The big wings! Not to be confused with the big wigs. Not to be confused with the big Whigs. No William Henry Harrison here… We got history jokes! Continuing our week of tiers, which I think is close to the first tier of weeks of content during the preseason (although Slim’s awesome playoff schedule article unquestioningly pushes it into the first tier!), it’s time to group our small forwards. Certainly a misnomer since guys like Giannis are 7-feet, and the multi-cat guys certainly aren’t small in production. I’m certainly small in interesting opens! Intro-ing these tiers articles is tough! I lump this intro in the “Undraftable in 12ers” Tier. Here’s the top SF for the 2015-16 Fantasy Basketball season:
The “Super elite top-5 overall wing flings” Tier:
| SF RANK | TOTAL RANK | PLAYER, TEAM | POS | NOTE |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 | James Harden, HOU | SG, SF | Very close to Brow for #1, very – and I mean very – minimal knock with Lawson stealing some usage whenever they play together. Brow still has a tad of upside after last year, I don’t know if Harden can go up much higher. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .445/.870/2.5/27.5/5.5/6.6/1.8/0.6/3.8 :36 | |||
| 2 | 4 | Kevin Durant, OKC | SF, PF | Upside for a return to fantasy’s top player, downside his foot issue hampers yet another season. I’m obviously closer to the former, but he doesn’t get into the top-3. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .500/.880/2.3/28.0/6.8/4.4/1.1/0.8/3.0 :34 | |||
| 3 | 5 | LeBron James, CLE | SF, PF | A horrific start turning it over in Cleveland, LeBron also had a steep drop in FG%. Both should imrpove, but he also has lost the blocks. Solid #5. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .505/.740/1.6/24.0/6.2/7.2/1.5/0.6/3.5 :36 |
The “Eesh, it’s tough taking these guys in the 2nd round if I didn’t draft a PG in the first round” Tier:
| SF RANK | TOTAL RANK | PLAYER, TEAM | POS | NOTE |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | 11 | Klay Thompson, GSW | SG, SF | Proliferation of defensive stats and crazy %s for how many treys he takes, Klay has shed the ThrAGNOF label and shit on it. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .450/.880/2.9/20.0/3.3/2.9/1.0/0.6/1.9 :34 | |||
| 5 | 13 | Draymond Green, GSW | SF, PF | Woooooo, #OccupyDraymondGreen! Don’t worry about any sort of sharp regression, the multi-cat is here to stay! |
| Slim’s Projection: | .455/.680/1.6/13.0/8.4/4.0/1.7/1.3/1.7 :34 | |||
| 6 | 15 | Jimmy Butler, CHI | SG, SF | Sure there’s injury concerns, but with Tibs gone, his ridiculous minutes should go down. Rose will take a little volume, help with efficiency. Love the strong game with low-TO. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .455/.825/1.0/18.5/5.6/3.1/1.8/0.5/1.4 :36 | |||
| 7 | 16 | Kawhi Leonard, SA | SG, SF | With LA in town, Kawhi is going to get more shots from deep, wider lanes to drive, and get a career-best in dimes. Pop’s annoying rotations/minutes is all that stands in the way of a superstar season. That is, except the scheduling committee giving the Spurs that awful playoff sched… Smh… |
| Slim’s Projection: | .480/.810/1.3/15.5/6.4/2.8/2.4/0.8/1.6 :34 |
The “Usable vets and sexy wings/STOP DOUBTING MY WIGGINS LOVE” Tier:
| SF RANK | TOTAL RANK | PLAYER, TEAM | POS | NOTE |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8 | 20 | Paul George, IND | SG, SF | Even in his best season, he wasn’t a first-round fantasy value. I do expect a very strong return though, although poor FG% and TO for a wing do have to be addressed with your team build. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .420/.820/2.1/19.5/7.4/3.2/1.7/0.3/2.8 :34 | |||
| 9 | 21 | Andrew Wiggins, MIN | SG, SF | Clear upside to have a superstar fantasy season, his post-ASB FT volume was insane. I see monster scoring with a solid FG%, along with baby steps in the D stats. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .450/.790/0.8/21.0/5.2/2.9/1.2/0.8/2.4 :38 | |||
| 10 | 22 | Carmelo Anthony, NYK | SF, PF | Only 30th in per-game last year, sure injuries factored in, but I don’t think there’s enough reliability here to draft him higher. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .445/.820/1.7/23.0/6.4/3.2/0.9/0.4/2.4 :36 | |||
| 11 | 28 | Gordon Hayward, UTA | SG, SF | Dante Exum has a torn ACL and the Jazz only have Trey Burke to play PG. Not much of a change to the slight concern over Hayward’s 5.2:2.8 AST:TO ratio dropping to 4.1:2.7 last year, but Hayward is looking up a tad with no Exum. Hayward has improved every year. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .450/.820/1.6/20.5/4.7/4.4/1.4/0.5/2.7 :34 | |||
| 12 | 30 | Rudy Gay, SAC | SF, PF | I imagine I’ll have several shares of Gay stock with this rank, as his inherent boring-ness is going to be overlooked. Career year in 14-15, big boost in AST, should see another boatload of O with Rondo not doing much shooting. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .450/.825/1.1/19.5/5.6/3.1/1.1/0.7/2.2 :34 |
The “Holy hell, did I really have a 19-spot gap until the next SFs??!?!” Tier:
| SF RANK | TOTAL RANK | PLAYER, TEAM | POS | NOTE |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 13 | 49 | Danilo Gallinari, DEN | SF | Probably my #1 sleeper this year, post-ASB 18.6/4.8/1.9/1.3/0.5 shooting 44.3% from the field, making 2.8 treys, hitting 3.8 FT at 89.1%, and only turning it over 1.3 per. Still only 27, got the big extension to be “the guy”, and there will be less shots from the PG with Mudiay taking over for Lawson. Upside to be a dynamic all-cat contributor. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .415/.870/2.2/16.5/4.9/2.1/0.9/0.5/1.5 :32 | |||
| 14 | 50 | Terrence Jones, HOU | SF, PF | 68th in per-game last year, starting only 24 of 33 games. As a starter – 13.5/7.6/1.1/0.6/1.8 while shooting 55%, making 0.5 treys, and only 1.3 TO in 29 MPG. Only knock is FT%, but volume is low. So much upside here. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .515/.625/0.7/13.5/7.8/1.3/0.7/1.7/1.4 :30 | |||
| 15 | 52 | Trevor Ariza, HOU | SG, SF | Shot 37% from the field for a little over half of 13-14, but turned it around and adds elite-wing steals to a low-TO game. A little boring, but solid. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .415/.820/2.3/13.0/5.9/2.7/1.8/0.3/1.7 :36 | |||
| 16 | 54 | Tobias Harris, ORL | SF, PF | True multi-cat contributor, maybe his best asset is the easy-to-find points, but hits all cats with low TO. Plays a ton of minutes as well. Just has to keep the ankles taped up. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .465/.800/1.3/17.0/6.2/1.6/1.0/0.6/1.5 :34 | |||
| 17 | 55 | Chandler Parsons, DAL | SF, PF | Primed for a bigger role in the O, but he’s off arthroscopic knee surgery and has had lingering back issues. Even at this high feels a little risky, but there’s enough upside… |
| Slim’s Projection: | .470/.735/2.1/16.5/5.3/3.4/1.2/0.4/1.9 :36 | |||
| 18 | 58 | Danny Green, SAS | SG, SF | Shots/3s to go down, I don’t trust a big minutes increase, and has stretches of invisibility. It’s his super power! 23rd per-game last year seems mighty unrepeatable with Aldridge. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .440/.840/2.1/11.0/4.4/2.1/1.2/1.0/1.1 :30 | |||
| 19 | 61 | Nicolas Batum, CHA | SG, SF | Horrible shooting pre-ASB, finally found his stroke for 45% post-ASB, and Hornets need another perimeter guy and facilitator. Should be OK, low upside. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .430/.840/1.6/11.5/5.9/4.8/1.0/0.6/2.0 :34 |
The “Interesting mid-round SF for multi-cat… and Kyle Korver” Tier:
| SF RANK | TOTAL RANK | PLAYER, TEAM | POS | NOTE |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20 | 63 | Khris Middleton, MIL | SG, SF | 34th in total value last year, after only playing 23 MPG through the first 27 games. Bucks need O, they need treys, and Jabari will be filtered in slowly. But as the season wears on, Jabari will work into minutes and they’ll shake-up Giannis at different positions, so could be a 2nd half sell-high. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .455/.860/1.4/13.5/4.3/2.8/1.5/0.1/1.6 :32 | |||
| 21 | 64 | DeMarre Carroll, TOR | SF, PF | Limited upside over last year for a few more shots and a few more treys, steals and blocks from the wing should translate. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .470/.730/1.9/13.5/5.9/1.8/1.5/0.3/1.2 :34 | |||
| 22 | 69 | Kyle Korver, ATL | SG, SF | Off both ankle and elbow surgeries, it’s tough to see him replicating his ridiculous 3PT% or minutes played. I’ll let someone else grab him, and when the minutes look a little more stable, maybe venture some buy low offers. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .470/.890/2.7/11.5/3.8/2.7/0.7/0.3/1.4 :32 | |||
| 23 | 70 | Robert Covington, PHI | SG, SF | In 49 starts last year, 15.2/5.0/1.7/1.6/0.6 with 2.7 treys. FG% is an issue with how many deep balls he shoots, but should start all year as the starting 3. Locked in a starting job and on virtually any other team, he’d be higher. Some Philly risk here since you never know what these schlubs will do. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .405/.820/2.5/15.0/4.7/1.8/1.4/0.6/2.2 :32 | |||
| 24 | 73 | Giannis Antetokounmpo, MIL | SF, PF | Athleticism and highlight-real Inspector Gadget plays seem to make him a tad overrated; treys didn’t develop last year, sub-2 STL+BLK, and 2.1 TO from a wing without doing much else isn’t worth a higher pick to me. If he didn’t have any upside as a 20-year-old, he’d be even lower. Upside is already baked in the baklava. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .480/.755/0.3/13.5/6.6/2.9/1.1/1.2/2.1 :32 |
The “Boring vets and WHAT IS MIROTIC DOING HERE AMONGST THESE GUYS?!” Tier:
| SF RANK | TOTAL RANK | PLAYER, TEAM | POS | NOTE |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 25 | 86 | DeMar DeRozan, TOR | SG, SF | Pts is still a category, which is fortunate for DeRozan since he doesn’t do much else. AST:TO regressed, treys regressed, but maybe some of that had to do with the bad groin injury. Still worth a fringe top-100 selection. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .425/.830/0.4/22.5/4.4/3.8/1.1/0.3/2.4 :36 | |||
| 26 | 87 | Thaddeus Young, BKN | SF, PF | Tough season for the Impaler in 14-15, and it looks like the treys are mostly gone and his FT% became catastrophic. Come for the out-of-position steals, stay for the nickname. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .475/.665/0.5/14.0/6.1/1.7/1.4/0.3/1.5 :30 | |||
| 27 | 88 | Joe Johnson, BKN | SG, SF | Upped his REB and AST last year, while keeping the TO mad low. With Jack not really a creator or a 3PT shooter, I could see a lot of O running through Johnson’s hands. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .430/.810/1.6/14.0/4.1/3.5/0.6/0.2/1.7 :32 | |||
| 28 | 90 | P.J. Tucker, PHX | SG, SF | Put up 11.3/7.4/1.5/1.4/0.3 with 1.1 treys post-ASB last year, and has a little additional upside with Kieff possibly forcing his way into a trade. Sneaky value at wing. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .440/.745/1.2/11.5/7.1/1.6/1.4/0.3/1.3 :34 | |||
| 29 | 91 | Arron Afflalo, NYK | SG, SF | Tough season last year, really disappeared on the Blazers, but the Poppycockers need offense and another point on that triangle to handle a lot of rock. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .430/.845/1.7/15.5/3.4/2.2/0.5/0.1/1.7 :34 | |||
| 30 | 92 | Kobe Bryant, LAL | SG, SF | If this doesn’t price me out, eesh I guess I would have to get Kobe and hope for some sort of rejuvenation. Crushing FG% and TO drain last year, falling apart physically, and a lot of youth around him that won’t make life easier. Meh. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .400/.830/1.3/18.0/4.7/4.3/0.9/0.2/2.8 :30 | |||
| 31 | 96 | Wilson Chandler, DEN | SG, SF | The Nugs paid him to play, but I don’t see much of a change to his 85th in per-game numbers last year, No Lawson gets negated by Gallo commanding shots a whole year and Mudiay not drawing the same defensive pressure. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .425/.770/1.8/14.5/5.8/1.8/0.7/0.4/1.5 :32 | |||
| 32 | 97 | Nikola Mirotic, CHI | SF, PF | In an uncrowded rotation and a guaranteed 30+ MPG, he’d approach the 50s. Per-36s 18.1/8.8/2.1/1.2/1.2 with 2.2 treys and only 1.9 TO in his rookie season, and even though he makes a great fit at the 4 next to aging centers, I don’t think you can approach him valued too much higher, although it’s very likely somone in your draft will reach to try to look like the smartest person in the room. Bulls 5-game finals week gives him a bump, since it’d be easy to see one of Noah/Gasol hurt at that point. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .410/.810/1.5/14.5/6.6/1.4/0.7/0.8/1.9 :28 | |||
| 33 | 100 | Wesley Matthews, POR | SG, SF | I didn’t think he’d make it top-100 coming off such a major injury and the Mavs clearly stating they’ll be cautious, but the talent pool is just too thin to not take the flier. If he lasts this far, you’ll have to excersize patience until the second half. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .435/.800/2.3/15.0/3.2/2.4/1.0/0.2/1.4 :32 | |||
| 34 | 103 | Kevin Martin, MIN | SG, SF | An extremely team-friendly contract for 16-17 as caps expand, he’s a dynamite trade target. Worried he becomes a 6th man on a contender for the second half. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .425/.890/1.8/18.5/3.2/2.4/0.8/0.1/1.9 :32 |
The “Last rounds/last pick flier” Tier:
| SF RANK | TOTAL RANK | PLAYER, TEAM | POS | NOTE |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 35 | 106 | Otto Porter, WAS | SF | 1.6/1.1/0.8 AST/STL/BLK last year in per-36s show some limited upside, but he’s going to play a boatload of minutes. Worth a shot. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .440/.730/1.1/10.5/6.0/1.4/1.2/0.6/1.2 :32 | |||
| 36 | 109 | Ersan Ilyasova, DET | SF, PF | Out of position treys is nice, but I’m not overpaying for pedestrian boards and defensive stats. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .455/.775/1.3/13.5/5.9/1.3/0.7/0.5/1.1 :30 | |||
| 37 | 119 | Jabari Parker, MIL | SF, PF | The Bucks are making it sound like they’re going to be EXTREMELY cautious with bringing Jabari along from the torn ACL, and I don’t really blame em. Worth a gamble especially in IL leagues – with only 2-3 bench spots and no IL, he’ll be a tough hold early on. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .480/.730/0.3/11.5/5.4/1.8/0.9/0.3/1.8 :26 | |||
| 38 | 122 | Luol Deng, MIA | SF, PF | A full roster should help Deng be a boring last-roster-spot guy, as the battered up Heat saw Deng have a FG% drop in the second half. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .460/.770/1.0/13.5/5.0/1.8/0.8/0.2/1.5 :32 | |||
| 39 | 130 | Stanley Johnson, DET | SF | Let’s get some sexy rookie hype! Put up a gaudy 16.2/6.8/2.0/1.8/1.0 slash in 5 appearances in summer ball, with minimal TO and hitting 57.7% from the field. Can play multiple positions – initially off the bench – but some saucy upside. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .420/.725/0.9/11.0/5.8/1.4/1.2/0.5/1.4 :28 | |||
| 40 | 137 | Justin Anderson, DAL | SF | More wing rookie nookie, Anderson wouldn’t be nearly this high if it weren’t for vets Parsons and Matthews recovering from injuries. Mr. Anderson should get a lot of run, especially early. My name is Neo! |
| Slim’s Projection: | .415/.770/0.9/8.5/3.7/1.3/0.7/0.2/1.4 :24 | |||
| 41 | 140 | Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, CHA | SF | Pretty boring, but has improved his FT% and can give you some out-of-position boards. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .470/.715/0/11.5/7.2/1.5/0.7/0.7/1.2 :30 | |||
| 42 | 142 | Marcus Morris, DET | SF, PF | Might be a better pick than StanJo in a deeper league, I think he’s the starter at SF out of the gate, then swings to some backup PF. Career-bests in Pts/Reb while tying his career mark in treys in 14-15. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .430/.690/1.5/11.5/5.8/2.1/0.9/0.3/1.0 :30 | |||
| 43 | 144 | Dion Waiters, OKC | SG, SF | Will pick up a lot of second unit minutes at wing, and mop up in junk time. Might not be rosterable all year, but a nice streamer in projected blowout matchups. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .400/.710/0.8/10.5/2.1/2.2/0.9/0.3/1.4 :26 | |||
| 44 | 145 | Gerald Henderson, POR | SG, SF | Dealing with a congenital hip issue, maybe the Blazers don’t end up starting him after all and go with McCollum. But a few minutes should be there on a team that needs offense. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .435/.810/0.5/12.5/3.6/2.4/0.6/0.3/1.6 :28 |
The “Undraftable in a 12er” Tier:
| SF RANK | TOTAL RANK | PLAYER, TEAM | POS | NOTE |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 45 | 147 | Tony Allen, MEM | SG, SF | A steals-only specialist, he peaked to 2.0 per last year. More in the streaming class, but can fit a lot of builds as a last pick. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .485/.640/0.1/8.0/4.3/1.5/1.6/0.3/1.3 :26 | |||
| 46 | 151 | Courtney Lee, MEM | SG, SF | Overall rank last year was nice, but he started mad hot from the field. Will get minutes and 1/2/1 3PTM/AST/STL which is nice this late. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .455/.860/1.1/10.5/2.3/1.9/1.0/0.2/1.0 :30 | |||
| 47 | 152 | J.R. Smith, CLE | SG, SF | Never been a Smiff guy, but nice dimes and steals late. More a streamer though – I think last year’s numbers with the Cavs were high. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .415/.760/1.9/11.0/3.2/2.1/1.0/0.2/1.2 :26 | |||
| 48 | 157 | Jae Crowder, BOS | SF, PF | Boston Clam Crowder got to the Celtics and started with a bang, but ended up pretty ho-hum. Can give you nice D stats, but Boston’s slim rotations will hurt. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .415/.770/1.1/11.0/5.6/1.6/1.1/0.4/0.9 :28 | |||
| 49 | 160 | James Johnson, TOR | SF, PF | A nightly rainbow line threat even off the bench, we’re still going in with another undefined role. Nice D stat streamer late in weeks. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .470/.710/0.3/9.5/4.2/1.9/0.9/1.1/1.3 :24 | |||
| 50 | 163 | Gerald Green, MIA | SG, SF | I think he plays more than Slim does, as I see him at 20 MPG off the bench, then starting on Wade DNP nights. We all know he can light it up when on. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .410/.815/1.7/10.5/2.4/1.1/0.6/0.2/1.4 :20 | |||
| 51 | 165 | T.J. Warren, PHX | SF | Markieff Morris is still there, but if he gets moved and the Suns don’t get a SF, T.J. could get a starting role. His fantasy game is still a little limited to PTS though… |
| Slim’s Projection: | .480/.740/0.1/12.5/3.5/1.1/0.8/0.3/1.4 :26 | |||
| 52 | 166 | Shabazz Muhammad, MIN | SG, SF | Like LaVine, a ton of minutes will open up for Shabazz when K-Mart is moved, likely at backup wing. Great numbers as a starter last year at 15.6/4.9/2.0/0.5/0.4, with 1.1 treys and a nice 2.8-3.4 FT volume. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .475/.730/0.5/13.0/4.1/1.2/0.5/0.2/1.1 :24 | |||
| 53 | 167 | Mike Dunleavy, CHI | SG, SF | Should start, and that’s about all I can say that’s interesting… |
| Slim’s Projection: | .430/.810/1.6/10.0/3.6/1.7/0.5/0.3/0.9 :28 | |||
| 54 | 171 | Bojan Bogdanovic, BKN | SG, SF | Lost his starting spot to scrubs like Markel Brown and Karasev last year, but is in line to give it a second shot as a starter out of the gate. ThrAGNOF! |
| Slim’s Projection: | .460/.820/1.4/10.5/3.1/1.1/0.6/0.1/1.3 :28 | |||
| 55 | 173 | Evan Turner, BOS | SG, SF | The long-term deal for Crowder clouds the minutes. PTS/REB/AST stats sometimes get overrated for Turner, who isn’t good anywhere else. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .425/.765/0.3/9.5/5.0/4.9/0.9/0.2/2.3 :28 | |||
| 56 | 177 | Donatas Motiejunas, HOU | SF, PF | He’ll move up a couple if he looks really healthy in pre-season, I worry about the back and don’t think he plays starting C if Dwight gets hurt – I see that for Capela. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .480/.620/0.6/10.0/5.1/1.6/0.6/0.4/1.5 :24 | |||
| 57 | 178 | Rodney Hood, UTA | SG, SF | Solid as a fill in last year, going 12.7/2.8/2.4/0.9/0.2 with 1.6 treys in 21 starts, but tough to see a 12-team usable role out of the gate. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .430/.770/1.4/10.0/2.7/2.0/0.7/0.2/1.0 :24 | |||
| 58 | 179 | Harrison Barnes, GSW | SG, SF | Yawn. Played well in real-life terms last year – yet another time share with Iguodala. No upside. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .445/.725/1.1/10.5/5.3/1.5/0.7/0.2/1.0 :28 | |||
| 59 | 180 | Paul Pierce, LAC | SG, SF | Yawn times two. Should get one last season of nice run with some treys, but you can’t expect a healthy season or big minutes. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .440/.795/1.5/11.5/3.8/1.9/0.6/0.2/1.3 :26 | |||
| 60 | 183 | Corey Brewer, HOU | SG, SF | Steals late, Brewer also showed he can score a little in reduced minutes with a decent perimeter stroke. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .430/.735/0.8/9.5/3.2/1.4/1.2/0.2/1.2 :22 | |||
| 61 | 187 | Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, BKN | SF | With SG such a revolving door last year, maybe RHJ can sneak in as a big starting SG… Not banking on it, but some decent defensive stats should be there either way. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .395/.690/0.3/5.5/3.6/1.1/0.8/0.3/0.9 :18 | |||
| 62 | 192 | Jamal Crawford, LAC | SG, SF | Wherever he lands he’ll play, and will be worth a consistent spot on deep league teams for the treys. ThrAGNOF! |
| Slim’s Projection: | .400/.875/1.6/12.0/1.8/2.3/0.7/0.1/1.3 :24 | |||
| 63 | 193 | Kelly Oubre, WAS | SF | I wish he was looking at a bigger role, but is a great fit for instant O behind Bradley Beal. Love his career upside. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .405/.705/0.6/7.5/3.4/0.7/0.8/0.3/1.2 :18 | |||
| 64 | 195 | Josh Smith, LAC | SF, PF | Take his almost unusable %s and TO and then give him less minutes. That’s how to tank a fantasy value, folks! |
| Slim’s Projection: | .420/.545/0.6/11.5/5.7/2.5/0.8/1.6/2.1 :24 | |||
| 65 | 196 | Justise Winslow, MIA | SF | Likely a year or two away, he plays behind two old wings in Wade and Deng. Might get a shot if Miami has another injury-plagued season. Remember when Michael Beasley was usable last year?! |
| Slim’s Projection: | .410/.680/0.4/6.5/2.4/1.0/0.6/0.4/1.1 :18 | |||
| 66 | 197 | Kent Bazemore, ATL | SG, SF | Two injured vet wings ahead of him (Korver, Thabo), there’s a chance for run here. Not a good FT shooter, but can hit the D stats pretty well and some dimes. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .425/.605/0.6/5.5/2.8/1.2/0.7/0.3/1.1 :18 | |||
| 67 | 200 | Justin Holiday, ATL | SG, SF | Like Bazemore, could run with big minutes at backup wing. I think they like Bazemore more for the D so I see bigger minutes for him, Holiday can fill up a stat line as well though. |
| Slim’s Projection: | .405/.795/0.8/7.0/2.0/1.4/0.8/0.4/0.8 :18 |
To be added: Al-Farouq Aminu was admittedly an oversight being out of the top-200, but I still think he’s in the undraftable tier, I’m not a fan. He’ll get entered in with my thoughts when the ranks get updated next Monday morning.
