With IT coming back soon, I'm thinking that Love's usage will go down...maybe? Do you think Love for Drummond is a fair trade?
He's been on par with last years numbers when Kyrie was there... only thing really different is FG% is up
I'd probably stick with Love, but let's be clear: Drummond is a monster this year as a high-post passer. He's a top-40 guy. Love, however, is probably a top-35 guy (or better) even after IT comes back.
I trust you coach! Too bad Tristan can't help in the post freeing up Love. Why isn't he playing!?!
Stay Love. Similar players. Advantage Love for 3-balls and volume FT%. Advantage The Drum rebounds, steals, blocks...but with detrimental FT% and TO. Love isn't going to drop off with I.T. Either. Hi usage/points will take a small hit, but look at his numbers last year when Kyrie was playing (about the same effect as I.T.), his numbers then we're about the same as now. Keep Love....or at least sell for something higher. I love Drummond, but selling Love for him is a downgrade in my mind.
Thank you for the insightful breakdown. Still trying to figure a way to pry Drummond off the last place team. I think he was trying to punt FT% with Jordan on his team. But his team consists of those two guys and Beal. Everyone else is meh.
