Argumentative Essay About Fantasydraft

Improved Essays
There may be 10 games on the board tonight, but there’s really only two contests that DFSers should really study in order to find some value. We found a ton of value in Memphis and Sacramento. So much value in fact, that we had euros not dollars left over in our FantasyDraft budget. We’re still trying to figure out how best to spend that money, so if you have any suggestions, ship them our way. Nothing high tech though.

HOU - $12,900

Lost among all the stud point guards available on Friday is little, old Isaiah Thomas. The All Star point guard has seen better days of late, but both Boston and Houston are some of the fastest teams in the Assocation. Patrick Beverley is a pretty solid defender, but there is just too much pace is this game.

Forwards/Centers

Anthony Davis, NO at MEM - $17,500

With the exception of Kevin Durant in a potential blowout, the Brow is the run away favorite as the top big man/big money play on the board. Sure, there’s the injury risk factor. But there’s also the 39 prorated points per game that he is averaging when sharing the court with Jrue Holiday.

It’s important to note that I did not include Holiday under the guard section. If Norris Cole does indeed sit again, it goes without saying that shot-chucking Holiday ($14,800) is a near autoplay.

In other news, head coach Alvin Gentry still has his job.

Brook Lopez, BKN at PHI - $13,800

Does Lopez just not box out anymore? It would seem that way considering the lack of rebounds he has been able to pull down over the last couple weeks. His recent rebounding ability, or lack thereof, is the only downside in Friday night’s matchup with the league’s most forgiving

Starting guard Reggie Jackson scored a game-high 30 points and an assists short to finished the game with a double-double to lead the Pistons to their 32nd win in 63 games played this season.

    Although Stephen Curry has clearly proven to be great, Russell is still far superior in his athleticism, finishing, and defense. In my perspective, I consider Westbrook to be the best point guard in the NBA. What really makes this fearless point guard stand out the most is his monstrous athleticism. He only stands at a staggering 6’3, yet he is capable of jumping over 37.5 inches in the air. This allows him to use his quickness and hops to maneuver around his defenders to get anywhere on the court.…

To support my claims I use evidence from expert researchers and certified doctors.…

    A lot of controversy surrounds the discussion of “the best NBA player of all time.” Most people will agree on Michael Jordan for his plethora of championships, MVPs, records, and much more.
