On: 9/30/2009 10:36:00 AM		 The fourth round is too early for Ariza, even in a 12-team league. Hinrich was grossly forgotten during the draft. It's nuts that he was the last pick. He should get close to 25 minutes a night backing up Salmons and Rose this year. That should be enough to get over a trey and a steal per game, double-digit scoring and almost four assists per game. Not sure about the Hansborough pick either. Don't mean to pick on you, Zach, but there were plenty of potential starters and injury-free players still available in a 13-round draft. Channing Frye, Suns projected starting center, didn't get drafted and neither did Hakim Warrick.

PG fell in this draft -- had i known it was going to happen like it did, i wouldn't have started off deron/chauncey. i doubt andre miller, mario chalmers, and tj ford go in the 9th of many other drafts this season. agree on hansbrough and gortat isn't rosterable in a standard league at this point, either

I'm not really prepared to defend it mightily except to say that I was speculating based on his pedigree and didn't mind taking a risk with my 13th pick. Frye I'm skeptical of. The prospect of starter's minutes is attractive, obviously, but it seems like Phoenix plans on using him more as a foil to give Stoudemire space than anything else. He doesn't block shots, although his rebounding rate (ca .18/min last year) could see a boost given the switch from Portland's turtle-like to Phoenix's hare-esque paces. He's in the discussion, I guess; it just seems like his upside is limited.

But Kyle's spot on about Frye. Assuming he wins the starting center position, Frye will hold plenty of value playing for the Suns. He's been one of my favorite late-round picks this year, but I passed him up after Hinrich dropped in this draft.

By: Chris Liss
On: 10/1/2009 12:31:00 PM		 yeah, KG might never be all the way back, it's true. But even at 25-30 mins a game, if healthy, he's well rounded enough to earn that value.
 
By: nayfel
On: 10/1/2009 6:15:00 PM		 Yeah but I think Rasheed was signed more to spell him than Perkins. He's fine there but considering you already had your big man (Amare), Devin may have made more sense.

Interesting Spring Performances, Part One: The NL
As spring training ambles nonchalantly towards the finish line, it's always fun to take a look at spring stats to see who really jumps off the page and might be making some kind of statement or other...
My AL Tout Wars team
We did the AL Tout Wars draft Saturday morning, once again in "The Bubble" at the Sirius/XM studios. It was a different Tout experience than my usual drafts at Tout - lately I haven't paid for closers there, or spent much on my outfielders. But I'm also one to take the values where they fall. So to that end, here's my squad:
