I'm trying to get into the draftkings scene and have a good general knowledge of the game but am curious as to who you guys think are the most/least exploitable.

EDIT: I should have clarified, but I'm talking starters or players who play substantial minutes. Thanks

Defenders or defensive players? If it's the latter (not strictly trying to lock down one opposing player):

PG:

Beverly (best)
Tony Parker (worst)

SG:

Tony Allen
Kobe Bryant

SF:

Leonard
Belinelli

PF:

Duncan
Not sure

C:

Bogut
Al Jefferson

I'm sure there are plenty of end-of-the-bench scrubs worse than the mentioned players, but we obviously don't see it. These are all big name players.

C - Kanter

You know, I think I remember seeing Kanter at the bottom of the metric lists (though this was about a month ago so it could have changed).

I haven't seen a lot of Jazz games, but he is terrible. Snyder doesn't seem to like playing him from what I can tell.

EDIT: also, I can't get behind the Dwight mentions. He hasn't impressed at all this season and there were a good handful of players better last year.

He once said LeBron should have a DPOY every year he's in the league, because guarding the most positions makes you the best defender.

Avery Bradley is so elite as a defender he has to be on there. Allen, Butler, Lebron, Davis and Gasol are probably the most consistent game in, game out. There's others who can have the odd incredible night.

Pau has been very good this year. But he doesn't have any real case over Duncan (who is arguably the DPOY right now), and not much of one over guys like Nene, Ibaka (as overrated as he is), Favors, Morris, et al.

Just my opinion though. List looks good otherwise.
