Round 3, Pick 3: Mike Bibby, PG, Sacramento Kings
Many of you were wondering who I’d team up with Shawn Marion and Ben Wallace, well, wait no more. I’m going with the second overall pick of the 1998 NBA Draft out of the University of Arizona, PG Mike Bibby. No wonder Bibby looks so happy in the pic to the right. He’s joining my team!
In any case, despite getting drafted in a such a high spot, Bibby is basically unknown to the general NBA fan outside of the West (yes, I believe in the East Coast bias), thanks to playing with the Vancouver Grizzlies who at one time thought C Bryant Reeves was a key to their growth as a new franchise, and now with the Kings where he basically took a backseat to players such as PF Chris Webber and SF Peja Stojakovic. Well, he takes a backseat to no one now, even the super-talented and super-volatile SF Ron Artest. As much as Artest can make or break the Kings’ success, this is Bibby’s team and you’ll definitely want him on yours.

Okay, so we all pretty much know which NBA ballers will be going in the first two rounds of our fantasy basketball drafts – the Marions, the Jameses, the Garnetts, and Nashes. The first two rounds should pretty much be a walk in the park, other than wondering about a few players coming off of injuries – Tracy McGrady, Andrei Kirilenko, and Yao Ming. But, these players have so much upside and are so established as difference makers, there’s no question they’ll go in the first two rounds in most leagues, except in our DD Draft Blog: Round One – Round Two. Sorry, Tracy. But, you know what? We were probably thinking too much.
In any case, what about those unheralded players that are on the cusp of studhood? Players that will come off the draft board starting in the third round and probably no later than the fourth and maybe fifth round? Who are those players going to be?
Don’t worry, I got you with this. I can’t give away all of my secrets, but check out the following seven players. All things considered, such as position eligibility and upside I think these players could potentially put up first and second round value, or at the very least a round ahead of where they’d probably be drafted.
NOTE: Since we’re still in the middle of our DD draft, I won’t be going into great detail here since I don’t know how the draft will unfold and I may end up getting one of these guys, in which case I’d just copy and paste what I wrote and that would be just plain lazy on my part. Worse yet, I may plant a seed in my DD brothers-in-blogging to draft one of the following players because I made a compelling argument.
