Recently, a bunch of sports reporters got together to have a "pre" Fantasy NBA Draft...Manu Ginobili was taken #29!

A few weeks ago, I noticed another "pre" Fantasy NBA Draft in which Ginobili was drafted 42nd!

Why is it that people don't see all of the intangibles a guy like Manu brings to the table (both Fantasy BKB wise and in real ife)?

I didn't like the way he played during the Championship series vs. the Nets a few years back (only because he single handedly outplayed everyone on the Nets' roster), but it doesn't mean I think he isn't a good player.

taking him at #29 is a complement I think.
considering there's 30 teams in the NBA it would mean that a few teams would have missed out on having their best player in the list.
Plus I think he's becoming less and less underrated. He's widely regarded as a good player now.

I still think Marion is one of the most underrated players in the league. 19.4ppg and a whopping 11.3rebs for a dude that is 6'7" <-- he averaged almost 3 more rebounds per game than Amare did last season.

Ginobili is a great player and I'm sure lots of teams would love to have him on their roster. I personally can't stand watching the guy play. He has an awkward offensive game that is highly effective, yet drab. He dribbles and shoots awkwardly, floating and leaning and hesitating and bobbling around.. He draws a lot of fouls, and he seems to either be on the floor or on the free throw line for much of the game. I just don't like watching him play.. He seems to milk every little aspect of the game, finding space where there shouldn't be any and making contact when it doesn't seem necessary. So I guess, I'm probably not making sense here but in summary, the guy is good, but I don't like him and I wouldn't draft him or watch him play unless it was forced upon me!
