More dart throws!
Guys like Milos Teodosic and Kyle Kuzma have won the Internet during the preseason, so they will be popular late-round fliers in drafts this weekend.
Patty Mills has the chance to have a strong start to the year, since Tony Parker is on the shelf.
I don't mind rookie fliers like Jayson Tatum and Josh Jackson this late in the draft, although I don't expect all that much from them in year one.
Maurice Harkless finished the 2016-17 season ranked 99th in nine-category leagues, but is being slept on with an ADP of 170.0, according to FantasyPros.com.
Rajon Rondo is a decent injury stash late.
My pick: I generally don't like guys coming off ACL tears, particularly those who predicate their game largely on athleticism, but I'll take a shot on Zach LaVine this late. He's going to miss half the season, but apparently his recovery is going well and he's now playing on a Bulls team with few other options.
