Round 6, Pick 9: Nenad Krstic, PF/C, New Jersey Nets
On a squad that already totes one of the leagues best rebounders in Kevin Garnett, along with solid forward options in Rasheed Wallace and Rashard Lewis, I don’t exactly need front court help. However, what I do need is someone that is actually center-eligible for two reasons:
1) We start two centers in this league, and I see the drop-off from this point being quite steep, and…
2) Rasheed Wallace lost his center-status this year in a lot of leagues. While I fully expect him to get it back at some point, I’ll need someone in there now.
Add in the fact that Krstic will eventually be my “C2,” and he could end up being a steal this late in the draft in a two-center league.

Dropping Dimes Draft Blog: Round 3, Pick 1
Posted by Scott Sargent Categories: Atlantic Division, New Jersey Nets, Editorial, H2H, Props, Roto, Talent,
While some of the first 24 picks have focused on some players that can be considered statistical specialists (Andrei Kirilenko or Ben Wallace with blocks and steals, Steve Nash with assists and free throw percentage), this team that is already comprised of LeBron James and Amare Stoudemire appears to have a firm foundation of well-rounded contributions. James is a triple-double threat every night, while Stoudemire can put up 20 and 10 with a couple blocks thrown in for good measure at the drop of a…dime. Thus, drafting for value, and attempting to not group this tandem with any one that could kill any certain category, I see no better option at this stage than to go with the off-guard from the New Jersey Nets.
