Draft of the Pork

I have no strategy coming into the draft... all I know is that I had to have Dwight Howard no matter what since I'm a big time Magic fan... I even considered taking him with my number 1 pick.

Anyway,

1 Dirk - was an easy choice here since he fell to me at number 5. I wanted AK or T-Mac at this spot, but don't mind having the Dirk Diggler.

2 Paul Pierce - I regret this pick... I'll lose in TO every week for sure, but his overall numbers could not be passed at this spot. I considered Hughes here and maybe I should have.

3 D How - D Who? D Howard. Yeah, I got him.

4 Rasheed - Hmmm, don't really like him, but I was desperate to get a decent Center at this point.

5 Stephen Jackson - I figure I needed some 3s... and between him and Sheed, that just killed my FG%

6 Marquis Daniels - I was going to get Childress since I penciled him as my sleeper... but saw Marquis on the board and I heard from somewhere that this year he's healthy and he has triple double potential every night. Now I have two Mavericks. I hope Childress comes back to me on the next round

7 Amare - Childress was drafted right before my pick... argh... and then I made a desperate move... picking an injured player thinking you'll always have hit or miss in your draft anyway and Amare is a hit when he comes back for fantasy playoffs. Thinking I will stash him in the IL and pick up a FA. Anyway, just found out there might not be an IL in yahoo. So this is a wasted pick if that's the case. Should have picked Ridnour at this spot ( I don't have a PG yet)

8 D. Miles - I hope he breaks out this year and pumps his fist on his forehead... a lot.

9 L. Wright - needed a C, no other explanation.

10 Telfair - I really wanted TJ Ford here but was taken few picks before mine. Telfair is my starting PG at this point. Not a good thing.

11 Sam Cassel - I needed another PG. I don't like Sam I am, but supposedly Livingston is injured, so old man gets to run the point.

12 K. Cato - last pick and I needed another C and since I'm a Magic fan... anyway, already dropped him for Turkey Glue.

Overall, I'm content with the team, except for the Amare pick. I'd say B-

On another note: just moved to a new home, no cable (no TNT or ESPN), no internet, wife is giving birth soon, 2 jobs (with supervised internet), 1 fantasy football team and 3 fantasy basketball teams... life is so complicated.
