Unless, of course, you’re the sucker in your league, in which case it makes perfect sense why you picked Spud Webb in the draft.Finishing 3rd in the NBA's Central Division of the Eastern Conference Grab him late and ditch him off to the sucker in your league the first time he gets on the 10 o’clock news for dunking. Among the two famous Spuds, Webb is the less famous, but his fame is slightly more warranted (only slightly). … That being said, 31/6/3 is more exciting than Yo! MTV Raps (which I have not started watching yet, but am told it will make me about 42 percent cooler whenever I start).įantasy Sleeper – Spud Webb. In short, I blame Reggie Theus first, Moses Malone second and the All-Star Weekend Dunk Contest third.īiggest Fantasy Contributor in ’88 – Dominique Wilkins. Backing up in this case, I assume, means giving up his seat on the bench to Wilkins during timeouts.įantasy Disappointment in ’88 – Dominique Wilkins.

I had Wilkins ranked somewhere between 8-13 on most draft boards and each day we get closer to the regular season, I’ve pushed him closer to the 11-16 range. ![]() Theus will pass, but it always seems a begrudging transaction. ‘Nique needs the ball and can play the two or the three. But Theus needs the ball and can play the two or the three. Malone’s a banger, a scrapper he’ll create his own offense on missed jumpers. I’m more worried about Theus butting up against Wilkins than Malone. That’s not to say I don’t think Wilkins is the best player on this team, but this team got two solid players and solid players don’t usually disappear. Is ‘Nique still a top 10 pick with Malone and Theus on board?Ĭoming into this season, there are only two storylines following the Hawks: 1) Wilkins is overrated and 2) Wilkins is going to drown playing next to Malone and Theus.
