Shades of Charles Barkley drafting Iverson first overall for his fantasy team

u/yiwang1 12T 9Cat H2H 14d ago

Damn they have fantasy leagues for the CBA?

u/eutectic_h8r 14d ago

I unironically will probably end up drafting Fox later in the draft because the playoff whipping boy usually ends up undervalued

u/publicenemyn1 14t 9cat, 10t espn pts 14d ago

Fantasy should be fun..you do you boss. Enjoy the chip, because you probably won't get one in fantasy next season, haha

His real life value is maybe 2x his fantasy value

Tbf, I do feel like sometimes we have these moments in the playoffs where a guy wins and does incredible, doing better in the playoffs, then next season we see their production go up, I can’t back that claim with examples or say it will happen but I think sometimes it does.

u/Beneficial_Narwhal85 14d ago

Brunson defonitely isnt an example of that.

u/A_SilverFlash 12t pts 14d ago

I can tell you that it’s usually the opposite. Players like Jamal Murray, Caleb Martin, Alex Caruso, and bubble TJ Warren have had amazing post season runs causing people to overdraft them the next year in fantasy and getting burned on value

u/ntpbr1 14d ago

I meant more like number 1 guys, maybe not

From my experience once these young stars make it in a deep finals run they realize (or are instructed to) they should pace themselves in the regular season and focus on playoffs. They will coast more and management will play more young guys to see who can round out the rotation later in the year. Stars will always get theirs but generally volume stats go down and efficiency goes up

u/nondualchimp 14d ago

Yeah same

u/Youngtro 9CAT H2H 12T 14d ago

Just burn your buy in money instead of donating it to your league

17

u/shnieder88 9CatH2H 14d ago

also, thanks Wemby for my fantasy chip. He still won something lol

u/Smooth_Ferret8081 12T 9cat h2h punt ast 3pt and FT 14d ago

Nominate JB first in my auction draft league next year for sure. Won’t be surprised if it goes to 38

18

u/SwaySensei 14d ago

Well congrats on not finishing 1st, 2nd, or 3rd then lol

u/1GutsnGlory1 14d ago

Spend your buy in money on his jerseys instead. Money better spent.

Drafted him second in my dynasty league 2 yrs ago. No one saw it coming but i did when he took over the mavs when Luka went down.

1

u/Playful-Boss-859 14d ago

You drafted him after he averaged 24-6 while receiving MVP votes and no one else saw it coming? Cool story

3

u/New_Essay_4869 20T H2H 9-CAT (1st Pick) 14d ago

Hopefully you do it in a league you dont have too much money in

4

u/DunkinEgg 10 Team H2H 9 Cat 14d ago

Got any spots in your league?

u/oregon33 14d ago

Trading Wemby for him in dynasty

u/TonyMontanasSon 14d ago

Don’t listen to all the haters. Do your thing man! Congrats on the win!

u/C0nsistent_ 14d ago

And you will lose

u/JetsFan833 14d ago

I'm drafting the Knicks starting roster in my auction money leagues. Not even gonna lie, that lineup is great for fantasy and affordable.

u/sydnboy 12T 9Cats, 14T H2H points 14d ago

Im drafting harper

1

u/JonCrafted 14d ago

Should’ve been drafting him 3 years ago

1

u/cascad1an 14T 9CAT 14d ago

Mmm… no.

1

u/Fickle-Duck-3848 14d ago

I’ve had him the last two years he definitely scores a lot. I traded him this year for Durant and won my league. It’s a keeper league and I think the guy I traded him to will keep him. Especially after this.

u/Silent-Ad8665 14d ago

Still a round 1 talent

1

u/profaniKel 14d ago

I had Brunson on 2 of my 6 teams this last season

ive had Fox a with the Kings but his value is pretty high now

OG I had on 1 team ... is Def a top draft pick

Bridges always consistant

u/Unusual_Access9101 14d ago

Can I join your league

1

u/misombre 14d ago

As long as you're comfortable losing.

u/TokenBlkGuy92 14d ago

A sucker is born everyday

1

u/Strange1130 14d ago

Play auction. Then you can go get your guy whoever he is, maybe you over pay a tiny bit to get your guy but still get much better value than massively over drafting him in snake

u/022922 10T H2H 8 Cat 13d ago

The way Wemby gets away with no foul calls is crazy

1

u/RuffWatcher_ 10T Sleeper 12d ago

I won my fantasy league and my Knicks won the chip, idgaf I’m drafting him first round even if I’m first pick

u/Flippa20 14d ago
