I need some PG/Ast help at Util. First waivers process tonight. Reggie Jackson, Ish Smith and DJ Augustin are available... as well as Darius Garland. What do you guys think about Garland's upside? It appears that he's going to get some run. If you don't like him, do you guys have strong thoughts regarding the other three names?

Thanks for any help!

1. I missed out on thybulle and walker, do you guys recommend another rookie? Maybe Washington? Or Culver?

2. Huerter is still on the wire, also bertans. should I scoop them up? I'm thinking about dropping Winslow but I feel Winslow might play a big part on the heat. I'm in 12 team h2h 9cat.

3. Can Avery Bradley hold up the staring pg? And is he someone to watch out for?

10 man 9cat H2H had the 3rd pick in the draft. 3BN 1IL spot. Given it was my last draft before the season tip-off, wanted to be a bit risky. Initially draft was held before Zion’s surgery, but post the news he would be out for “weeks”.

1. James Harden
2. Paul George
3. Myles Turner
4. Robert Covington
5. Bam Adebayo
6. Chris Paul
7. Zion Williamson
8. Victor Oladipo (IL)
9. Jonas Valanciunas
10. Delon Wright
11. Serge Ibaka
12. Mikal Bridges
13. OG Anunoby
14. Jerami Grant
15. Matisse Thybulle

Planned to have Dipo on IL and given PG13 would be coming back in November felt pretty safe until the Zion blow.
Got Zion round 7, pick 63. Kept falling down couldn’t resist the urge. Given the statement weeks, I was thinking it would be 3 weeks and not 8 weeks. 8 weeks is a tough blow.

Was going to add Dennis Schroder off waivers after putting Dipo on IL, but post the Zion’s longer timeline being announced chose to pick up Thybulle instead. Despite missing 2 guys on the active roster to start, I still feel pretty solid in steals and blocks, and with the lower games I should win TOs if Harden can hold to low TOs for a couple games (fingers crossed) and my FT% numbers are decent. If I can hold until mid November and only lose at 4-5 or 3-6 clips for a few weeks and get PG13 back, I think I will be fine. Any thoughts or suggestions. And any other waiver pickups you guys recommend instead?

Waivers: PJ Tucker, Kelly Olynyk, Nick Batum, Dennis Schroder, Kevin Huerter, Kent Bazemore, Cody Zeller, Kyle Anderson, N Alexander-Walker, Isiah Thomas, PJ Washington, Noman Powell to list a few.

Sorry about the long question. Thanks as always.

Trying to buy low on holiday. I'm thinking about giving Covington and Rubio for holiday and Ingles

12 team h2h 9cat.

Thanks for the thoughts, guys! League goes 182 players deep, so you're right that it's pretty slim pickings on the wire.
