Wesley Matthews:(SG/SF)

Since Brandon Roy retired it looks like Matthews will be the starting SG in Portland. When given an opportunity last year Matthews did nothing but produce. Matthews will give you points, a good amount of three's with a good percentage (40%), steals (1.2 per game), and a solid free throw percentage. I think Matthews could actually improve on his numbers from last year and he currently is being drafted in the 6TH or 7TH round in most drafts.

 

Michael Beasley: (SF/PF)

Beasley scored 19.2 ppg last year and is a great source of FG's (7.7 pg) with a good percentage (45%). Beasley does not get as many rebounds as you would expect from a guy that is 6'10 but he still managed to average 5.6 per game even with Kevin Love dominating the glass. Beasley looks to be drafted in the 8TH round in most drafts right now, which is a steal since he has room for improvement.

 

Does anyone have any others?

I think Wright is a solid player but from what I've seen so far in mock drafts is that he's being drafted early in the 3RD round, which means nobody is sleeping on him. Infact I think thats a little too high because he's being selected over guys like John Wall, Chris Bosh, and Zach Randolph.

Ya, I think I drafted him late, I posted it in your thread. All the people in my draft are basketball players so they kinda know who to pick up

I like Wright. He is either overvalued or undervalued, depending on your league. If people are sleeping on him, a great player to grab!

At pick #76 Wright is a very good pick, I've just seen in some mock drafts where people where really reaching for him and there is no need for that. You drafted him at a good spot, good job!

I've seen this too. It's amazing how all over the map some players are this year. I think the lockout has a lot to do with that, as mocks don't get people calibrated as a whole. Like in football, everyone is all over the mpa for a while, but come June everyone sees where everyone else has certain players ranked, and you start merging your views with the other views. Wright is a perfect example. Steph Curry is another. Greg Monroe another.

Ben Gordon:

Richard Hamilton is gone and now Gordon will get the minutes he needs to put up some good numbers. He's an excellent source of three's and points and should have no problem outplaying his current ADP, which looks to be somewhere after the 11TH round. If you can get him that late then there is very little risk with him in my opinion.

Ryan Anderson:

Anderson was a first round pick back in 2008 but never was given a real opportunity until mid-season last year, he only averaged 22 minutes last year but still averaged slightly over 2 three pointers per game. At 6'10, he's a good rebounder  to go along with his good shooting percentages and this is all coming from a guy listed as a PF/C. This year Anderson very well could find himself in the starting line-up. Van Gundy commented that Anderson should see at least 30 minutes per game, if that's a case Anderson could break-out this year.

I feel like since he's the only good player for NO now, defenses will collapse on him

I read that. It would have worked out better for him if Dwight H. went to NJ.

Great call. Great name to toss out. I'll see if we can get a spotlight up on him.

I've Mr. Anderson sitting on my bench for the first matchup week…

My starter PF is Kevin Love but if Anderson can put up these numbers on a daily basis… the UTL slot will belong to him for the next 13 matchups :)
