How did 8 become 15?

well, I'll clearly beat you in turnovers. And I'll probably beat you in FT%. And the extra games from the centers will have little impact on 3-pointers, steals, and assists. So, I beat you 5-4. And, I have a shot in FG%, depending on how many shots your centers take. Points . . . if your centers score 8 points a game, I could probably overcome that due to my scorers everywhere else. If your centers score 12 points a game, you'd probably win that one. I'll concede blocks . . . unless Camby is healthy that week.

Before they were often worth the risk, but not now.

not when you have marcus camby

i had him last year, and everytime he played i destroyed my opponent (camby's patented 12 point, 22 rebound, 7 block games are nice)

I'll lose turnovers. I concede those gladly.

It's not just the centers, it's just the sheer number of games played.

It's up to me to make sure I don't lose those % categories. That's part of the game.

if this guy is healthy for a whole week, he is an absolute monster. i'm not even kidding. (he's averaging 4.5 blocks in 21 min played in preseason)

Camby was the #1 fantasy player in the whole league for almost a month last season.

ya i remember....he had such a wide lead that he was still ranked number 1 for a while after he went down with some injury (something to his pinky? or was that later on in the season lol)

So many people lost their leagues by holding onto him too long praying for his return.

In the past, they could have stashed him on IR instead of ruining their seasons.

absolutely, it's a tradeoff. I can also possibly pick up a couple of games played on you because I have more players that qualify at the other four positions, and that'll be important if you suffer an injury or two. And some weeks, your centers will all play on the same days, so you wouldn't be able to take advantage of the extra centers. It's just a trade-off; I just don't think that I need to concede defeat simply because I just have two centers. There are ways to make up for it. It may not leave much room for error, but it is certainly feasible.

I only have one center.

The rest are PFs that qualify for C, PF, F.

If you play enough less games you make things next to impossible for yourself.

It's just something to keep in mind when you draft.

Also, some of the players you already have may gain eligiblity during the season.

Boris Diaw certainly was not a center in last years draft.
