2014 *Current Players* NBA Fantasy Draft
- Thread starter spycam1

Lol you took Westbrook early.
The thing with picking Duncan @ 5 is that most people will try and get their team's primary playmaker with the 1st pick. This is something Duncan really doesn't do anymore. However, he is probably the best player in the NBA with a usage rate under 25 from the last season. So you could take a lower-tier #1 option in the second round (plenty left) and not be at a disadvantage because you have Tim Duncan with that person. Hotttnickkk certainly didn't screw himself over with his pick, and I don't think it's as bad as I initially thought. It just seems odd to take the best complementary player available (imo) at #5 impo. It makes even more sense when you think about how much of a crapshoot it appeared to be after Lebron and Durant. Not much difference in perceived value between these players.

You have such weird takes on players.
Westbrook is one of the very select few players who are two-way superstars.
Who does Westbrook shutdown on defense?
Does he really contribute that much on defense?
Yup - that's exactly right.
Quin's in the East coast so he's obviously sleeping.
Damn it.
Damn it.

Yes, he does. It's hard to have discussions like this at this stage in the draft cause I think it's dumb to mention players that haven't been picked yet, but he's easily a better two-way star than anyone else available.
Westbrook wouldn't be a stretch at all in the top 5. Certainly not any more than Davis.
Davis > Westbrook next year
Well, that better be the case. You picked Davis 3rd and Westbrook was picked 8th. So if Davis isn't better this year, then that's pretty ****ty drafting on your part.
