Dropping Dimes Mock Draft 2007: Round 5, Pick 7 - Manu Ginobili

The Fig Cap: I’m pointing to Doug Christie’s wife!
If only this guy played more than 28 minutes a night. Of course, that would mean not being on the Spurs, and not having those rings, and not garnering the accolades for his hustle, etc. Plus even with less playing time, last year especially this guy was a roto monster.
Anyone living outside the San Antonio is not a Spurs fan. We as a collective try to turn our noses at their team success. Tired of the Mr. Eva Longoria talk, or the “boring” excellence of Tim Duncan, one of the all-time best? Even you, the most staunch anti-Spurs guy can appreciate this player’s game.

Round 5, Pick 10: Manu Ginobili, SG, San Antonio Spurs
Fantasy offseasons are all about pegging breakout players from year-to-year. After a stellar campaign two seasons ago, Manu Ginobili was seen going in the second and early third rounds last season. This level of draft position left many owners disappointed after there was an unexpected drop in Ginobili’s minutes, to less than 30 a game (27.9). This decrease in minutes attributed to a decrease across the board in nearly all fantasy categories… for the regular season.
Now, as we look at how Ginobili was used in the postseason, we saw an increase to 35 minutes a game against the Mavericks, including a foul-plagued 27 minute contest. And how did he respond when given the floor time?
