Pete, can you text me if/when my pick comes up. I've got 14 pallets of product to deal with today, so at best I'll only be able to check in once every other hour.
Will do.

Boy, I was thinking if you could have landed Rondo and then Griffen. Wow! Still, I like your strategy. Very JRGesque.
Personally, I think Rondo's a bit overdrafted, even in the Howard strategy. I don't know if I would have taken him in the 4th round, even if he was there. He would have been a candidate, but not a for sure pick.
My main concern with Griffin is his health. That ACL is gonna go flying into the 12th row one of these days.

My main concern with Blake Griffin is that he sucks in fantasy basketball.
No blocks, no, steals, no threes, and murders your FT%
He's basically the new David West. Except that he also happens to be the most overhyped player in the league at the same time.

He's 1st Round value in a punt FT% model. I have 3 of the Top 10 fantasy players in the league in Howard, Smith, & Griffin in this build, with Howard being #1. Griffin was a no-brainer pick there.

I don't think so because he doesn't block shots.
In a punt FT model, Dwight Howard is definitely a top 5 fantasy player though.

He's a Top 10 player in the punt FT% model under various algorithms. Dwight's always the #1 guy in this build.
For example, basketballmonster has Dwight at #1, Smith at #7, and Griffin at #9 in a punt FT% model.

Full disclosure, I really dislike Blake Griffin. I hope he massively underperforms.
