Anyone playing this?

Interesting game where you can only pick a player once a season. Score based on Points + Rebounds + Assists.

I went:
Day 1: Baron Davis (39 points, 5th highest of day)
Day 2: Vince Carter (39 points, 9th highest of day)

Why those guys? Hey, gotta get BDiddy and Vinsanity before they gimp out.

Of course, I don't plan to use all the studs early, but figure those were decent early plays.

Even with those two, I'm still only ranked 5613. Man.

Looks like its just me and you soetal1.

Week 1 went ok:
Baron Davis - 39
Vince Carter - 39
Amare Stoudemire - 35
Al Thorton - 9 (x2 for 18)
Jason Terry - 22
Chris Wilcox - 26

Overall not too bad.

Week two, I'm going to go with 2nd and 3rd tier stars and another rook, probably Scola.

Under the "HAHA, I thought I was being all slick" Category:

I filled out my picks yesterday for this coming week. I just looked and 3 of my picks are the same as the "Experts" picks. Damn copy cats. ;) (They were the Richard Jefferson, John Salmons and Jamal Crawford picks. I figured (and maybe they did too) to get them while they are hot.)

Well, last week wasnt too bad, except Monday's choice of Luis Scola which sucked goat nads.

Luis Scola - 8 (Yes, thats 8 with the 2x multiplier...ugh)
Drew Gooden - 27
Mike Dunleavy - 23
Richard Jefferson - 31
Carlos Boozer - 46
John Salmons - 23
Jamal Crawford - 18

This week, I only have 1 similar pick (Kaman) to what the "experts" have.

As of last night, I picked Deron Williams, Rashard Lewis, Rip Hamilton, Tyrus Thomas, Caveman Kaman, Shaq and Jamrio Moon. Trying to get Moon moved up before he comes back to reality, but just don't like the matchups.

I'm currently in the 73rd percentile. I ended last week somewhat pitifully -

Jose Barea - 10
Daniel Gibson -28
Josh Smith - 36
Richard Jefferson - 31
Yakhouba Diawara - 9
Rashard Lewis - 21
Jamal Crawford - 18

I've got Hedo Turkoglu & Stephon Marbury picked to start off this week.

Deron Williams - 16
Rashard Lewis - 31
Rip Hamilton - 31
Tyrus Thomas - 10
Caveman Kaman - 34
LaMarcus Aldridge - 30
Jamario Moon - 38 (19 x 2)

Chickened out of Shaq, Tyrus Thomas sucks rocks and Deron went out for lunch on this game. Pretty decent on the rest, beating most of their averages by a point or two.
