Dropping Dimes Mock Draft Blog 2007: Round 4, Pick 8: Raymond Felton
Posted by Scott Sargent Categories: H2H, Roto, Site Features, Southeast Division, Charlotte Bobcats, Talent,
Team “Five” has been fortunate enough to land two solid frontcourt players in Dirk Nowitzki and Tim Duncan, giving them the freedom to address the backcourt in back-to-back rounds. With Chauncey Billups getting nabbed in the third frame, we’re going to bolster the guard position even more by adding a player bound for a breakout.

This guys made the all-star team last year. In the fantasy dome, he still has that upside people love to talk about. Agent Zero will drop mucho buckets for this team, but in J-Smoove and Crash, we have two fantasy studs who have not yet shown they can be 20 ppg scorers. And thus I passed on the remaining big men available to be taken around this point in the draft.

Mock Draft Central Fantasy Basketball Experts League

The Fig Cap: “I fell to fourth? FOURTH?!?!”
So, somehow, this little fantasy basketball blog of ours was able to get into this group of experts for some mocking. We feel we held our own and were happy to join the banter as the draft moved along. NOTE: Matt Buser made a comment along the lines of Zach Randolph and Eddy Curry bringing the Knicks back to prominence. As a realistic Knicks fan I took umbrage… apparently, I was the only one that didn’t get that Buser was kidding. Check out his Curry Line. Sometimes I take my Knicks TOO seriously. I’m such a dummy.
Anyway, you’ll also see Sarge in the mock repping Sports Grumblings, which you should definitely check out AFTER DroppingDimes.com of course. In any case, since Sarge knows my tendencies (Take it easy out there… I meant draft tendencies), he was actually predicting some of my picks in the draft chat. I’m convinced he’s my fantasy sports hetero-lifemate.
Here’s the rest of the experts that participated in the draft in selecting order…

Dropping Dimes Mock Draft: Round 4, Pick 6 - Ron Artest
Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: Central Division, Indiana Pacers, Editorial, H2H, Pacific Division, Sacramento Kings, Props, Roto, Site Features, Talent,
The Fig Cap: This is McFarlane Toys’ rendition of Artest. Booty to be slapped not included.
Allen Iverson is the paragon of the “thug” element in basketball’s current era of tattoos, cornrows, mean mugs, and putting out hip hop records. However, AI is the paragon because of all of his offcourt shiznizzle. So, if anyone has been the epitome of “thug” on the court (and in the stands), there is no question that it’s Ron Artest. Sure, okay, fine… why beat a dead horse? We all know about The Malice in the Palace and all that, but I WAS TRYING TO MAKE A POINT!!! In any case, despite the bad rap (and I don’t mean Artest’s record), the Tru Warier has some game and ironically enough, plays lockdown defense. But, that’s not all the boy from the QB can do.

Dropping Dimes Mock Draft 2007 Round 4, Pick 5 - Mike Bibby
Posted by Ron Chow Categories: H2H, Pacific Division, Sacramento Kings, Roto, Site Features,
Alright the fiancée is in the next room… I have a confession to make… I have a man crush on Mike Bibby, okay let me clarify I have fantasy basketball man-crush. I am not attracted to his latte colored skin nor do I think his headband highlights the shape of his eyes. I just think that Bibby is a solid fantasy player. For the past three seasons, I have either drafted or traded for Mike Bibby in at least one of my fantasy basketball leagues. I can’t really pinpoint what started the infatuation. Bibby is not a top five point guard. It could even be argued if Bibby is a top 10 point guard, heck, in our mock draft he was the 13th player taken that can be slotted in the PG spot!

Injury Lowdown: No Rookie of the Year Honors for Greg Oden
Posted by Ron Chow Categories: Injuries, Northwest Division, Portland Trailblazers, Site Features,
Portland Trail Blazers center Greg Oden will miss his first NBA campaign with season-ending knee surgery. What was originally supposed to be an exploratory procedure on his right knee turned into microfracture surgery. A full recovery is expected for Oden, however, but will likely take six to twelve months.

Dropping Dimes Mock Draft: Round 4, Pick 4 - Jason Richardson
Posted by Scott Sargent Categories: H2H, Props, Roto, Site Features, Southeast Division, Charlotte Bobcats,
I apologize for the delay folks. Sometimes, the personal life takes over for a bit – and some things are just unavoidable. Now it’s back to the grind of getting this mock draft rolling. With the first three rounds, “Team Nine” has selected Dwyane Wade, Andre Iguodala and Jermaine O’Neal. This gives an incredibly talented base at both guard positions as well as some flexibility to play Iggy at the three. Jermaine O’Neal’s flexibility is welcomed, as well as his abilities to notch 20 and 10 a night. While the health issues are definitely prevalent with this squad, I have no issues in adding some more scoring with some long-range talent and highlight reels mixed in for good measure. With a new home and bright outlook for this season, I’m going with…

Dropping Dimes Mock Draft 2007: Round 4 Pick 3 - Brandon Roy
Posted by Alvin Lai Categories: H2H, Northwest Division, Portland Trailblazers, Roto, Talent,
The Fig Cap: You were taken 12 picks before me? And you played for Team USA first? Come here and taste some pain!
Nothing against Deron, but we like this guy. It sure got old fast but we were one of the first pronouncing “Roy for ROY” last year. This year? Look out.

Dropping Dimes Mock Draft 2007: Round 4, Pick 2 - Kevin Martin
Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: Editorial, H2H, Pacific Division, Sacramento Kings, Props, Roto, Site Features, Talent,
The Fig Cap: Boom Dizzle My P-Nizzle!
Anyone remember Special Ed? No, not as in classes, but as in the rapper from the late 80’s/early 90’s. “I Got It Made,” “I’m The Magnificent,” “Come On, Let’s Move It.” Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Seriously, whenever I see Martin with his fresh cut fade, I always think of Special Ed. To paraphrase Mars Blackmon, “It’s gotta be the cut.” Anyway, the aforementioned three songs I mentioned all apply to Martin, appropriately enough. He’s certainly got it made now after signing a five-year deal with the Sacramento Kings. Martin has played magnificently when given the playing time (sorry, got to pop my collar right now knowing I called Martin’s crazy game when Peja Stojakovic was hurt a couple of seasons ago; although I’m still waiting for Francisco Garcia to get his well-deserved burn) as last season proved. And now with his 2006-07 performance, he moves it (as in his draft stock) up all the way to the fourth round of this mock draft.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, Special Kev.
