http://droppingdimes.gearlive.com/ - Giving Hoop Addicts The Assist
The end of the first round appears to be the land of boom-or-bust. Just a pick earlier, we saw Gilbert Arenas fly off of the board. Not long before him, Caron Butler’s entrance into the first round could make or break a few seasons. Needless to say, getting this guy with the 12th selection this season could prove to be quite a steal, assuming he plays to even half ...

The end of the first round presents an interesting dilemma to ponder this year. A few megastars with studly fantasy pedigrees will remain available due to their injury woes last season. Some pumped up Gilbert Arenas as a first overall pick last year...should have listened to that voice in your head that actually believes in that video game cover jinx.
“High risk, high ...

Um...Not good. Especially if you’re a Warriors fan
or a keeper league owner with Monta Ellis on

Allen Iverson will be 33-years-old at the start
of the upcoming 2008-09 NBA season, but does age
really affect Allen Iverson? Well, “the answer” (sorry, bad pun intended) is an emphatic NO! Iverson seems to be an immortal on the hardwood and will be entering his 13th season in the league. Wow, so I feel old.

Scoring? Check. Hustle stats? Check. Year-over-year improvement since
2003? You got it. One of fantasy’s most underrated
players over the last handful of years has finally made the jump into the first round. Sure, his position isn’t exactly a rarity, but you can no longer turn a cheek at the production that we have seen, and continue to ...

A long time ago, when I went to
back to school in the fall, one of the
assignments I always looked forward to was the “What you did over the summer” write up. It gave one the opportunity to recall the events and experiences of the past summer. Can you imagine if Elton Brand had to do a write-up for this past summer?

Luis Scola was quite a hot commodity in
the later rounds of last year’s fantasy hoops drafts.
After a roller coaster season that saw several 20-point nights followed up by single-digit disasters, Scola showed the world once and for all that Rick Adelman simply needs to run a few plays through his power forward (with center-eligibility, mind you). In the Olympic game versus ...

Well, the Chris Kaman German basketball experience has
come and gone. Dirk has carried the torch for
his country. Now the question is can he carry your fantasy team this coming season?
And you all wonder why I despise any sort of extra curricular basketball…
From the Toronto Star :
Jose Calderon will not play for Spain today in the Olympic men’s basketball semifinals.
The Raptor point guard has what’s being called a partial tear of the adductor muscle, an injury revealed after an MRI here on Thursday.
Toronto officials are following up ...

Shawn Marion got his wish last season when
he was traded to the Miami Heat. Marion felt
he was not getting the spotlight he deserved in Phoenix playing in the shadows of Steve Nash and Amare Stoudemire. In Miami, he’d be able to spread his wings and show his true talents. Well, the grass is not always greener on the other side.

Not the greatest of news for Blazer fans
or Brandon Roy keeper league owners. Per the team’s
official site : The Portland Trail Blazers announced today that guard Brandon Roy will undergo arthroscopic knee surgery on Thursday to repair a tear in the meniscus of his left knee. A Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) taken Tuesday revealed the tear in the meniscus.

So the top three picks are pretty much
no-brainers. Nobody outside that trio should be considered to
picked that high this year. That said, a strong group follows them up, and in our mock, Amare Stoudemire was the lucky fourth. With Injury concerns subsiding and a full summer of rest with no Olympics, he’s the safest big man pick on the board outside Kevin Garnett...

A lot can change in a year. Last
year, who would have thought a humble Dropping Dimes
writer would be tying the knot in 2008! Yours truly will be taking the plunge in the upcoming month. I am hoping I can finish all my fantasy football drafts before the wedding?! I digress. Last summer, the fantasy basketball world was debating whether Kobe Bryant or LeBron James should be taken with the ...

Here is where you can find links to
each pick made in our 2008 mock draft. This
year we decided to focus on making picks in a head-to-head league that uses the standard eight or nine categories (with turnovers being the ninth). Check back often as we aim to have new entries up on a regular basis.

James #1 overall for three years running now. This
year our mock draft focuses towards a head-to-head league; even with the lower FT%, LBJ is a surefire pick. Where does that leave us now with ...

While I would have liked it a lot
more had he gone to Golden State as once
rumored, the Philadelphia 76ers have extended the tweener guard for five more seasons. I was pretty big on Williams as a last-round type last season, and think I may do the same this year as he had shown several flashes of brilliance.
