More dart throws!
Carmelo Anthony is ranked 161st in our projections. It's easy to see the potential ceiling from a guy that spent 12 consecutive seasons in the top-100 (mostly as an early-round asset), but the 124th-ranked finish last year as a relative focal point in Oklahoma City makes his new floor a little scary coming off the bench in Houston.
This is probably the last time we ever get to talk about Dirk Nowitzki in the context of a fantasy basketball draft. There's nothing to say really, but couldn't let his name go by without a mention heading into his 21st season (13 of which he spent as a top-10 asset in nine-category leagues).
Taj Gibson is ranked 88th in our projections. He's not a sexy pick by any means, but he probably shouldn't have lasted this long.
My pick: George Hill is one of our sleepers this year, ranking 91st in our projections. He may have finished 150th in nine-category leagues last season, but he was a mid- to early-round asset in each of the five seasons prior to that. He's a prime bounce-back candidate after a down year.
