Rudy gay is a solid pick to start the third round, this is right where his average draft position is and should prove to be decent value.  I cant say that I love the Paul Pierce pick at #26. Pierce is aging fast and is not the player he used to be. I would feel more comfortable taking Pierce in the 4th round. Stephen Curry is a player I tend to stay away from due to the fact that he is extremely fragile, and chances are he will spend some time sidelined with an injury at some point this season, however its tough to pass on Curry in the third round. If Curry manages to remain healthy all year, he should certainly outperform this pick at #27. Bynum is currently dealing with some knee injuries but like I have said before, he is the second best big man in the game right now. Great pick at #28.  Iguodala went at #29, he is now in Denver after spending his entire career in Philly. I do not anticipate a major drop in his production and am very comfortable with taking Iggy at #29. Joe Johnson is interesting at #30, he is now playing in Brooklyn, sharing a back-court with one of the games best point guards in Deron Williams. I believe you would be better served trying to scoop Joe up in the fourth round. Goran Dragic is interesting at #31. There is certainly a lot of buzz around Dragic in fantasy circles this offseason. He is now running the show in PHX after spending last year backing up Kyle Lowry in Houston. Im looking for a breakout year from Dragic and think he will provide third round value this season, solid pick. Greg Monroe at #32 may be the best pick of this round. Look for Monroe to have a monster year and return second round value.  Jrue Holiday was taken at #33 by yours truly. I would have loved to have Monroe here, but Holiday was the next best thing. He has improved each year in this league and I expect Jrue to become a household name this season playing with an elite big man in Bynum. Look for Jrue to return second round value.,  The next two picks went to Kemba Walker and Jeremy Lin. I think both went way to early, and I have both pegged as busts for this season. Rounding out the third round is Mike Conley, who unlike Walker or Lin, provides great value at the end of the third round. Look for Conley to improve on his solid year last year.
