Year 2 of an Unprecedented Draft Haul! The Association s top drafts only come along every so often. In the modern history of the league, the top drafts have come in 1984, 1992, 1996, 2003 and 2017 with 2011 also being the classic that nobody saw coming at the time. So in terms of the law of averages, 2018 should feature a quite pedestrian haul but this very clearly is not the case. Instead, we are in for a big treat for the second year in a row. Center DeAndre Ayton of Arizona has emerged as the frontrunner for the top pick and he is joined near the top of the heap by another dominator in the pivot, Mohamed Bamba of Texas. Michigan State s Jaren Jackson, who also profiles as a power forward, rounds out the trifecta in the pivot, while stretch four monster Marvin Bagley of Duke is a strong contender for the second overall pick. His primary competition comes from swingman Luka Doncic of Slovenia, the most advanced Euro to come into the league in many years. Small forward Michael Porter of Missouri comes with some health concerns, but he d otherwise be a contender for the top overall pick such is his skill level. In an era of historically great point guard play, two special talents will be coming into the league next fall: sweet-shooting Trae Young of Oklahoma and aggressive playmaker Collin Sexton. These eight players, as well as a next level of talent that should contain many valuable rotation contributors, will ensure that this draft class is long remembered for its diversity of great skills.

5 Preview Of FantasyDrafthelp.com Ultimate Fantasy Hoops Stat For Season This is the FantasyDrafthelp.com statistic, the Ultimate Quantitative Baseline, based on the statistical principle of standard deviation from the mean. We utilize the standard fantasy categories: PPG, RPG, APG, ST, BL, TO, FG%, FT% and 3%. In each category, a spectrum is calculated from the best performance to the worst on a per-game basis. The numbers in each category are added together to create our statistic. An additional equalizer is injected to apply more points to each player at the positions of scarcer depth. What this stat truly does is to quantify beyond doubt how the stronger and weaker performances in each category add up to the absolute fantasy value for each player. As such, it establishes a baseline for performance that is more comprehensive than anything ever developed. A number over 1000 is considered elite. We have listed below the top 25 forwards and guards, top 15 centers and top 50 overall.

7 Designing a Dream NBA Tournament By Rick Morris/The FDH Lounge Those wishing to shorten the NBA s regular season to a more-humane 70 games have a burden of proof vis-à-vis demonstrating how such a move could be executed without anyone involved losing income which seems almost impossible. But, characteristically, The FDH Lounge has an idea just wild enough to be successful. It s a 53-game, one-month tournament just after the end of a 70-game season, targeted to begin Memorial Day weekend, involving six All-Star teams, one representing each division in the league. Each team would play all of the others twice, a home-and-away matchup, with games spread all over the league. After the 10-game slate is concluded, the top four teams will square off in semifinals, then a championship, with margin of victory settling all seeding tiebreakers. Key to this collectively-bargained deal would be the mandate that all healthy players participate, since, again, they re keeping their full salaries notwithstanding a shorter NBA season. That s not to say that there won t be injury exemptions, which are included in our projection of what each roster would look like and how we would rate their chances for success. Those rosters are listed below, with injured players omitted. Atlantic #3 Central #5 Southeast #6 Southwest #3 Northwest #2 Pacific #1 PG Ben Simmons Eric Bledsoe John Wall Jrue Holiday Russell Westbrook Steph Curry Kyle Lowry Reggie Jackson Kemba Walker Mike Conley Damian Lillard D'Angelo Russell Malcom Brogdon Dennis Schroder Tyreke Evans SG DeMar DeRozan Victor Oladipo Bradley Beal James Harden Donovan Mitchell Klay Thompson JJ Redick Zach LaVine Kent Bazemore Marshon Brooks CJ McCollum Devin Booker Tim Hardaway Jimmy Butler Lou Williams Jaylen Brown SF Jayson Tatum Khris Middleton Evan Fournier Trevor Ariza Paul George Kevin Durant Otto Porter Wesley Matthews Andrew Wiggins TJ Warren Taurean Walker-Prince Carmelo Anthony Brandon Ingram PF Dario Saric Greek Freak Aaron Gordon Anthony Davis Paul Millsap Draymond Green Michael Beasley Blake Griffin Markieff Morris Harrison Barnes Kyle Kuzma Lauri Markkanen Frank Kaminsky C Joel Embiid Kevin Love Nikola Vucevic Clint Capela Karl-Anthony Towns DeAndre Jordan Enes Kanter Andre Drummond LaMarcus Aldridge Nikoka Jokic Jusuf Nurkic Myles Turner Dirk Nowitzki Rudy Gobert Brook Lopez Sportsology Baseball, football, hoops, hockey, pro wrestling, music, it matters not: nobody, but nobody, brings it stronger!

10 2018 Free Agency Preview Here we go again with Lebron. Sigh. This fullemployment act for the national vulture media looms over the entire Association, sucking all the air out of the proverbial room, easily overshadowing the faux free agency of Kevin Durant, who won t dare leave the velvet-soft nest that he has created for himself. The other top-flight talents available are not old hat to this stage: CP3, Paul George and DeMarcus Cousins. The first two of those three are rumored to be following Lebron wherever he goes. The next tier consists of a brutal failure looking to revamp his career (Isaiah Thomas), an elite role player (Trevor Ariza) and the sleeper of the class, an up-andcoming offensive dynamo at shooting guard (Will Barton). Others of note include Derrick Favors, Avery Bradley and JJ Redick Team UQB Rankings FantasyDrafthelp.com and The FDH Lounge are expanding the UQB concept to team sports. Our rankings are a mashup of the following measures: a strength of schedule metric, offensive rating, defensive rating, EFG, TS%, Asst/TO ratio, 3% and a modified Win Share formula. 1 Golden State 2 Cleveland 3 Toronto 4 Houston 5 New Orleans 6 Philadelphia 7 Utah 8 Milwaukee 9 Denver 10 Indiana 11 Boston 12 Minnesota 13 Washington 14 Portland 15 Oklahoma City 16 Detroit 17 Miami 18 Charlotte 19 San Antonio 20 LA Clippers 21 Dallas 22 Brooklyn 23 New York 24 LA Lakers 25 Atlanta 26 Orlando 27 Chicago 28 Sacramento 29 Memphis 30 Phoenix NotJustAnotherTVSite.com Unmatched analysis of the best television programs and the state of the industry.
