Jrue Holiday NO - PG
James Johnson Mia - SF,PF
Marquese Chriss Pho - PF
Paul Millsap Den - PF,C
Myles Turner Ind - PF,C
Karl-Anthony Towns Min - C
Lonzo Ball LAL - PG
Joe Ingles Uta - SG,SF
Rondae Hollis-Jefferson Bkn - SF,PF
Greg Monroe Mil - PF,C
Tyler Johnson Mia - PG,SG
There are a couple of intriguing pick ups on the wire...and I'm wondering if I should go for any of them.
J. Collins, T. Booker, T. Rozier and K. Oubre. Obviously these players target diff categories. I was wondering which of the cats I would need to improve. or should I hang tight for a little longer. Thanks in advance!
No expert, but my 2 cents below:
I wouldn't be making drastic moves based on one game. That said, i dropped Chriss for D.Murray after he fouled out in 12min (and instantly regretted it.) I would be moving Chriss into one of your bench slots until he proves he can stay on the floor.
Oubre looks to have a decent spot in the rotation for now but will likely take a hit when Morris comes back (3-4 weeks?).
RHJ and Tyler J. would be the two guys on your team I'd consider cutting if someone HUGE came along. But the FAs you listed aren't that intriguing in my mind. Booker fades as young guys take over. Rozier and Oubre have Morris brothers coming back soon. Collins is in a time-share.
These are some other intriguing player. T.Ross, Danny Green, nance jr, levert and skal. Thanks!
See, now I like some of those guys more. Ross has full season value, Green has infinite upside but never gets to it, Nance has a fantasy friendly game, LeVert should be a nice source of pts and steals, and well, the Kings, who knows...
Such an interesting situation. Some random thoughts.
Looks like you're a little light on assists, and possibly 3's.... and then there's the Chriss conundrum.
Dan makes a lot of sense, Ross is the safe bet for season long to get you 3's, a steal a game, and half a block a game... probably 12ppg give or take, anything after that is a bonus.
So if you want the safe bet, dropping TJ for Ross makes sense.
If you want to gamble on a HOT wire pickup, you could go 2 ways (both involve dropping TJ- Spo seems to have his rotation set).
Rozier could give you assists, 3's, and some steals (steals were the one thing he was fairly good at in limited mins last year). Rozier could end up being season long value or fall off a cliff - young guys you never know about.
The other option is Oubre. He's a stop gap for a couple weeks until Kief comes back, then it's a 'let's see how this thing plays out'. Oubre seems to have made a jump with his 3's & defensive activity. He also makes a nice stop gap for that Chriss slot - as he's had a similar stat set from preseason now into the first game, you can bench Chriss until we find out whether last night was an anomaly or not.
I have Chriss in a roto myself, and just dropped Monk along with TJ to pickup Oubre and Ross (I tried for Rozier but was outbid).
ps. keep an eye on John Collins, the ATL PF situation was more of a time share last night then was expected this early...
Thank you your insights. I came in realizing my assists cat might be on the weaker side. at the same time I am also banking on my bigs collecting a few assists here and there to alleviate that situation. At this point and time I am strongly considering Rozier for a bit and then have that as my rotation spot afterwards. Interestingly enough, I just found out Austin Rivers is on the wire. Would he be a possible candidate? or will LAC be a point forward type of team.
Point-Blake
Since I am a little light on the assist department, I ended up dropping TJ for Rozier. However DJ aug has popped up on the wire. Dare I say make the swap for DJ aug? Payton is out for a few games. And my oh my what do I do with Monroe. He is absolutely getting thrashed in the minutes department which translates to trash stats! Could up some rebounds too (due to turner being out). If JV is out, Lucas Noguiera or Poeltl for Monroe? keep in mind it's 11 man 9 cat roto. Thanks!
Also forgot to mention, Evan Turner is also available.
I like Augustin as a streamer for a week.
Monroe is killing me in the one league where I thought "screw it he's still available" ... might drop him today. Can't wait on the Moose. His upside is capped so if he's THIS bad, there's not a huge point in hanging on.
