Sleepers in NBA Live 06?

Postby Celtics34 on Wed Feb 15, 2006 7:29 am

what are some players that i should go after that aren't rated incredibly high, but are very good in the game? i am gunna do a fantasy draft real soon, i got really bored of my old franchise when Paul Pierce tore his ACL and Al Jefferson broke his right knee IN THE 1st GAME OF THE 2nd SEASON

so i am starting all over. and do you think it is too cheap to automatically give yourself first pick?

and also, who do you recommend with the 1st pick? (i'm thinking LeBron, KG, or Kobe)

Although Kobe is the ultimate, go with either LeBron or someone like Bosh. A guy that'll develop into a monster. Kobe is at his prime, whereas LeBron gets to like 99, I think.

yea thats what i was leaning towards, Wade was also a consideration, but i just cant say no to LeBron

aight i got him, and my next pick was Bosh.. now what do you guys recommend i should get? i got a great inside/outside duo that is also very young, should i get a complementary scorer or a playmaker? i'm going towards playmaker, but what are some of your opinions?

You got bored of a challenge?




Anyway... Kevin Martin is a sleeper, if you work on him, he can become a high flyer rated in the mid 80s by the sixth season or so.

it wasnt just cuz of the fact that Pierce/Jefferson were injured, i just needed a change and wanted new players, thats all. its hard to get an inside presence with the current Celtics roster, and thats what i wanted, with a PG and a solid bench. now i have it (see my other thread)

ya, young centers are great to go for after you've drafted stars. There arent many high rated younger centers in this game. In my celtics dynasty i originally drafted Okafor and Stromile Swift as my C's and PF's. My SF was of course LeBron, with my backcourt being Martell Webster at the SG and Gilbert Arenas at the Point, with Desmond Mason coming off the bench. I then made a couple trades and got Eddie Curry at Center and moved Okafor to PF, then got Tony Parker as my PG and Larry Hughes as my SG, of course i no longerh have swift, arenas, or webster.

I do recommend though, if you plan on playing your games in your dynasty, that you draft cliff robinson. He will be a great asset towards guiding your team to a title in the first two seasons. He can score from anywhere on the floor, and can literally play C, PF, or SF. I often found myself in my first season (when i had Okafor, Swift, James, Webster, and Arenas) subbing out Webster, moving James to SG, and playing Cliff Robinson at the SF. When you run SF based plays, hes always open and if hes not he shoots right over Other SF's. Robinson is great because he can come in at any position. I ended up winning the title and in was in part because of Robinson being my Sixth or Seventh man.

In my opinion for the playmaker position you can wait till 4th or 5th round to get Paul. He is a marvelous choice for sure.

I don't play fantasy league but, some weeks ago i tried one.

My starting 5 was:Paul(4th)-Richardson(3rd)-Artest(2nd)-KG(1st)-Przybilla(6th) and i had M.Miller(5th)-Nocioni(7th)-Diaw(8th)-Watson(9th)-E.Thomas(10th)-Diop(11th)-Someone(12th) on the bench.

As you can see it's a team that can both create perfect offensive and defensive plays. It's not hard to create a fantastic team from fantasy draft. Hope my team can give you some advice about your choices.

nah, i didnt need him. He is a scorer, a number one option and with LeBron being my clear scorer, i felt i needed somebody that could help set up LeBron, and also set up Emeka Okafor, so i decided to get a better number 2 or 3 option guy (Larry Hughes) to fill my shooting guard void and then get a set up man (parker, who can also score, and in my dynasty is only 24 /ryhmes). I felt it was a great trade because i got a stronger overal starting unit. I get a very big and powerful center in curry, and then i keep my 2nd scoring option of Okafor, and of course keep LeBron, and then get his compliment at SG (instead of the 71 webster at SG) and the playmaker Tony Parker.
