Yup, LeBron can play at pretty much any position that's what makes him so valuable. If we're going strictly by box score positioning or height based then he's gonna be a forward, right? We have lists to make here.

or you can go by depth charts, minutes logged, where players are voted on all nba teams, etc. not where you can plug a guy in NBA 2k15.

L.A. Chieffan · 11-07-2014, 03:13 PM

You should probably tell these guys that Hayward isn't a shooting guard. How silly of them!

I mean he's 6' 8".. 6' 8"! 6' 8" people can't play guard!

Give me some sleepers for my NBA fantasy team. Preferably a SF. Or any up & coming guys that block shots and don't miss. (league penalizes for missed shots and get 1 pt for pts, 3 for blks)

I have Danilo Galinari on the bench who is taking longer to get into form than perhaps expected, and not playing very many minutes.

MKG? or even deeper?

You're going to reference some site that has Klay Thompson as the #10 SG, and Evan Turner #8? I assume this was before last season, but still a ridiculous ranking. You're not helping yourself.

Hayward played some 2 last year, with Marvin Williams and R. Jefferson at the 3. But he's play the 3 this year, with Burke and Burks in the back court. Perhaps this is a better source than Complex.com

Deeper league, 10 team league with 3 utility guys and like 4 or 5 bench guys. Strictly based on points head to head.

I've even kicked around adding that flash in the pan who is filling in for Martel Webster & Brad Beal for the Wizards.

BIG PAPA DA GOD- Houston Rockets

L.A. Chieffan · 11-07-2014, 04:04 PM

Is Anthony Davis available? J/k..if you're looking for blocks, I've noticed that Bogut and Robin Lopez are undervalued. If you're looking for SF try maybe Draymond Green or Giannis

Whoever the hell these people are.

You should probably tell the Utah Jazz team site that Hayward isn't a forward.

His own team lists him as a forward. And not a guard/forward - although they clearly have that designation.

Yeah thanks, might pull the trigger on Draymond Green, he is available. He's had a pretty good start, but doubt he will out perform a healthy or even semi healthy Galinari but who knows if Galinari is going to get minutes.

He played "some" 2 last year? Here's another advanced metric site that breaks Hayward minutes down by position

http://www.82games.com/1314/13UTA8.HTM

He played 65% of his minutes at the two spot. Not only that but his PER was higher at 2 than it was at 3

KC_Connection · 11-07-2014, 05:54 PM

Top 10 SGs:
1. Harden
2. Wade
3. Ginobili (I still take his 25 minutes a game over anybody below him)
4. Bryant
5. Thompson
6. Stephenson
7. DeRozan (Has turned himself into a good scorer to my surprise, but takes too many bad shots and can't play defense)
8. Matthews
9. J. Johnson
10. Ellis

Tough to make this list, so weak. The shell versions of Wade, Kobe, and Ginobili are all still better than the rest of the crop (although I expect Thompson to change that this year).
