C’mon man!

Real quick. ESPN and Yahoo have updated their draft lists and I want to make some mocking observations from my high horse.

I don’t know what Greg Oden did to the ESPN fantasy basketball guys, but he is languishing at #148. Sure, they might not have appreciated his special pictures in their editorial meeting, but this is craziness. If Oden isn’t off your board by #110, your league is adverse to being good. I’ve said it. There you go. Everyone knows he is a risk of breaking a leg again, but if last season with Tyreke Evans and Steph Curry taught us anything at all, it’s that risks are worth taking, especially in the 12th round. I do like T-Will and Anthony Morrow moving up, kudos and Darren Collison at #36 seems a tad high but a gamble, and I love that. We still don’t know if this is for Roto or H2H, or the categories. Please ESPN overlord, grace us with your knowledge.

Yahoo have gone with the old, chuck 4 people’s opinions in together and hope it makes a sensible list. I don’t know if this works particularly well. Example: When Mr Behrens (who I always pronounce in my head Biedrins) picks Derrick Rose at number 18 (I love Rose but 18?!) and everyone else leaves him out of their top 40. Who do I trust here? Anyway, their list is based on 9 cat Roto leagues which explains Howard’s position at #34. Other oddities. Biedrins has Amar’e at #22, Matt Buser has a man crush on Jason Kidd (#16) and Brandon Furston believes Brook Lopez is first round material. Overall, I think it’s a good representation of views and an interesting read. The best bit is that they dig into the top 30 of each position.
