  1. Does anyone know when ESPN Fantasy will release multiple position eligibility for players

  2. Hi Josh, i recently just purhased the Basketball Monster Membership, but viewing at your projection JJJ is still ranked 12, but you say he should only be taken at the end of second round. I am wondering where to look at your supposed where-to-take on Basketball Monster?

  3. I agree with Josh – Desmond Bane should be late 3rd round at best, Zach Lavine could probably be going early 4th round, but seems to be dropping to the 5th round. Desmond Bane going late 2nd and Zach in the 5th is too big of a discrepancy just because of Bane's higher upside. I also wouldn't choose Chet in the 4th round as there are too many players that are more of a guaranteed high contributor in the 4th round that taking a risk on a 1st year player, isn't a smart decision in my opinion. I like McCollum much higher than where he's being taken, as I agree with Brendon, McCollum being the point guard has not had the opportunity to have a full team to pass too. A healthy Zion and Ingram could get him closer to what his goal was last year, when he stated he was confident he could get 10 apg. His FT % has gone up since two years ago – and could get back into 80% this year. He's a shooter (close to 40% 3ppg), which is different than what Westbrook is.
