The likelihood Edwards will play over 70 games makes him more attractive to me than the old timers going between 10-14. Bam's FG%, 20-10, & 2 stocks, and decent FT% for a C works for me 3rd round every season.
when you think bam as a defensive player of the year candidate you thought he would have 3+ stocks. also would love him to take a few more threes by this time of his career
Wouldn't it be responsible to assume Mikal Bridges increases defensive stats from last year? I imagine the knicks bought into him since he had two years to develop as a #1 option in BKLYN. He could be the 2nd-3rd option at times playing for the garden while also focusing heavy on defense. Being that its thibs, the minutes situation is a huge + and his role seems pretty fluid positionally with this team. This year Mikal doesn't have to do everything. He can narrow his focus on a per game basis and highlight his strengths. I'm obviously higher on Mikal and I think he fits really well. You mentioned his FG% could go lower. I'm not convinced that's true. It's an easier shot going into a game with a catch and shoot mentality vs pure self creation. I think the balance of this knicks roster fits extremely well on Mikals developmental timeline. Going from PHX as a pure role player and at times a sleeper offensive option - to a #1 option to now settling right in the middle. I don't see the harm at an adp of 54 when you have a derozan, ayton, brandon miller, pascal siakim to compare as other options in that 50-55 zone. Playoff schedule is a +, coach and role is a +, the NYK being a competitive as a team is a plus, steals being a tough CAT is a +. Siakim may play 29 minutes a night - Brandom Miller may be the third option - ayton likely won't play come play off time - derozan is aging and going into a weird fit. I also see that the picks 50-70 are not massively different so I can see why you may select him later. I believe it's a mistake to let him slide that late personally
@@Pokemarquet like I said in this show, the idea of absolute busts isn’t real. Totally ok getting him there. I wouldn’t. But it take 1% fg rose and 0.3 steals and there we are
Cotton On. It's first store was in Geelong. And it's founder is from Geelong. I don't know why you would want to be a brand ambassador. Maybe the company would support the show?
Hmm, by saying you think Franz's shooting will improve, doesn't that solely justify the rank? He is a very solid scorer, impressive cutter, playmaker, high IQ, winning player. Great defender, whole Olympics was switching to best opposing threats. 22-6-4 with 1 steal seems reasonable expectation, low TO and good percentages (assuming his 3pt% jumps to at least 35%)? Possibly some minute increase as well, defense gets you on the court and so does the contract. Not to mention that with his 3pt% drop off last season, he actually improved overall compared to previous two seasons, averaging more in point leagues.
@joshlloyd Maxey at 25 is high, but Embiid's usage is said to be going down. and they are resting him. Have you heard everything from pre season? Looks like Maxey might be the #1 option, or that Embiid is going to take a step back
Sabonis is a walking triple double. I’d take him in the back end of round 1. I’ve targeted him the past 3 years and he hasn’t disappointed. He’s efficient and has great counting stats.
Hey Josh, in a 10 CAT, 10 teams league with double- double as the 10th Cat i took only 3 Centers (Mark williams, Hartensetin, and Ayton). The rest of my team is Shai, Harden, Booker, Butler, Jalen Williams, Vanvleet, Pool, CJ Mcollum, Simons, and PJ Washington. Should i try and trade on or 2 of the guards for a center? Or should i except punting REBs and DD? Thanks!
i see Coby White with 38 minutes 23 usage, in line with last year, and if i underweight steals, fts and blocks by a fifth (for category variance), I see him in the 50s - how do we differ here?
Hey Josh. Dont think I've seen any Fantrax mentions in these shows. Is it because such a small amount of people play there or because their ADP/ranks are mostly accurate already? Or a little of both?
Brandon Ingram is basically Jimmy Butler without the steals as far as fantasy stats go their numbers are very similar. Jimmy's obviously a better free throw shooter and slightly less turnovers Ingram gets more blocks
I thought Basketball Monster had a tool to show projected value of every player in the Player Rankings Tool. Is that not the case? Looks like it only has past stats?
I think Ant defferred to much to Kat. For respect for him being a long time wolf and former #1 overall pick. I saw Ant as staying with roughly the same fantasy value last season with Kat. Now without i think Ant is free to average 28 ppg.
Hey Josh what do you think of Melton starting ahead of Podz against the Clippers? I know you’re a wavepool guy, you prioritizing him over Podz in the later rounds?
What is your take on OG Anunoby? They gave him a massive contract, so I hope he is going to be pretty involved in the offense, but I don't know. Also, if I could have your input on this trade: Fox, J. Collins and Dosumnu for JJJ, Keegan Murray and Beal. Yahoo points. What would you rather?
You're missing the point entirely. He does them intentionally. He doesn't believe the clickbait titles himself - it's moreso done sarcastically to prove that's what people click on (if that makes sense)

Brook Lopez just shoots 3's now. He's a 7'1" turret. It's like Milwaukee took all the 3's Grayson Allen used to shoot, and gave them to Brook.

I don’t think I said his fg% would go lower. I said I don’t think it will be as high as it was in Phoenix
Also absolutely zero chance of siakam playing 29 minutes
@@LockedOnFantasyBasketball Siakim averaged 31.8 with the pacers in that sample size post trade. I don’t love Rick Carlisle’s rotations for fantasy.
@@LockedOnFantasyBasketball fair shout may have mis heard. Still stand he is a good player to target in my opinion. Appreciate your insights per usual

if Bradley Beal has another nuisance injury season, Durant will have to shoot a lot more shots, which isn't a bad thing.
Agree with a lot of these but not sure why you wouldn’t like Chet at that spot.
Would you take avdija over nesmith and tari eason? Or who would you rather have?

Wiggins probably not starting because of his illness.
But the team is sure to change their lineups a lot throughout the season.

So much clarity after busts.

Hi. I need a stream on when to properly draft all these busts guys please
A bust for eg are last seasons Jordan Poole, JJJ, Kessler, M. Bridges. Surely you know what it entails to be considered a bust.

@joshlloyd Maxey at 25 is high, but Embiid's usage is said to be going down. and they are resting him. Have you heard everything from pre season? Looks like Maxey might be the #1 option, or that Embiid is going to take a step back
Absolutely no way Maxey is the number one option
@@LockedOnFantasyBasketball Embiid might lose usage though. Could very well be a 1a/1b situation
Sabonis played ridiculously good last season. He might find some mojo with DeRozan and rack up a few more stats.
Seems very unlikely
Sabonis is a walking triple double. I’d take him in the back end of round 1. I’ve targeted him the past 3 years and he hasn’t disappointed. He’s efficient and has great counting stats.
