“ill take this return over redd for sure”

to me, there are some players that still have potential or IF they stay healthy can be huge. and i think you know who im talking about:). more about that in a second.

players id take ahead of redd include:

the three mentioned above, but to be fair, those three should be gone well before redd.

i dont like vince carter at all, and would avoid him at all cost, just a personal preference. but id hold out and take redd instead of carter a round later if you happen to be in a snake draft and have an early pick (top 4). redd is comparable to carter and gets to the line as many time/game, but has better %’s.

joe johnson:

has a pretty bland game, but its a 5 cat game and is one of two slashing SG who qualify @ PG and get get 6+ assists/game…(the other is wade) if he got his FG % up 2%, hed be my poor mans dwayne wade….dont laugh, johnson is wade minus the blocks and plus the 3’s and his FG % wont help or hurt you.

and yes, if you want to throw hinrich in as a PG /SG who gets 6+assists/game, you can…but hes not on the formers level, so i wont bother.

Gerald Wallace:

remember earlier when i said IF? This is who i was talking about, but im sure you knew that. a player that can give you in 65 games what most wont give you in 82, and he gets the hard stats. points and reb can be had late in teh draft. but steals and blocks are hard to come by. you can get this guy with 50+% from the field and if yr lucky….youll get the same from the FT line, which is the only reason id pass on him.

Boris Diaw: jack of all trades, master of none

now, theres no way id take diaw over redd. but yr talking multi cats here. im not sold on him however…arguably 6 cat, more likely 5 cat…those .7 stls dont fly with me…about avg. hes rated higher on yahoo than redd, but again, i dont buy it…but it yr looking at multi cats, hes another guy.

and finally, cos im tired and i dont want to type anymore

Brad Miller.

Hes C eligible and meat and potatos. been pretty reliable seeing 72-56-79 in the past 3 seasons. From what i read is being encouraged to step outside and at least attempt more 3s…now me…ill take this return over diaw for sure, 38% from behind the arc last season…FOR A CENTER?!? the scarcest position in fantasy basketball and hes a 5 cat contributor for sure 7 cat if you count .8 stl and blk/gme….but he wont hurt you in stl and blcks.

Terrance, you mentioned that there’s too many multi-cat players availabe in late 2nd round to take Redd…but I’m wondering who you had in mind who would help you in more than 5 categories (Redd helps in Pts,3’s,Stls,FT% (a lot), TOs)

If you look at guys who Yahoo has rated 18-24 (a proxy of who might be available in the late 2nd round of your draft) the ones that stick out are

V.Carter
Kirilenko
Billups
Kidd

Are those the folks you had in mind? or are there others?

Im loving mo williams this year, charlie bell had a quick flash in the pan last season, but that isnt enough to take that many minutes from williams. Last season mo williams was a good pg3 thru the first 20-30 games with tj ford in the picture. he has no name recognition and should be avail in round 11-12. to me, that makes him one of the bigger sleepers that could pay off in the late rounds. the minutes are mo’s to lose
