Give Shae Cronin a break on his Dejounte Murray pick here, since he made it before news broke that Murray had torn his ACL and would be out for the season. We had Murray pegged as a top sleeper prior to the injury as well.
Jay Kim made an excellent choice with Kris Dunn at 63, as we project him to crush his 87.7 ADP with a 49th-ranked finish. Dunn is one of our top breakout candidates this year.
Same goes for Enes Kanter. Jordan Sharp got him right around his 68.3 ADP at pick 65, but we have him projected to finish all the way up at 36th overall.
Jeff Teague at 72 is also a very nice pick in this range by Ian Goldsmith, considering we have him projected 40th overall.
My pick: Taurean Prince was the 41st-ranked player in nine-category leagues after the All-Star break last season, and 26th over the last month. To say I was thrilled to get him with the 71st pick would be an understatement. We have him projected 86th, but that doesn't scare me off in this range. His 101.0 ADP makes him a high-upside pick in the middle to late rounds, any way you slice it.
