Keep ending up having to choose between these three amigos in my 12-team 9cat leagues (and in most of which I could really use another good big), and finding it a tricky call.
Holmes has that allure of the highest upside scenario (combined with the afterglow of last season), Dieng has the dripfeed low level production to tide us over with nice upside beyond that if & when Taj Gibson collapses in a heap, and Monroe you get 1 okay game, 1 big game and 1 DNP-CD in every 3. That works out decently in my games-cap rotos because they don't play him at all in the 3rd and doesn't count against the cap.
Any thoughts folks? Bru has obviously discussed all three ad nauseum, but not necessarily ranking them against each other.
You could maybe throw Jamychal Green in with this group too. I was assuming him a firm hold given his wide open opportunity and top 75 upside, but he's had an extremely slow start in the defensive categories. Thought he could keep things ticking along with maybe 1 combined steals/blocks but he's nowhere near.
Monroe is my pick, mostly because if we hear during the day that Chandler is out, or Len is out, Greg is going to get his 24+ mins and be a top-90 guy (or better). I like just popping him in there for his big games. Works out great in roto, as you noted above.
