Maybe he has a night job

Just a FYI if my pick happens during the day you may be saying this about me, just be patient I'm going to be checking the site every day as soon as I get home from work. If you get bored you can send me a trade offer.

fish is the go-to guy who you can send your picks to if you end up leaving and going to work.

This.

We've all used him at one time or another.
 
Sorry about the delay. I've been stuck in football practice and meetings since 5 pm. Wanted to look at my trade offers, but nothing that I'm really high enough on to pass on my guy. Might be too early, but he's the guy that makes my plan work. Just such a genuinely unique talent.

Big thanks to LogGrad last year for the writeup. . .

The numbers are staggering. Utah has the league’s top defense since February, allowing just 95.7 points per 100 possessions according to nba.com/stats, shaving almost nine points per 100 possessions from its previous total. Since the Kanter trade, the Jazz have allowed just 89.3 points per 100 possessions. It’s a remarkable turnaround for a team that ranked dead last defensively the previous season.

Even with a limited offensive game, Gobert is averaging 11 points and 14 rebounds while shooting over 57 percent since moving into the starting lineup. His star has risen so quickly that the Jazz are taking extra care to point out that their defense started picking up before the trade and that it’s a collective effort that features -- among others -- Favors and rookie point guard Dante Exum.
He ranks fourth in the league in blocks per game (2.3) and his 186 swats are second most overall.

• Opponents shoot just 39.9 percent at the rim against Gobert, according to the NBA's data, the lowest mark among players who defend at least five shots there a game.

• The 7-foot-1 Frenchman ranks 15th in defensive rebounding (505), corralling more than 26 percent of all his team's defensive rebounding chances when he's on the court.

• And in the Jazz's defensive transformation, which has seen the team go from the NBA's worst defensive unit last year to its best since the All-Star break, no single player has had a bigger impact than Gobert.

"There aren't many guys that can have an impact on the game without scoring," Minnesota coach Flip Saunders said. "He can have impact without scoring."

I actually have another guy rated quite a bit higher, but I think he'll drop to my next pick and my next 3 guys after him play similar positions. Gobert is the key for my strategy this year and I passed on him last year thinking he'd fall but he didn't. Just one piece of the puzzle.

Also, I think he's due for a rebound year. I expect better production in points and rebounds. . . and he's widely recognized as the anchor of the best defense in the league. If he's in the conversation for defensive player of the year, then this isn't a reach.

That's actually a GREAT strategy.


Also at the end of the day these championships are so elusive, you have to think outside the box to pull something amazing off.. you and I both know that.. so good on ya.
 
Getting ready to head to Las Vegas airport in route to Tucson.
No kids.
No business.
First time ever that I'm traveling for something for my wife (that she wants to do) and I get to be the one pool lounging with a big hat, sipping pina coladas and having dudes hit on me all day.

So looking fwd to 5 days no schedule. At all.

Be back here to check in around noon or so.

Text me if somehow I'm up before then. Several skanks in here got my number.
