This is the last of the "starter" rounds, so we're getting into the territory where some of these picks could end up on waiver wires at some point this year. Even so, there were some solid picks in the bunch.
Sam Hauss was clearly following our rankings like gospel and came away with a team full of interesting sleeper picks. Enter "homer" pick every now and again in fantasy sports, and I guess you could call this mine as the resident Canadian of the bunch. That said, I still believe this was a steal for Amir. His rebounds, blocks, and field goal percentage are excellent this deep in the draft and he's cracked the top 100 in value in three of the last four years. Some are afraid of Patrick Patterson displacing Amir as the starter because of his solid contributions and ability to stretch the floor, but there are no signs of that happening as of yet. Amir comes in as our 74th-ranked player for 2014-15 and that makes me feel amazing about this pick.
