With the unfortunate Nurkic injury, should I be dropping Dwight Powell in 8 cat to go pick up either of Collins or Kanter? Or just hold tight for now?
I'd go for Kanter...as a matter of fact, I just added him on my team!
I think most people should be picking up Kanter wherever available, as we know what he can do in just 20 mins/game, and he’ll probably be in at least the high 20s now, but apart from a double double on good percentages, he’s not going to get the defensive stats Dwight can, and on most nights you’re not going to be getting triples like this from Kanter either, so it’s about what stats you need at this point in the year. Collins probably gets a decent bump in production here too, but I’m not picking him up unless I’m desperate for blocks.
I think Kanter & Collins will split the center minutes. They are both viable but I think Powell is a stronger play.
Good luck!
If I had to rank 'em.
1. Powell
2. Kanter

3. Collins
Kanter should be rostered, though. I'd try to find a drop that isn't a guy posting top-75 value.
