NBA 2K11 Fantasy Draft -- Scouting for Success

[parker987]

I normally take a center or PG first because there aren't many good centers in the NBA and i need a good pg to control the floor

I like taking Josh smith with my 2nd round pick because he is the best defender on the game hes usually there in the top 10 of the second round

Eric Bledsoe is a heck of a player. My association is with the Clippers, and even though he wasn't starting to begin with, he made a good impression, so much so that I traded Baron Davis after just 4 games or so in order for Bledsoe to become my starter.

Since then he's averaged about 18 points per game and has been excellent from behind the arc in addition to his inside scoring prowess.

Another player to recommend is Jason Thompson, the Kings' young Power Forward. He was great for me in last year's game and is excellent on the glass. He is one to develop definitely.

Hey everyone, thought I would explain the rationale for my fantasy draft team. I'm the Magic and am up 3-0 in the first round of the playoffs against the Hawks and finished my regular season 65-17.

PG: Derrick Rose
SG: Jason Richardson
SF: Dorrell Wright
PF: Blake Griffin
C: Chris Bosh

Bench
SF: Chase Budinger
SG: JJ Redick
C: Channing Frye
PF: Taj Gibson
PG: Earl Boykins
PF: Luke Harangody
SF: Rasaul Butler

I decided to trade my third round selection, LaMarcus Aldridge, and my next two first round picks (2011 and 2012) for Blake Griffin and a second rounder in 2012 to create my Big 3 of Rose, Griffin and Bosh. I figured I would go for the known commodities of Rose and Griffin as the foundation of my franchise as opposed to making 2 first round picks in the coming years. The rest of my team, I wanted to be able to spread the floor. With Rose's ability to drive and kick, my team has been deadly. J-Rich is a fantastic 2-guard option, and shoots well off of a double screen, and when he is not on, JJ is in to carry the load from the perimeter. I think Richardson was a steal in the 4th round, and his contract situation is pretty good, as he is locked up for the next three years (I think). I won the MVP with D-Rose, averaging 27.9 and 12.8 assists, and am looking forward to bringing a title to the Amway Center. Contract situation with Rose may be a bit dangerous, but I will release who I have to in order to keep him around for a long time.

Just my two cents. I love reading about other people's philosophies and teams, so great thread. In my opinion, the fantasy draft keeps everything fresh and interesting.
