I was offered Collison for Elfrid Payton. Collison's stats aren't as flashy but his percentages are better. EP has a boost with Vooch out as well but that FT percentage is horrendous. What are your thoughts?
dont trade EP. Collison will go down when dipo's back
I think EP is overrated. He doesn't shoot the 3, his FT% is awful, and it's not coming back. Collison has quietly put together a top-50 season and no one is talking about it because it's a low-flash effort. I'd take the trade.
I'm biased. I hate Collison. He's getting a good boost now because of Dipo's injury. He can flake off at any moment.
I hate collison too. once the return of dipo's. haha. swear he'll vanish
THanks for the responses. I agree with Dan, EP's FT% make him frustrating to own. I instead packaged him and kemba walker for paul george.
Personally I think Elfriid is UNDERRATED. He helped me win multiple leagues last year and I think people tend to be down on him mostly because he doesn't shoot threes, but he can really help you out in a lot of other categories if he fits your roster. Players like Rondae and TJ Warren don't shoot threes either but they can also be game changers in fantasy.
Over the past two weeks, Payton's averaging 18 points, 5 boards, 7.7 assists, and 2 steals on 54% FG and 76% from the line.
His field goal percentage has been really solid for a point guard, he's one of the best players in the league for assists, and he's shown a lot of progression since All Star Break last year.
Give me Payton over Collison all day.
