon are off of the board. With there being a slew of other options that may be a bit to risky to take at this slot, I have no problems “settling” for…

Dropping Dimes Mock Draft: Round 3, Pick 4 - Antawn Jamison
Posted by Alvin Lai Categories: H2H, Site Features, Southeast Division, Washington Wizards, Talent
Drafting in the four spot has so far yielded a top flight center Amare Stoudemire and Rashard Lewis, a SF/PF-eligible player who can fill it up from outside while strengthening the percentages. Options in the third round are to either add a point guard, or find another PF-eligible player who can score, rebound, and hit the trey. Teamed with ‘Shard, this player helps make this fantasy team’s forward spots a tough check when it comes to moneyballs.

Dropping Dimes Mock Draft: Round 2, Pick 9 - Rashard Lewis

So…how best to maximize having Amare Stoudemire on your fantasy team? As the saying goes, there is more than one way to skin a cat. With arguably the best prototypical fantasy big man in tow (and center-eligible, at that), one option would be to choose a forward who can complement Amare’s decent shooting, but can also fill in some of the small ball stats.
Rashard Lewis is certainly a roto stud. How does he stack up in a head-to-head league?

Elton Brand signed his big contract with Philadelphia earlier in the week, and now must suit up for quarter-final two-on-two basketball! It might not be Federer vs. Nadal in the Wimbledon Final, but an interesting duo awaits Mr. Brand Name.

The next couple of games in our tourney are going up a bit early due to me having Father’s Day commitments tomorrow. To all the dads and families out there, have a wonderful day. Just finished watching Tiger Woods wrap up his third round…great stuff. Good luck tomorrow, Tiger.
The Celtics meeting the Lakers again in the Finals was supposed to wax nostalgia non-stop, but the ball has been pretty flat and ugly. With the Lakers blowing that huge lead in Game 4, the Celtics have a chance to clinch the series. The Lakers’ homecourt has been taken away before; Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls won three straight at the Forum to win their first championship back in 1991. I have heard the notion that MJ would never have let his team blow that lead in the Finals, and I agree. The Kobe to MJ comparisons will be cooled for a while. Here’s hoping the Lakers regroup and extend the series.
Searched the archives and found a picture of Dwyane Wade in an old Miami Heat uniform. Flash is in action this week.

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.

Dropping Dimes on the Daily – November 20, 2007
Posted by Matt Satten Categories: Disses, Editorial, Props, Roto, Site Features, Waiver Pick Ups
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: Yeah, Bronny is pretty fly, huh?
BY THE DD BLOGGER FORMERLY KNOWN AS RON CHOW
A small forward is often referred to as a “swing man” in basketball. In the fantasy world, small forwards are often overlooked in favor of point guards and centers because of roster slot considerations. Those positions tend to have less top-tier talent to build a fantasy team around. Still, it is a certainty that a quality small forward is needed to make a run for a league championship. These types of players can “swing” the fantasy scales in your favor.

Mock Draft Central Fantasy Basketball Experts League

The Fig Cap: “I fell to fourth? FOURTH?!?!”
So, somehow, this little fantasy basketball blog of ours was able to get into this group of experts for some mocking. We feel we held our own and were happy to join the banter as the draft moved along. NOTE: Matt Buser made a comment along the lines of Zach Randolph and Eddy Curry bringing the Knicks back to prominence. As a realistic Knicks fan I took umbrage… apparently, I was the only one that didn’t get that Buser was kidding. Check out his Curry Line. Sometimes I take my Knicks TOO seriously. I’m such a dummy.
Anyway, you’ll also see Sarge in the mock repping Sports Grumblings, which you should definitely check out AFTER DroppingDimes.com of course. In any case, since Sarge knows my tendencies (Take it easy out there… I meant draft tendencies), he was actually predicting some of my picks in the draft chat. I’m convinced he’s my fantasy sports hetero-lifemate.
Here’s the rest of the experts that participated in the draft in selecting order…
