Let's all look at Chris Paul's stat line and solemnly acknowledge his greatness:
33 points on 13/21 shooting. 7 rebounds, 15 assists with 2 turnovers and 5(!) steals. Not to mention playing 43 minutes after a concussion. Settle down baller!
This was by far his best line all season. Not sure why his scoring is so low this year. Not like NO has a better option.

went undefeated in one league, top 99.7% percentile over all leagues, thanks klove and cp3.
my other two leagues i had 1 loss in each of them :D
I really regret drafting CP3 with the second pick although it was unavoidable.

what? He's still - and he's injured - still one of the absolute best in fantasy. Probably still #1. Why would you regret drafting him?

CP3 isn't getting to the rack as much, an I think he is (intelligently) avoiding contact. He used to explode to the basket like Rose does, but now he pulls a bait and switch on defenders to get his teammates open looks.

Obv there was no possible way I could've had the foresight to do this but I had the option of getting someone like Lebron with the 2nd pick then getting two PGs in a row, something like Rose/Westbrook, Westbrook/Nash, etc and it would've worked out better. I'm too used to seeing lackluster CP3 lines this year.

I have dorell wright too, so i have the league leader in threes, rebounds, and steals,

well of course that heavily depends on how everyone else drafted. But even knowing that CP3 has been hurt he's still the #1 Fantasy PG by a wide margin. Besides his scoring being down what else is it that you don't like about having him?

Same, I have him in 2 of my 3 leagues. Someone dropped him in one of them and I snatched him up asap.

CP3 has great percentages but he doesn't take enough shots for them to matter. He can and has won the steals category single handedly for me many weeks. Basically pg is a deep position and there are a bunch of guys who can provide bundles of assists and steals. If those are the only categories I knew I would be getting from him, drafting him with the second pick just seems a little high. With pretty much every other player I have I've gotten exactly what I expected (Bogut, Stephen Jackson, Nash, Luol Deng) with some overachievers like Humphries, Dorell Wright, Fields, Horford etc. Even Hibbert who hasn't played great has improved significantly from last year. CP3 is the only guy I kinda expected more out of (aside from Robin Lopez lol). But again there was no way anyone would not have drafted him with the 2nd pick.

Actually in terms of assists there aren't many that dish out that many. Currently he's at 9.7 with 3 others above him in double digit assist numbers. Of course steals are a major bonus since it's such a scarce category.
I don't know what you mean by not getting what you expected though. Remember one of the reasons people pick CP3 with a top 2 pick is because he does everything well. He has no weaknesses and you can build any kind of team around him.
The "bad" parts about him are that he isn't as strong a rebounding PG this year from the last dropping to 3.9 from 4.2 and that he's hitting less 3 pointers than last year a long with the major drop in scoring. Otherwise with him you are going to be near the top in: assists, steals, both % relative to other guards, still in the top 10 among rebounding guards (8), still the best in TOs, and with every guard not named Wilson Chandler or Dwayne Wade suffer in blocks. You pick him over having both Westbrook and Rose because you get a ton of production in 82 games at an elite level instead of using 164 games to get elite stats.
EDIT: This is the ESPN official player rater http://games.espn.go.com/fba/playerrater?
Usually use it as a loose guide but CP3 is ranked #1 over the year while being injured. If you could see the same ranking with TOs added he's still #1. Trust me CP3 even now would cause a riot in a league if anyone traded him.

Chris Paul's scoring is down to the lowest its been since his rookie year, 16.1 ppg. But he is taking way fewer shots and sort of changing his game. I don't know if he ever had Rose's explosive first step but it was definitely among the best in the league. That's seemingly gone at the moment and he's making due with his best-in-the-world handles and sweet angle mastery.

dorell wright fantasy mvp?

yea, no doubt, there was a period he was nearing triple doubles every night, gotta love GSW style, he got all the numbers David Lee didnt want to collect.
|
D-Wright is a beast but there was a looong stretch before the all star break when he'd shoot 30% every night and score < 20 pts. He eventually turned it around and became way more consistent until after the all star break when he sorta went back to those inconsistent shooting nights again. All the while though he's provided valuable stats in other categories that more than makes up for his low %.
Also Humphries is beast.
|
Fantasy MVP is definitely Kevin Love.

love gsw basketball <3. offense vs orlando then defense versus the wolves. but seriously if you havent seen the orlando game you guys have to catch it
|
Good game by Miami tonight, I don't know why Lebron and Wade ever pass to anyone other than each other. Of course, Clips lost by 30 too. Things are as they should be, I suppose.

John wall just shows how amazing Derrick Rose really is. Everyone thought Wall would be better then Rose (Better shooter/Better defender/ same athletism) Now admitidly Rose had a better supporting cast when he first got to Chicago (they went 33-49 the year before rose got there) Washinton went 26-56 last year, and are currently 16-49, which is on track to do worse, great players dont make there team worse 
All in all Wall seems really solid, just another number in the Golden Age of point guards. In any other era he might of been the next super PG. But in this era with all the super PG's (Rose/Dwill/CP3/Westbrook/Rondo) Then Really solid PGs like Steph Curry and Jennings. Then the oldies Nash/JK, he will be just another PG.

The first thing that came to my mind from that story is how cheap Donald Sterling is...
