Hello everyone,

I am in a 20 team league, and my draft is today. I am the 15th in the Draft Order, and most of the managuers in the league are very experienced.

So, I have a question in my mind who keep me awake every night to make my 1st pick. I definitely want a PG so...

Ty Laswon or Kyrie Irving?

I'd go with Ty Lawson because is in contract year and also has SG eligibility but Kyrie Irving is ahead in a lot of rankings so.....what do you think? Any other suggestion for the 1st pick?

Thanks a lot!

It's pretty unlikely that Kyrie will be there at 15, so you probably don't have to worry about this one. 

Also, I wouldn't get hung up on having to get a PG with your first pick. just take the best player and go from there. There are plenty of  decent PGs this year. 

Can't really give targets without knowing your scoring settings though.

If the managers are "very experienced" then by the time it's your turn, both players should not still be undrafted so you won't have a problem. Both may be taken by the time it's your turn too.

Not much between them so go Lawson with the reason you stated.

Thanks to both. Actually, I would said 10-12 of the Managers are "experienced".  5 o 6 are newbies so there is a chance that I would have something better than my actual position in the draft (15th), and I know these guys (the "newbies") tend to choose "big names" instead of "big stats", so I was thinking that maybe Irving would be available.

Also, my league is a 9-cat league.

One more thing, I was thinking in Lawson and Irving because they are PG with pretty decent %FG  and %FT...

After Lawson's playoffs series, I feel he's going to break out and be an All-Star this year. Iriving can make it too but I think he's a season off. PGs don't usually become elite until their 3rd seasons.
