2018-2019 NBA Fantasy Team: Stairway to Kevin

It’s time for some fantasy basketball!

Ok, it’s a little early, but I just finished up a draft for a new league I entered with some fellow writers over at the 94 Feet Report (94feetreport.com).

The league has 16 teams in it, 13 players each and is a dynasty league, which I’ve never done before. Here’s how it went down for your boy.

Round	Pick No.	Overall Pick	Player Selected
1	8	8	Kevin Durant
2	9	25	LaMarcus Aldridge
3	8	40	Kyle Lowry
4	9	57	Nikola Vucevic
5	8	72	Harrison Barnes
6	9	89	JJ Redick
7	8	104	Darren Collison
8	9	121	Domantis Sabonis
9	8	136	TJ Warren
10	9	153	Rodney Hood
11	8	168	Trey Burke
12	9	185	Marcus Morris
13	8	200	Wayne Ellington

You might be wondering, how did Durant drop to 8th? Who went in front of him? Well here's a list of the top 16 picks.

1. Giannis Antetokounmpo
2. Anthony Davis
3. Karl-Anthony Towns
4. Nikola Jokic
5. LeBron James
6. James harden
7. Steph Curry
8. Kevin Durant
9. Victor Oladipo
10. Russell Westbrook
11. Kawhi Leonard
12. Damian Lillard
13. Ben Simmons
14. Joel Embiid
15. Paul George
16. Kyrie Irving

So how’d I do? I think my first five picks were solid, and I’m satisfied with Redick and Collison. I’m excited to see how Warren will play in a small-forward melting pot over in Phoenix, and I’m excited to see how much Sabonis improved in the off season for Indiana. Towards the end of the draft the player pool started to thin out, so my last few picks were definitely some flyers. I think Hood will do well now that he is a viable offensive option in Cleveland, but I’m not sold on Burke and his fit in New York.

Stay tuned for updates, as the league play starts October 16th. Also stay tuned for a breakdown of my other fantasy league!
