@charlie-yang Heyo, I haven't gotten back online since you replied. Great job leading your league so far btw (or being top 2 at least - I read your later posts too)
I'm not sure I'd try shaking up your team too much given how well you're doing, although proactively trying to stay ahead is always great.
There is Lavine who's ranked in the late 40s and averaging 1.3 STLs currently, but he's sure to miss some games and he also hasn't kept up a steals average like this in a couple years. Bam Adebayo will get you some too but that changes up your team make up significantly since they're strong in different cats, so maybe not.
@ your long post, I'd say the best call is seeing how your team shapes up with your new additions. Trae will be better (that FG% is atrocious right now) and that could help you shoot up the ranks more as well.
And on Horford vs Poeltl, Poeltl gives you a bit more boost in FG% and (when he gets around to it) blocks --> they are trending up a bit in recent games hence he's a good buy low. He also tanks FT% when he has to take them though.
Horford at his best is more rounded and contributes across the board making him less of a negative for any single category, which could be more favorable for roto.
Someone in my league dropped Jabari Smith Jr. due to his early struggles and I'm thinking about dropping Christian Wood to pick him up. What do you guys think? It's a 12-team league, H2H categories. This team is a FT punt build, btw.
Watching the game live - poku is having an amazing game.....5 blocks and 20 min with 5 min left in 3rd
I know we shouldn't overreact - but do you think this is sustainable? (minutes.... Not 5 blocks obvs but maybe 2-3) If so, who should I drop? J Hart, Hartenstein, or Vanderbilt??
In 8-cat roto, weekly changes, would you start Bamba or Duren next week? They each have four games.
Thanks to all the mods here - 4 weeks in and the team has been nothing short of amazing.
With that, I do have a quick question. Al horford or Poetl in ROS value - Poetl was featured in buy low based on lower than avg blocks so far this season but Al Horford has only recently started waking up. They are literally right next to each other on 9 cat. Who do y'all prefer for 9 cat roto format?
I'd still take Poeltl

There's gotta be a better drop in a 12t punt FT than Wood

Hartenstein would be the closest drop but I'd still keep hi over Poku. Just don't trust this OKC team with minutes for anyone outside of Shai, and Poku is naturally inconsistent, weaving in games of either horrible efficiency or just not enough usage in between his gems

Probably Duren. Safer mins.
Vanderbilt or Poole ROS?
9 cat roto
I'll roll the dice on Poole and hope it clicks
My 3 weakest scores in 9 cat roto 12 team are steals (2/12), Reb (6/12), and blks (6.5).
Not sure if I should drop Josh Hart for Olynyk. Josh has much better Reb but lower steals (1.0 pg vs 1.5 pg this season so far)
Is that 0.5 steals per game worth it? Olynyk also had 0.8 steals pg last season so one could say he'll eventually regress to the mean on these stocks? I'm leaning toward keeping Hart. Yall agree?
Between Jarrett Allen and Rudy Gobert, who do you think will have better ROS fantasy value in 9 cat roto?
Gobert's taking fewer shot attempts and defensive stats are all down from last year - I wonder if this Kat/Ant man/Gobert starting lineup is to blame. If so, this will probably persist rest of year, no?
I have Jarrett Allen - should I try to buy low on Gobert by offering Allen?

Probably keep Hart. Though really, I'm not sure either makes a difference in what you're working on. Minimal changes.

Gobert is ranked ahead of Allen currently so not sure you're going to be able to get that done without a kicker
