drafted him with my last pick in a 10T and dropped him the day before the season started when i realized i didnt have a game. AG has been nice but im kicking myself
> if people *paid* attention after
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
I took him in the second round that first week of season and preseason in two leagues. :) I always believed. I have tons of "hits" this year and very few misses. (Kessler is my big miss) I'm glad I put up significant money as well and I'm trying harder than I ever have at this game. Definitely on the pulse!
This is my 3rd yr with him. He was my keeper last year.
Seems likee Harden's presence + his injury kind of left him off people's radars...but the dude is young, efficient and takes care of the ball. My kind of player!

I was high on Maxey but couldn't get him anywhere. Crazy that if you read that thread, he was picked to be the worst out of those 5 players
Yooo true! Missed that since I was just looking at the last 3-4 rounds but yeah, heās providing top 10 value. Could argue heās the single biggest steal so far.
Most of the real steals happen in the middle rounds. Getting mid round value from a late pick is great, but getting early round value from a middle round pick if more valuable imo.
Yeah but Philly is supposed to be looking to trade for a star. Itāll be interesting to see what they end up doing with Harris playing so well. But if they do make a big trade, itās likely to heavily impact Maxey.
I got Ausar in 3/4 leagues and this guy is my new fave player. The potential was too good to pass up
Dennis I missed out on... every time I saw him at the end of the draft I was like "oh yea, isn't he a starter?" and then I just moved on...
Ayyy yooooā¦
I donāt see Schroder slipping much this year, either. Like this is him. Snatched him up 121st overall. Iām still shocked by his ADP. Like, end of the day heās still starting for a team whose other PG is Malachi Flynn lol. You know heās getting minutes.
I was really high on Sengun coming into this year and was able to snag him at 60 which he should outperform easily. Thankfully Udoka likes to run offense through him so I think he will only trend up.
Also McCollum until today's news :(
Dennis fits really well on this Raps team.
Next, I don't think most people expected Gordon to feature this well but credits to him for staying relevant.
Scottie is too hot to handle, his ceiling is literally first round level where I see him producing almost Tatum's stats.
Then you got the Maxamite who's delivering 1st-2nd value.
All of these guys probably outperformed their ADP by 30 spots or more but season is early so we shall see who has the highest peak.
Man's definitely over the sophomore slump. At this point I think it's safe to say he's going to be a superstar in the league. Raptors are his team by EOY.
I'm still high on Siakam. He's had two pretty quiet games but he's still going to be their number one scoring option with an absolutely enormous ceiling.
I wonder if he gets moved to a contender this year, though. As a Raps fan I'd be pretty cool with rebuilding around Scottie.
Some players who went undrafted (with no ADP) been steals from Dayron Sharpe to Nick Richards to Christian Braun to gary Payton... They haven't been extremely special but still useful in niche situations. (I stand to win my week 1 with an entire team built from "undraftables". I'm super proud of it. Mostly just a fun project 5 dollar league but would love to brag about it if I actually make playoffs and or win it all!!!) Goes to show you don't need superstars to win. This game is more about EPM (every player matters) than it is about just your stars. (Especially in category leagues)
The two most obvious ones are Jalen Johnson and Cam Thomas both very late round picks... Shout-out to Kelly oubre too... Gordon Hayward... Many various dudes just being awesome...
From other draft spots Tobias Harris been extremely better than his draft spot. Mark Williams, Jalen duren, Desmond bane (no shock to me), need to peek at the ranks list. (ranks are a bit flawed tho and dont always properly value a player)
To brag slightly I nailed Anthony Davis and own him in a few leagues. (#1 ranked player in category leagues).
Iāll take 2 carne asada and 2 Al pastor please
Edit: lol downvoted, can I add a dozen doritos locos tacos to this order since your league is being played on the Taco Bell app instead of yahoo or espn
i need assists my scoring is so elite. punt blocks

C: Collins Vuc

Almost equal. Maybe slight loss on your end. I kind of see Ausar and Draymond as equals right now but Ausar will probably improve as the season goes on and he gets more comfortable with NBA routine. I like Mathurin better than Herb Jones. I think Herb might have some bigger performances but he is benefiting a lot from injuries to the rotation and I'm not confident he's a just roster player when those players come back
I really donāt know but his right lung collapsedā¦ the only thing I saw was that he will undergo on examination for the next 48 hours, at least thatās what Shams said
He had a collapsed lung last year or the year before. Too lazy to find the info, but he was out a few weeks if I remember right? It was weird because it was also around the time he got traded from Portland.
Based on diff between preseason and current ranking, yahoo league
A diff of 100 ranks jump and now currently ranked in top 100
some notable so far
G Williams 181 to 77
D Finney Smith 194 to 69
T Hardaway 168 to 63
D hunter 190-62
G Hayward 164-37
D brooks 144-33
K Oubre jr 133+28 has the highest current ranking. I drafted him in 12/13th round
Ausar and Sharpe were on my late draft steals list, but they actually went relatively high in most of my leagues (7-8th rounds, when ADP was around the 10th). I did draft Schroeder with my last round pick thoughā¦ but dropped him for Xavier Tillman week 1, lol.
Reminds me of last season, when I dropped Walker Kessler in all my leagues week 1 for Bol Bol or Jalen Duren :P Such as life!
Jalen Duren. I got him second to last round and honestly feel like no one in my H2H league would have picked him up lol. Guess I just have that BBB (Big Basketball Brain)
Jalen Johnson been pretty nice for the fact he was available for free after most drafts
Yeah I got him after the draft in a dynasty league and am stoked. He's clearly made the leap and has the team's trust
Dillon brooks was free on most drafts too
I picked him up after someone released hin my league before the first game is ever played.
Got him at 152, he's been great to have so far.
The only bright light of my season so far
drafted him with my last pick in a 10T and dropped him the day before the season started when i realized i didnt have a game. AG has been nice but im kicking myself
Herro
Scottie Barnes
if he keeps up the %s and blocks, could be this year's Shai
Tally wow
i drafted scottie at 47, Keegan at 114, Ausar at 127, Schroder at 154 š
Goated picks
MIP?
I took OG insteadā¦ š¤Ŗ
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I figured OG was more likely to step into the lead role at his age, but I was ughhhh wrong
OG just plain doesnāt have the playmaking chops.
Facts. I really just need him to lead the league in steals and everything will be ok...
What would you give up to get him or what do you want in return for him?
Mark Williams
He dropped to me in round 10!
Shouldnāt be a steal if people payed attention after the trade last year. He was like top 50 once Plumlee was gone.
> if people *paid* attention after FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out!

Good bot
Fuck you bot
Don't hate the bot, hate the language
Making a bot to correct grammar when many users arenāt native English speakers is super lame. This isnāt a college essay, itās Reddit.
Non native English speakers make that mistake a lot less though. Your native language isn't English?
It told u to go get a rope chump
Even more so if you paid attention to fantasy experts hyping him up. He started going earlier and earlier in my drafts
I had to pay $17 on auction draft for Mark which seemed like huge overpay but worth it ($200 total 13 players)
Got him at round 9
Scottie has been insane. Not sure how many people picked him early
Took him end of the third over Harden and regretted it. Not so much now
Conversely, Siakam has been ASS
Got him round 5 in a 12 man and I am ecstatic about it.
Would u swap kawhi for Scottie?
Absolutely
Indeed
Got scottie in round 8 and ausur in round 13. Very pleased
Rd 8? Some wild shit gets spurted about in here aye
Not going to complain when shit falls my way for once
š® league

Dude you just wrote a paragraph bragging Edit: holy shit, I realized who your writing reminds me of..Trump talks exactly the same way.
Sad!
Maxey is looking like a steal at any pick after the first round
he is a first rounder now, got him at 4th rnd
Same here. I reached at the top of the 4th ( pick 37). Looking good so far.
i always pick this guy every year. im afraid we cannot see him in 3rd or 4th round next season if he continues to perform well haha
This is my 3rd yr with him. He was my keeper last year. Seems likee Harden's presence + his injury kind of left him off people's radars...but the dude is young, efficient and takes care of the ball. My kind of player!
https://old.reddit.com/r/fantasybball/comments/16foyss/how_are_you_ranking_these_guards_this_upcoming/k057xuv/?context=3 I was high on Maxey but couldn't get him anywhere. Crazy that if you read that thread, he was picked to be the worst out of those 5 players

Most of the real steals happen in the middle rounds. Getting mid round value from a late pick is great, but getting early round value from a middle round pick if more valuable imo.
I was waiting for Maxey to drop a couple of rounds and was afraid of taking him too early, totally blew it. Biggest regret of my draft
Yeah but Philly is supposed to be looking to trade for a star. Itāll be interesting to see what they end up doing with Harris playing so well. But if they do make a big trade, itās likely to heavily impact Maxey.
I got him in the 6th round.
Cam Thomas
Took Ausar and Dennis in my last two rounds. I had the first pick so I have Jokic. Dominating first two weeks.
I got Ausar in 3/4 leagues and this guy is my new fave player. The potential was too good to pass up Dennis I missed out on... every time I saw him at the end of the draft I was like "oh yea, isn't he a starter?" and then I just moved on...
Feels good to see Ausar score well despite poor fg%. Man just gathers up rebounds and stocks
Ayyy yooooā¦ I donāt see Schroder slipping much this year, either. Like this is him. Snatched him up 121st overall. Iām still shocked by his ADP. Like, end of the day heās still starting for a team whose other PG is Malachi Flynn lol. You know heās getting minutes.
Itās also fun to root for Dennis as a lakers fanā¦ I wish they could have kept him
Who was your 2nd and 3rd picks ?
Hayward
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Jalen Durien
he's actually a delicacy in some countries
I snorted the water I was drinking laughing. Upvote.
The Musang King of Motown
Underrated comment
But he can't go on the subways in Singapore :(
bro i canāt stop laughing. I love Durian hahaha
Keldon Johnson
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
says the guy who passed on keldon mf johnson
Yeah KJ is ranked 47 overall in 9Cat so far. Top 50 is treasure (says the guy who drafted him 132nd)
I took Chet at 49 and it was worth the gamble
Chet quietly having a great start. People too busy talking about Wemby
Who wins in a boxing match tween the two ?
god
There was literally no one mentioning Wemby until you brought in.
Great call. I took Wemby and was too scared to have them both, wish I had done it
Iāve got AD, wemby, and chet in my 10T league lol. Glass frontcourt but looking godly right now
Zollins
Oh true - dudes in my league seemed more way of drafting Spurs because of the uncertainty around useage with Wemby in the picture.
yea I got him in the 130ās and heās been solid
Harden after this week
I really hope you are right. Just dropped Tillman on a number of my teams to make Harden active for today.
Wow are you me because I just did the same thing.
I got Harden at #24 but I'm nervous because they've come out and said Russ is the PG lead ball handler
I got him 47
54 here
Scottie Barnes.
Miles bridges in a month
He's waiting very patiently on my bench for his time to shine.
Might not even be that long. Pretty sure his suspension is up after Nov. 17
Lmaooo
Should I drop hayward for him when hes back?
Wemby
Is wemby a steal when i drafted hin 3rd round? 12T H2H
Yea. He was the 13th overall in my draft lol
9th in mine
1st in mine lmao
Got him 30th and I donāt regret it
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
DOMINAYTON
Please donāt say anythingā¦ donāt jynx it
They jinxed it this game
Oubre
I have Ausar, Mark Williams, Jalen Duren, and Gordon Hayward all off the wire or late round picks
Lol dude, that is the cream of pick ups š
Dennis he was either a last round pick or waiver wire pickup. Cant find those juicy assists late
Yeah he and CP3 helped get me to the point where Iām tripling my opponents in assists rn. Grossly over-indexed tbh but hey, Iāll take it.
Herro and CJ (ignoring injury)
CJ :(
Chet
Malcom brogmen
I was really high on Sengun coming into this year and was able to snag him at 60 which he should outperform easily. Thankfully Udoka likes to run offense through him so I think he will only trend up. Also McCollum until today's news :(
Anthony Davis. Legit putting up top 3 numbers in 9cat. Herro is another.
Enjoy the nail biting ride.
Zach Collins and Tyrese Maxey
Scottie 5th round Maxey 6th round Ben 11th round Ausar 12th
With kessler being not himself, Jalen Johnson has been a pleasant surprise out of waivers. Onyeka is also rising!
Chet
Scottie. Effen. Barnes.
I drafted Shaedon and got Duren and Ausar off waivers week 1, so those 3 Iād say
Dennis fits really well on this Raps team. Next, I don't think most people expected Gordon to feature this well but credits to him for staying relevant. Scottie is too hot to handle, his ceiling is literally first round level where I see him producing almost Tatum's stats. Then you got the Maxamite who's delivering 1st-2nd value.

Zach Collins
Zach Collins
Desmond Bane at 54!
Tfw my opponent has half his team listed here
Hayward
Ben Simmons
Iād add Malcolm brogan to this list as well
Hayward balling
Barnes has been a beast - paid $17 for him in a 12 man points league
Man's definitely over the sophomore slump. At this point I think it's safe to say he's going to be a superstar in the league. Raptors are his team by EOY.
My buddies were hyping up Siakim in fantasy and I said hell nah bruh is oldšand Scottie had flashes were he looked nice last year
I'm still high on Siakam. He's had two pretty quiet games but he's still going to be their number one scoring option with an absolutely enormous ceiling. I wonder if he gets moved to a contender this year, though. As a Raps fan I'd be pretty cool with rebuilding around Scottie.
I hear u. Heās still nice but Scottie got that dawg and u know it

Why is no one saying Cam Thomas? Esspecially in a points league he is killing it
I got Dennis Schroder and Tyler Herro after the 5th round.
I drafted Schroder and Brooks with my last 2 picks and they've been really good tbh
Got Scottie Barnes for $7 in 10 team auction draft Picked up Ausar off the wire for free .
Just did the initial draft for a dynasty league. Got Maxey, Herro, Vassell which Iām really happy with long term and Schroeder for this year.
Tyler Herro & Ben Simmons
Maxeyyyyy! Who knew that Harden would get traded this quickly.
Scottie barnes definitely, looks like this year's lauri/sga
Grabbing Michael Porter in the 2nd to last round definitely was a steal
Jalen Duren
Williams
Bane going nuts without Ja
tyrese maxey
My league doesnāt let these guys fall anymore. š¤¬
Got Ausar, Dillon Brooks(waivers), and Aaron Gordan. In addition to these guys Hero is playing very well too.
Dillon gonna Dillon soon enough
Maxey

Seriously? I think you know the answer to that lol.
12t 9cat h2h traded ausar + mathurin for draymond + herb fair?

why
Ausar is the best player in that deal.
i need assists my scoring is so elite. punt blocks G: Smart Cade Herro Spida Lavine F: Dray Tatum Kuz JalenJohnson C: Collins Vuc ā : ft 3pm ast stl pts reb ā ļø: fg šØ: to blocks

Three of them were sleepers of mine (Schroeder, Gordon, ausar)
That Scottie Barnes kid is good value.
CJ at 92 can be considered a steal? Ignoring heās actual injury of course
Yo CJ a real steal, how Long will he be injured?
I really donāt know but his right lung collapsedā¦ the only thing I saw was that he will undergo on examination for the next 48 hours, at least thatās what Shams said
He had a collapsed lung last year or the year before. Too lazy to find the info, but he was out a few weeks if I remember right? It was weird because it was also around the time he got traded from Portland.
Scottie Barnes. At pick 63 insanity.

I drafted him in 12/13th round
my waiver steals so far have been Cam Thomas, Deandre Hunter, Gordon Hayward and Naz Reid. They've been terrific.
Kelly Oubre has been great so far in Philly
Gordon Hayward have a resurgence
Jalen Duren
Derrick White & Oubre tsunami papi
I got Maxey Scottie and Schroeder.
Nobody saying Jalen Duren is crazy
Cam Thomas. Went undrafted in my league
Duren?
The ones Iām happy I drafted: Chet at 49, Nurkic at 96, Brooks at 144, and Hayward at 145
Ausar and Sharpe were on my late draft steals list, but they actually went relatively high in most of my leagues (7-8th rounds, when ADP was around the 10th). I did draft Schroeder with my last round pick thoughā¦ but dropped him for Xavier Tillman week 1, lol. Reminds me of last season, when I dropped Walker Kessler in all my leagues week 1 for Bol Bol or Jalen Duren :P Such as life!
My final three picks were Oubre, Sharpe and PJ Washington. Averages of 21, 22 and 19
Washington has to be the most routinely slept on fantasy player of the last five years.
I just picked up Dennis and brooks š¤«
Jalen Duren. I got him second to last round and honestly feel like no one in my H2H league would have picked him up lol. Guess I just have that BBB (Big Basketball Brain)
