How'd I do?

Not a fan of your final two picks but strong otherwise. Andre Miller at #94 is a borderline steal. Your roster is somewhat similar to the one I drafted this morning:

1. (2) L. James SF
2. (23) J. O'Neal PF,C
3. (26) B. Diaw PF,C
4. (47) K. Hinrich PG,SG
5. (50) R. Felton PG
6. (71) J. Howard SG,SF
7. (74) J. Nelson PG
8. (95) C. Wilcox PF,C
9. (98) D. Granger SF,PF
10. (119) M. Dunleavy SF
11. (122) N. Mohammed C
12. (143) M. Williams PG

What do y'all think? Marion went #1. My only concern at this point is depth at SG (although we only need to start one).

10th round Darko is the steal of the century!

Am I the only one who hates taking Jermaine O'Neal with an overall low 20s pick? Maybe I'm undervaluing him, but I wouldn't take him til ~40s overall.

The C eligibility really bumps him up, imo. At my second pick, I'm looking at Cs or PGs with the best value.

This may be a matter of opinion, but I think Marion is clearly the top fantasy player in any league that includes TOs.

FG% Marion > Lebron
FT% Marion > Lebron
3PM Lebron > Marion
REB Marion >> Lebron
AST Lebron >> Marion
STL Marion > Lebron
BLK Marion >> Lebron
TO Marion >> Lebron
PTS Lebron > Marion

Marion is head and shoulders the top rated player in last year's ESPN player rater and that doesn't even include turnovers:

31PG is >>>>> over 21PG. PLus factor in that Lebron is younger and reaching his peak and that Amare is coming back. All of that means Lebron will be better overall.

Well I'm sure most people would agree with you and that I am in the minority in preferring Marion. But Lebron really was not even in the same echelon as Marion last year. I was happy to pick him up with the third pick in my draft. You can keep Lebron. More Marion for me. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Also here is the Yahoo Fantasy analyst Matt Buser's ranking of SF's for the coming year. He also ranks Marion number 1:

I'm not buying Marion #1 overall. Regardless, Lebron, KG, and Marion are all the top 3 picks.

Just a general FBB question, didn't want to create a new thread.

I've been offered Deron Williams and Channing Frye for Krstic and Kenyon Martin after telling the owner I like Deron a lot. Is this a definite accept? I don't like Frye too much, but it seems like this is a good trade for me...
