@Kristjan: Go for it. Even if Murphy misses a month, that trade will be worth it. @Ev: You should still draft Frye, just not in rounds 6-8. I don't believe the amount of threes he made (or shot) last season will be replicated again, mostly because Turkoglu and Childress will take away a ton of his opportunities. But also because Gentry wants Frye to play more inside. And it is this role shift that will likely relegate him to come off the bench to start the season.

Most of them are fairly solid, even if I don’t agree with them, I can see why you’d think that way. Except…for Frye. You draft Frye for 2+ 3s, 1 steal and 1 block with the potential for more production post-Amare. And to knock him because he didn’t shoot 3s prior to joining the Suns is plain short-sighted. He begins this season still at the Suns so you shouldn’t expect the 3s to just dry up. It’s not like he is moving to an offense that outlaws the 3 ball. As a Blazer fan, I know Frye didn’t shoot threes because he was shooting 20 footers all the time. Now that he has extended his range and been given a well documented green light to shoot, to say he won’t shoot 3s is a complete fallacy.

There has been a positive feedback on Murphys injury and I have a possibility to get him for Morrow and Amir Johnson, In a H2H league. It is like 280 deep league so ill pick up crap but, it seems like worth considering!

@Daniel: ...Or when the player you took in the fifth round averaged 24 mpg before ending his season in February.

It’s this sort of Anti-draft value propaganda that makes these players good value picks later on. I’ve never drafted Camby and more often than not regretted it. I guess I never think about how lucky I am to not have him on my bench when he sits 20 games a season though…
