12tm9cath2h (PG/SG/SF/PF/C/U Starting Positions)
I'm slowly dropping in standings each week due to the amount of injuries my team has sustained (which I subsequently had to drop guys from falling further quicker i.e. Thomas Bryant/Otto Porter Jr) as well as under-performing players early in the year (Delon Wright/Gary Harris/Danuel House/Miles Bridges)
I've got 2 more unknowns in Mike Conley and Kyrie Irving who were my top 2 PG's coming out of the draft.
I was able to somehow add via waivers both Gordon Hayward and Davis Bertans during their injured time from impatient owners and now I'm thinking of being the same in dropping Kyrie Irving and/or Mike Conley. Maybe even Taurean Prince? What are your thoughts? Thanks!
Current Available players:
Ish Smith
Daniel Gafford
Tim Hardaway Jr.
Luke Kennard
Norman Powell
Gary Harris
Bruce Brown
Svi Mykhailiuk
Dwight Powell
Aron Baynes
Enes Kanter
Larry Nance Jr
Justice Winslow
My Team:
PG: Kyrie Irving (PG/SG); Mike Conley; Lonzo Ball; Aaron Holiday
SG: Gordon Hayward (SG/SF); Joe Ingles (SG/SF); Damion Lee
SF: Taurean Prince (SF/PF)
PF: John Collins (PF/C); Brandon Clarke (PF/C); Davis Bertans (PF/C)
C: Nikola Jokic (PF/C); Jonas Valanciunas; Wendell Carter Jr.
Powell and Kanter both seem like guys I'd rather have over Taurean at this juncture. Not sure I like the idea of dropping a top-10 guy even with his season completely ruined to this point.
Conley I could go either way...
Should have kept Bryant, that one is going to bite you. In a nutshell, Prince is droppable, he hasn't been the same without Kyrie in the lineup and he is not a guy who can go out and create his shot with additional usage. Brogodn is close to a return, so Holiday is expendable as well. I'm with Dan, I can't drop Kyrie right now. Until it's official you unfortunately have to bite the bullet. Conley gets re-evaluated this week, wait to hear more news. With the FVV news I'd get Norman Powell if u can, he's close to being back. Kanter and Dwight for bigs and Winslow and THJ for wings would be my next adds. I'd rather have any over Prince and Holiday (assuming Brogdon is right around the corner).
Thanks for your input and advice guys! I ended up keeping Kyrie and he rewarded us owners by coming back to play. I ended picking up Norman Powell and dropped Aaron Holiday the day before he came back and produced 20 points, 4 threes, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, and 1 steal so I'm pretty happy about that. I'm still holding onto Taurean Price but might want to flip him for Marcus Morris who is currently injured. FA's currently available are Jaxson Hayes, and Christian Wood.
