Hello Community,
I for one am not a fan of picking rookies in the draft or trading for them. However, John Collins is very interesting to me. In my points league where Off Rebounds are worth 2 and rebounds are worth 1. Playing over 20 minutes a night, except for the 2nd game where he fouled out in 15.
Scores of 27,8,37
-I just feel it's only a matter of time before he takes Ilyasova's starting spot as he is becoming too good to keep off the floor.
He is currently on the waiver wire.
However, I feel I am quite deep at the PF spot: Bolstering some depth.
Aaron Gordon (SF,PF), Avg 28.2
Gallinari (SF,PF), Avg 15 (Feel this will improve when he gets his shot going)
Thad Young (SF,PF), Avg 26.2
Blake (PF), Avg 52.2
Randle (PF), Avg 14.7 (Not playing many minutes but no-one will take him in a trade)
Whiteside (PF,C), Avg 64.5 (Played one monster game, hasn't played since.)
Should I wait to see how he progresses in the next couple of games (Risk someone else picking him up), trade one of my PF away for a PG (Needed depth), or pick him up and drop someone.
Thanks for your opinion.......
I also think its only a matter of time before he is in the starting lineup, I would pick him up. Drop Thad Young maybe see what you could get for him? I can see his production really trending down, especially after Myles Turner returns.
Be careful! Suggesting to drop Thad will bring down Besbris fury! Seems to me like Randle is the player with the least potential given he's having trouble producing on a crappy team. Kuzma is getting more and more minutes and Larry Nance will continue to get his share too. That said, Randle vs Collins is a toss up. It might take half the year before Collins gives you enough value to play him. Hard to tell with rookies. But if you aren't going to play Randle, might as well play the upside.
id drop randle for collins
Randle is in a nasty position battle with Kuzma and Nance, Thad will provide steady value all year. If Randle wins the position battle he's going to feast, but I honestly think it's going to be a rotating headache situation. If you have to drop someone I would drop Randle.
Yeah man, don't dog my boy Thad. He's a consistent performer and he and Turner don't play the same position. Sabonis took all of Turner's production the last two games, friends.
Also you guys have your positions goofy with ATL, too. Dedmon and Collins are in the timeshare, not Ilyasova.
