I'm sure there'll be questions about who to drop for Milos or what we can expect from him.
Last year in Euroleague, he played 29 games and averaged 27.5 minutes per game with the following stats: 16 pts, 2.1 reb, 6.8 ast, 0.6 steals, 0.0 blocks, 3 TOs,2.7 triples on 44% FG, 90% FT (on 4 attempts), 38% on 3-pointers.

Granted, this was Euroleague, so it's not the best translator of how he'll shake out in the NBA. Almost like making predictions based off a player's pre-season numbers, but it's all we really have at this point.
LAC simply NEEDS him to perform, so he could easily be looking at more than 27.5 mpg in a couple weeks once he's up to speed.
If you have thoughts or questions on Milos, feel free to post them here and we can theorize this together.
-----------------------
For my own personal question on Milos...would you drop Gallinari to pick him up? In a perfect world The Rooster would FEAST right now with LAC all beat up, but the fact remains that he can't stay on the floor to save his life. He comes back from missing 13 games with an injury to have ONE good game before breaking himself again and hitting the shelf for an unknown period of time. I picked him up as an FA in a 12-team league after he was dropped and surprisingly no one burned their waiver priority for him...so, there's a decent chance if I drop him, he'll sit on the wire anyway. Thoughts?
I don't think Gallo is a drop in any leagues, he'll always be dinged up and missing games, but those games he plays he has top-60 upside. There must be someone worse on your team that you can drop for Milos. I think Teodosic is a must-own player though as assists are very hard to find on the wire.
I would NOT drop Gallo. He's so injury prone, but he's going to have a massive role whenever he's out there.
Milos is definitely worth owning in standard leagues. I'm seeing some pie-in-the-sky predictions, but I think a safer one is like 11ppg, 3rpg, 4apg, a steal and 1.5 3's.
Yeah, I wouldn't normally, but the team I have him on doesn't have any easy drops. Other guys on the low end of the roster would be Kuzma, Collins and Okafor. Although after tonight with Okafor riding the pine, that's something to watch/reconsider. I also have LaVine, Hardaway, D'Angelo Russell and Wall...so just pretty battered lately. My team's a fantasy version of the Clippers lol.
Okafor is my drop, easy. He's a mess, even when he plays decent mins.
Yeah...maybe I was drinking the Kool-Aid with hopes that he would bust onto the scene with 28-30 mins and possible 15/7/1 potential. Now, however after the BKN coach wants to be cute and didn't let him even put a toe on the court, my expectations have dropped.
