I can probably move Drummond to get Turner in return.

Turner has been pretty underwhelming, so I'm thinking of buying low on him. I know Turner says he's not 100%, and will do better, but just looking at their current averages, I'm having a hard time sending the offer.

Myles gets an extra block a game, can chip in a 3 and has better FT%, but Drummond is getting twice the rebounds, a few more assists and 1.4 more steals per game and has insane durability.

Am I crazy? Is it hands-down Turner here?

Comes down to wether you believe AD can maintain his FT% or rpg thus far. Id expext some regression towards last season avgs (but anyones guess how much).

Id expect Turner to end the season above Drummond. Check out todays hoopball podcast for a discussion on this very topic (buy low/sell high) and second guessing these kinds of decisions. I would be closing my eyes, clicking accept and never looking at drummonds stats for the rest of the season.

FT%...yeah, that'll probably come down a bit more, but I think he can stay at 55% or higher...the nice thing is he's not shooting 7 per game like he had in past years. The rebounding I think is sustainable - I think it's only one higher per game or so...but he's getting 3-5 more minutes per game this year.

The fact that he's only missed 3 games the past four seasons is hard for me to overlook too. Not that Myles is really a guy we'd call injury-prone (I think this concussion was really the only thing he's missed time for), but Drummond reminds me of a boulder...I just roll him out there every night and he gives me 15 and 15. That consistency...

Haha, funny you mention the podcast, I just fired it up 🙂

Yahoo shows his avgs as 2rpg higher this season. He has also shot 7 FT for the past 2 weeks vs 4.5 on the year (and last season).

As his %'s drop off id expect teams to be more willing to risk fouling him.

All depends on the rest of your squad production around steals blocks too. Do you need 1.5/1.5, or would 2blocks from myles be more useful. In my roto league i'm first in steals by 20 already this season, and almost last in blocks... so would go Myles.

I think I gotta go Myles, here. He's definitely not back to full strength from the concussion, but we know what he can do when he is!
