So round 6 is kicked off with Tim Duncan. Hard to believe he is still going strong but in round 6 he gives you some pretty decent value. Safe pick without a incredibly high ceiling.

Ken Faried is a player who is coming into this seasons with big expectations. Seems like every fantasy expert out there is pegging this as a huge breakout year for the manimal. I don't disagree and love this pick early in the 6th.

Hibbert is actually a guy who fell a little bit in this draft. Solid value here in the 6th.

Lou Williams was selected by yours truly. Williams should see more playing this year in Atlanta than he did with Philly and look for him to capitalize on that.

Kris Humphries is a guy who  never seems to get the respect he deserves. The guy has pretty much been good for a double double every night for the past few years. He finds himself in a crowded front court this year and that may finally slow him down, but worth a shot in the sixth round.

Klay Thompson was great last year if you were able to pick him up mid-year and ride him the rest of the way. With Monta out of town, and Stefan Curry always hurt, look for Golden State to rely on Klay for scoring this year.

OJ Mayo is a guy I have pegged for a breakout season this year in Dallas and I love this pick in the 6th round.

The next three picks are pretty standard in Zach Randolph, Manu Ginobli and Kevin Garnett although you can possibly make the case that ZBO fell a little too far.

Brandon Knight is worth discussing here. The very talented youngster is entering his second year with Detroit. His rookie season had some ups and downs and proved not to be very relevant fantasy wise. This year should be different and he could be in line for a breakout. I wouldn't blame you for waiting another round in an attempt to target Knight in the 7th.

Bradley Beal rounds out the 6th round as a bit of a flier. He was selected 3 overall in this years NBA draft and as looked pretty good in the preseason. It will be interesting to see what happens when Wall is finally back in the fold.
