    Hey Josh! Love the channel, long time subscriber here!
    Would love your advice to help me crush my keeper by round league. I went with Joker, Tatum, Trae with my top 3 picks… not a lot of value when there are teams keeping guys like Chet in the 9th, but I’ve got a strong base so we’re gonna try to draft our best around that.
    I traded away my 4th, so my first pick will be in the 5th and here are the top guys that I’m projecting to be around. That’s the context, H2H cat, 12 team league.
    Out of these guys, who do you take to compliment those other guys? Essentially I’m asking based on your knowledge of how the rest of the draft shakes out after round 5, am I adding rbds, assts, or scoring here?
    Cam Thomas, Nurkic, Capela, Herro, Giddey, Beal, Russell. Kuzma is interesting with both scoring and rbds, and Hartenstein as well. Also Porzingis maybe, but also maybe too much of a reach at 5. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    • @andreraffla5555
      @andreraffla5555 18 годин тому

      No idea what a keeper League is but if it's a 12 team league, players can't be duplicated AND you got those 3, I'm not sure how you can lose. You've got a solid foundation on fg%, pts, assist, rbnds. I would try to get high blks while maintaining your ft% and getting high rbnds. I'd go for Turner + Brook Lopez + Duren + I Hart + high rebounding wing (Josh Hart), and get as much steals and assist guys on the way such as garland, Schroeder, Mike Conley, tre jones, Tyus Jones ect. Coincidentally, those don't add many TO. You could also find wings that give some pts and ass or stls to complete the roster.

If McBride and Achiuwa and Payne have solid reserve roles, the Knicks team will be solid but they do lack depth. Mitchell Robinson is the wildcard IMO

Having your 2nd round pick hurt could be detrimental especially since many players in that range have similar enough value. I'd personally go for a sabonis/KAT but any combination of 2 players in that range would work. Also maybe someone falls to you, you never know.

      I think Embiid is a great pickup not gonna lie. At pick 10, you're screwed unless you get elite value at many parts of the draft. Embiid could very easily the best player .. worth the risk at that point. Lamelos value is similar to people in that range which is why I wouldn't do him though ... If he's there in your 3rd round, he is the way to go probably unless you indeed got Embiid earlier
