We are officially throwing darts.

Bryan Mears' K.J. McDaniels and Brandon Gdula's Henry Sims picks could be great value here, considering they're both projected as starters on a Philly team that moves so fast and racks up so many fantasy stats that Michael Carter-Williams looked like a superstar last year. I like them both as sleeper targets in the last round.

Other than that, Dion Waiters might not really be part of the best backcourt in the NBA, but he should get a lot of open shots in Cleveland this year. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope had a great summer and could be a high-upside final pick for as long as Jodie Meeks is sidelined with a stress reaction in his back as well.

Finally, Andrea Bargnani is apparently still a thing for some reason and that depresses me. *sigh*

My pick: Matt Barnes, SF - I'll take a shot on Barnes here as a starter for the Clippers and as someone who doesn't really hurt me anywhere. There's very little depth behind him at the small forward spot in LA as well, which means he should continue to get plenty of minutes. If his crappy preseason carries over into the regular season, though, it won't be long before I drop him to the wire for the first hot free agent.

Thus concludes our draft recap. Hope you had as much fun as we did. Let us know what you think of our picks and teams in the comment section and hit us up on Twitter for any and all of your fantasy hoops questions!
