Fantasy nba draft help?

Question

althought yahoo nba fantasy isnt up and running yet, my friends and i are conducting a live draft tomorrow, and im a bit worried about my position in the draft.

i have the 8th pick in the draft and here are projected picks based on talk between my friends

(keep in mind the only stats we're using in this league are pts/ast/boards/stl/blocks)

1.cp3

2.lebron

3.kobe/dwight

4.amare stoudemire

5.a first year fantasy player, we arent sure (hopefully something bad!)

6. kobe/dwight (if one of them happen to slip) otherwise d-wade

7.a first year fantasy player, we arent sure (hopefully something bad!)

8. me..need help

9. most likely camby

10. bdiddy/jsmith

so thats the rundown

im considering:

jsmith though he does seem like quite a reach, was a defensive dynamo though

deron williams: decent scorer/good distributer, assists are MEH

bdiddy: thoughts on him in LA? Can He potentially put up better numbers than deron?

marion: drafted him first round for past 3 years, dunno how the situation will look with beasley/marion/haslem all qualifying for pf though

should i consider anyone else? if not, who should i pick from the 4 i have in mind?

your input is appreciated!

Answer 1

I like Josh Smith he is a good fantasy player and will get you a good amount of blks rebs and fairly good points.  Also, I like Kevin Garnett he always puts up double doubles and is a solid fantasy player.  I wouldn't go with Davis, with a new team plus there is always a worry about him getting injured again.  You never know who may fall to you, it's possible Dwight kobe or amare will fall to you, so just wait and see and weigh your options.

Answer 2

What about Dirk if he drops that low?
