Now I'm tempted to take BG and stash him inside Shaq's carcass on my roster until he is ready to ball...

I really like Kaman and Hibbert of all your options. Kaman will get you more boards, but Hibbert has huge potential to block many more shots. Kaman is more of a known quantity who has immediate value, Hibbert could be a bit more erratic. Your PGs are very fine. Ride out Redd till he drops or trade him after a few weeks. @FK: D-Ho without FT% is a dream! I really like Kaman and Hibbert of all your options.

I like your lineup. I'd look to trade Duncan later in the season, since he'll get some DNPs despite their awesome playoff schedule. Also, if you slot in Augustin, your threes look a bit stronger. Kaman will be a boon now that Griffin is out. I don't like Chandler, so you could try to package him in a deal and get some threes in return. I like Gasol this year, so grabbing him would work well too. You lack assists a bit, but solid team. @rangerjohn: Nice results, though yes, Blair that high is funny. I like your lineup.

Nash at No. 18 is good and though Iguodala at No. 19 is a bit early, I have no problem with it. They should both have big seasons. The Bynum and Bargnani picks are great, and I like Chandler going into this season. I actually like your Lowry pick at No. 163. He might split minutes with Aaron Brooks, but Lowry had a solid preseason and will surprise a lot of people this year. Douglas-Roberts and Blake is a fine way to round out an 18-man draft. So overall, good work, especially if this is your first draft ever! You seem set with threes and blocks and your percentages should be solid. You are relying on a lot of players-formerly-known-as sleepers in Chandler, Rush and Hibbert, but even if two of those come through, you should be OK. I'd suggest to ride out your roster for a week or two and then consider tweaking it. For now it seems ready to at least compete in an 18-man league. @tp land: I think the top half of your roster is pretty solid.

We're in a roto league that starts 2 C's and has 2 utility spaces. Of note, FT% is NOT a category for us. At center I have D-12, Troy Murphy and Scola, but would like to carry a 4th. Right now I have Shaq on the roster (hence the no FT being a good thing) but available on the wire are Kaman, Anderson and Roy Hibbert (who I think will contribute). Any advice between them? My other option would be to take a 4th PG (Ford) to compliment Harris, Rose and Rondo Or take insurance for a guy like Redd with Ariza or Deng) Confused.
