Boozer is a good fit for small ball teams, and getting him in the 3rd round is somewhat redonk for a 14-team league. Troy Murphy is also The Money for small ball teams. Maybe you can trade Garnett for a small ball first rounder? Not sure if there’s a question in there, but with the unusual dimensions for your league, that looks like a pretty good lineup.

I got 7th pick. After KG, I accidentally picked up Chauncey (I was gonna go big ball), so I was forced to go small ball. I have a few questionable pickups (Boozer specifically), and I'm not sure how this will all turn out for me, but I hope for the best.

When drafting my teams, I tend to ignore TOs, though, since it's a category I've never been able to control even when I've tried.

I'm also wondering if you've factored TOs into your rankings. Thanks for the help. Does your league include TOs as a category? I’m also wondering if you’ve factored TOs into your rankings.

I did such a poor job in a baseball league I think it's to my advantage to let the computer pick the best fantasy players. Because the best player doesn't always translate to being the best fantasy player. We’re still waiting to do our draft, I may set mine to auto.

And I gotta say, I ended up with Jamal Crawford in the 7th in my keeper league, and you'd better hope he blows up under D'Antoni. People are scared off from him because of the Isiah/Knicks things, and he's not gonna shake the rep as a streaky shooter, no matter how many assists he averages. I've offered him in good trade packages (I want rebounds from an SG for my team) and the silence has been deafening. Sorry I have to autodraft tonight, felllas.

Not exactly Big Ball kind of guys those two. @sean, if your new name is Rambaldi, I'll know. Also to cross off the list: Dixon, Sloan, Jack Bristow. @PitP, that’s a good point, but if I’d taken KG in the first, I don’t think I would have picked Pierce or Allen.
