The Fantasy Draft

There is no real backstory. Let’s just make a few assumptions.

One of the results of the lockout was that all team had to participate in a Fantasy Draft. Obviously not realistic. RDT also takes over the Knicks from James Dolan, frankly because James Dolan is an idiot.

All injuries magically vanished! How awesome was that?

That’s it.

The New York Knicks, now heading into an 11th straight season without a playoff game victory, got a bit lucky and landed the 10th pick in a snake draft. Most of the mega-superstars will be drafted by then.

We had a couple draft goals:

Stay Young: The Knicks of the last 10 years relied on veterans to lead to 30 win seasons (Stephon Marbury, Luc Longley, Steve Francis, Jalen Rose, Malik Rose, past his prime Dikembe Mutombo, past his prime Tracy Mcgrady, Al Harrington, Antonio McDyess are just some examples).

Don’t spend too much money: Try to keep the contracts to a minimum, as we might be able to land a top tier FA next season.

So, here it is!

Pick: 10th (Round 1)
Player: Kevin Love, PF
Age: 22
10-11 Key Stats: 20.2 PPG, 15.2 RPG, 47-85-42%s
Rationale: Choices were Love, Blake Griffin and Deron Williams. Williams would have been a great starting point, but I feel good PGs can be found later. Love vs. Blake is interesting, Blake probably has more upside, but Love is a scary rebounder with three point range.

Pick: 51st (Round 2)
Player: Ricky Rubio, PG
Age: 20
10-11 Key Stats: Rookie
Rationale: Justified my not taking Deron Williams. Rubio has tons of upside, but some shooting problems. Still a candidate for Rookie of the Year.

Pick: 70th (Round 3)
Player: Danilo Gallinari, SF
Age: 22
10-11 Key Stats: 15.6 PPG, 4.9 RPG, 4.0 APG, 86% FT
Rationale: Sue me. As a Knicks fan I loved Gallinari, and his all around offensive game should compliment Love and Rubio. Other choice was Roy Hibbert, who, while intriguing, I think is a bit on the overrated side. Brook Lopez was also an option, since his lack of rebounding could have been covered by Love, but I just love Danilo’s game.

Pick: 111th (Round 4)
Player: Greg Oden, C
Age: 23
10-11 Key Stats: DNP, 11-8.5 in 23 MPG in 09-10.
Rationale: One of the benefits of the no injuries stip, I’m rolling with Oden at center. His durability is still the lowest it can be, and offensively he is still rather raw. But Oden still oozes potential, and is a good NBA defensive center already. If he can stay healthy, this will be a steal in round 4. Other choices were Greg Monroe, which is okay I guess, and Derrick Williams or Derrick Favors, two guys I could regret missing out on.

Pick: 130th (Round 5)
Player: Iman Shumpert, SG
Age: 21
10-11 Key Stats: Rookie
Rationale: Another rookie, but Shumpert is a defensive type. Has offensive skill, but shot selection can be horrid. Shumpert and Oden’s defensive abilities will hopefully help Love, Gallo and Rubio in that area, and vice cersa for offense. Other choices were Trevor Ariza (decent Shumpert comparison) and Sam Dalembert (to cover Oden).

Pick: 171st (Round 6)
Player: Marshon Brooks, SG
Age: 22
10-11 Key Stats: Rookie
Rationale: Yet another rookie. Brooks has great potential as well, and could be a homeless man’s Kobe soon. Didn’t really consider anyone else here.

Pick: 190th (Round 7)
Player: Tracy McGrady, SG
Age: 32
10-11 Key Stats: 12-5.4-5.4-1.4 STL per 36 MPG
Rationale: The only veteran on the team. McGrady’s best days are behind him, but if he can find some of his old school ability in the next two seasons, he will still be effective. His per 36s from last season still indicate an all around game. Expect McGrady to play the 6th man role. Other choice here was Josh Howard, who hasn’t been the same since he was caught with pot and tore his ACL.


Pick: 231st (Round 8)
Player: DeJuan Blair, PF
Age: 22
10-11 Key Stats: 16-9.5, 50% FG per 36 MPG
Rationale: Absolute steal here imo. Good defender coming out of Gregg Popovich’s system. Will be expected to play both backup center and power forward. Is capable of big 20-13ish nights. Other choice here was Mike Miller, but I needed a backup big.

Pick: 250th (Round 9)
Player: Markieff Morris, PF
Age: 21
10-11 Key Stats: Rookie
Rationale: Rookie big who will be expected to play big minutes behind Oden and Love.

Pick: 291st (Round 10)
Player: Jerryd Bayless, PG
Age: 22
10-11 Key Stats: 16-4-6 per 36 MPG
Rationale: Young explosive PG. Will compete for backup minutes with the next pick. Has an all around game.

Pick: 310th (Round 11)
Player: Goran Dragic, PG
Age: 25
10-11 Key Stats: 14-6 per 36 MPG
Rationale: Will compete with Bayless for playing time. Perhaps best known for his big playoff game against the Spurs as a member of the Suns a couple years ago. Admittedly drafted because I am a fan of his. Amazingly the 3rd oldest player on the team.

Pick: 351st (Round 12)
Player: Tiago Splitter, PF
Age: 26
10-11 Key Stats: 14-10 per 36 MPG
Rationale: Probably won’t play much this season. Has learned behind the great Tim Duncan.

That’s the team. Next update will be off-season stuff, + team information.

Yeah, you are like the Minnesota Timberwolves.

But worse :shifty:

Not a fan of KLove over Griffin and Oden is a big chance. Still, at least yous tuck to your young players plan.
