Re: **Fantasy Basketball Advice Thread**
I am suprised people are saying Curry has more value. Curry turns the ball over way more, does not pass at all, rebounds less and does not block. Shaq turns over less, passes, rebounds more and blocks a huge ammount when playing. He also gets the occasional steal which Curry does not. I would certainly grab Shaq over Curry especially with Zach in town and Morris developing.

Re: **Fantasy Basketball Advice Thread**
the FT% is a big issue, as is the fact that he'll likely play 50-60 games. that lost production hurts in H2H

After the draft, somebody offered me a straight up trade of Chris Paul for Barbosa ... Is this is a no-brainer and I should just take it before he changes his mind? [/ QUOTE ] Yes. |

He is likely to miss games yes, but for the first time in forever he is healthy to start the year, i think that is a pretty good sign. |

Re: **Fantasy Basketball Advice Thread**
Check the depth charts. Focus on guys who average a steal and a block per game.

It seems to me that it would way-devalue rebounds and assists though. Also the 2pt for a 3pointer(plus the 3 points you get for the points) make 3 point shooters huge, especially if they can contribute in blocks/steals as well. And the lack of percentages change things a ton as well. I would think that this system greatly favors guys like Artest, Josh Smith, Rafer Alston, Baron Davis, Arenas, Iverson, Jason Richardson, Ray Allen, Rasheed Wallace, Mike Miller, etc. These types of players are much more valuable than usual. Meanwhile great percentage guys or guys that rack up assists and rebounds like Nash, Dirk, Yao, Boozer, KG, David Lee, etc. aren't as valuable as usual. 106,112 and counting |
