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.
Round 4, Pick 8: Raymond Felton, PG/SG, Charlotte Bobcats

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…

Because of a strained groin, Cincinnati Reds’ star outfielder Ken Griffey Jr. will call it a day for his 2007 season. He hit 30 home runs this year, with 93 RBI’s with a .277 batting average. Griffey left his Wednesday game against the Chicago Cubs because of the groin injury.
“You hope its not as bad as it feels,” said Ken.

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!

The New York Mets have made enemies out of the formerly last place Philadelphia Phillies. The Phils have taken 7 out of their last 7 games against the pride of Queens, New York. Today the Mets lost 5-3, in a game that dragged on for three hours and 43 minutes. Pedro Martinez took the hill for the Mets, and continued his string of good starts since returning from the disabled list. He threw 6 innings, gave up just one hit and struck out 9. His counterpart, trade deadline acquisition Kyle Lohse was shaky through 5 innings. He threw 112 pitches, just 64 for strikes. Lohse also gave up the only three runs the Mets would score today. So how did the Mets lose this game? Journeyman flame thrower Kane Davis came on to walk 3 batters in a row. One of which, Ruben Gotay, was thrown out stealing second. And with MVP candidate David Wright at the dish with runners on first and second, Jose Reyes got greedy and was thrown out attempting to steal third. So Davis walked three batters in his scoreless frame and retired just one hitter. Go figure. Phillies manager Charlie Manuel used 5 relievers, none of whom gave up a run. The Mets bullpen would give up 4 runs overall. Primarily at fault for the loss are Carlos Beltran, who misplayed a Jimmy Rollins triple allowing 2 runs to cross the dish, and manager Willie Randolph for trying to etch an extra inning out of tired reliever Pedro Feliciano, who threw a meatball to Aaron Rowand that would go for a solo shot.

A full recovery is expected for Oden, however, but will likely take six to twelve months.

Greg Oden Likely To Miss Rookie Season
Posted by Milo Taibi Categories: Athletes, Injuries, NBA,
The top pick in the June NBA draft, Greg Oden, will be out for the season. Oden had micro-fracture surgery on his knee, and will be on crutches for the next 8 weeks.
“Greg looked at me as he was coming out of his surgery, and he and his mom, Zoe, probably said ‘sorry’ 20 times,” Blazers general manager Kevin Pritchard said. “I could feel the weight of the world on his shoulders. And as a leader and as leaders of this organization, my first thought was how lucky we were to have a guy that cares about the organization that much.”
