Have you ever played in an open court with friends or random people and one of those guys was a ball hog? The kind of guy that will take 400 dribbles and take an unnecessary fade-away instead of hitting you or a teammate that is wide open ? And some times even make that crazy shot, so he can justify it in his mind to continue doing the same thing again and again…Well you can now see this in the NBA form…
The tippy tappies walk must mean that Monk was really really pissed at that moment and maybe Demar saw Amen Thompson hiding, ready to make the steal or maybe he just wanted to take the shot for himself. Either way, this was hilarious.
Regarding last week’s suggestions, Cole Anthony has been under the weather and even missed a game, while Vit Krejci was serviceable in the games Jalen Johnson missed, but now goes back to the waiver wire. On the Sell front, Tyus Jones has been mediocre and I still maintain that his value is not enough for the rest of the season while Zach Edey is a clear drop.

Kel’el Ware: I don’t know how long will it last, I don’t know if he will continue to start for Miami alongside Bam Adebayo, but with the type of performances Ware has as of late, you add him first and then start asking those questions later. Temu Wemby (what a nickname from reddit) is a rebounding machine, is a great blocker and can stretch the floor a bit with good ft%. What more can you ask from a waiver wire add? (33% owned)
Jaylin Williams: With both Chet Holmgren out for the short term and Isaiah Hartenstein out for the short term, Jaylin Williams has been entrusted with more minutes and has been very positive for the Thunder. He has started the last 3 games and is a serviceable stretch big, so give him a look for the remainder of this week with 3 games remaining (14% owned).
Nick Smith Jr: With Brandon Miller likely missing a long time and silly season approaching for the tanking Charlotte Hornets, it is a good time to take a chance on Nick Smith Jr, who has started the last 2 games. He can be a good scorer off the waiver wire with good triples and also 3 more games this week so he is an option to boost your guard stats (12% owned).
Looking down the barrel of a 2-1. Would you trade away Goga and TJD for Deni? The twist is we can only carry four centers and I have Jokic, Allen, Duren and Ware. Once Goga comes off IR, I get nothing for him
Although Deni is not the most exciting option, if it is essentially TJD for Deni I would do it. Banchero and Wagner returning will also have an impact on Goga.
Regardless of team build, would you rather roster Podziemski or Yabusele? Thanks!
Hey miles, long time no see!
With the Embiid situation I think I like Yabusele a bit more, even though the 2 players are fairly close in per game value.
