Hello Hoop-ballers,
Currently have Whiteside and was offered Butler in a 9 cat H2H. Do I pull the trigger on this? Not thinking about needs but just rest of season outlook...
Tough call. They each have their strengths that can win you categories by themselves...for Whiteside, rebounds and blocks...for Butler high volume/percentage FTs and steals. I'd say build on your strengths, whichever of those two you're already better in is where I would go. I like to have my "gimme" categories that I can count on winning on most weeks and have a couple toss-ups...as opposed to being balanced across the board and having all my categories be toss-ups.
Since you're looking ROS, consider durability. Whiteside is a lot more likely to go down than Butler is.
They're too close to make that kind of a move. If someone is trying to sell Butler, tell 'em it's going to cost 'em and only do it for a 3rd rounder.
