My Fantasy Basketball Team

I know it's weird to have a fantasy draft 2 weeks into the NBA season, but the league wasn't setup until 4 days ago. On the flip side, the fans drafted better and didn't take chances on getting mediocre guys too early.

I drafted last in the first round as I was position #12 out of 12 total teams. There goes my dreams of drafting "The Chosen One". And "The Matrix". And "Agent Zero". And "The Truth". And ...

The first player taken in this leagues was ... Chris Bosh! Are you kidding me? Chris Bosh?!!!? At least half the participants laughed uncontrollably on the chat screen. I thought to myself - "Oh god, I'm playing with 12 year olds". But, control was re-established when my younger brother took LeBron as the #2 pick. And then KG, Marion, and Wade went.

Anyways, here's my team. The players listed weren't necessarily in the order drafted. Each team had to select 13 players.

  1. Chris Paul (Hornets)
  2. Yao Ming (Rockets)
  3. Kevin Martin (Kings)
  4. Leandro Barbosa (Suns)
  5. Caron Butler (Wizards)
  6. Antonio Daniels (Wizards)
  7. Carmelo Anthony (Nuggets)
  8. Andrew Bogut (Bucks)
  9. Stephen Jackson (Pacers)
  10. Al Harrington (Pacers)
  11. Rudy Gay (Grizzlies)
  12. Nened Krstic (Nets)
  13. Gerald Wallace (Bobcats)

I think my team has a lot of balance statistically. Hopefully, this will help me battle "superstar-heavy" teams in the league. There were 2 players that I wanted to draft but didn't: Sebastian "Bassy" Telfair (Celtics) and Jorge Garbajosa (Raptors). I do get #1 priority in waivers (because I drafted last), so I'm in good shape.
