Klay Thompson was not having a good start to the 2018 season. He had failed to reach the 20-point mark in any of the first seven games and was shooting under 40% from the field and 14% from downtown. Klay is a career 45% shooter from the field and 42% from beyond the arc. Regression hit hard and heavy last night, though.

The third time he has eclipsed the 50-point barrier in his career and the third time he has notched a record: 11 three-pointers during a playoff game (2016), 37 points in a quarter (2016), and the 14 threeecolas last night bested his teammate, Steph Curry, who held the previous record of 13 (2016). Klay has some of the most ridiculous heaters I’ve ever seen. Anyways, for fantasy, he’s currently the 76th player according to Basketball Monster. The minutes are down, assists are down, threeecolas are down, and field goal percentage is down. The only concern would be the minutes and assists, but the shooting will come around. He’s just too good, and reminded us all in a big way last night.
Here’s what else I saw last night:
Andrew Wiggins did not play due a quad contusion.
Anthony Davis did not play due to an elbow injury.
Giannis Antetokounmpo did not play due to a concussion.
Kawhi Leonard did not play due to rest.

Welcome to Six Flags Magic Mountain. The Trae Young has some of the largest inclines and descents in the roller coaster universe. Enjoy! We know what Trae is, an inefficient shooter, but he is an underrated passer. There were many during the draft process that highlighted his awareness and ability to deliver the ball in a way not many could. Unfortunately, those voices were too few. Anyways, here’s your nightly nutmeg from Trae.

And next to the Trae Young at Six Flags is the Kent Bazemore. Went for 18 last night, 8 the game before, and 32 the game before that. Fun times! Bazemore does have a higher floor than Trae due to his ability to contribute in the D stats. 1.6 steals and 0.6 blocks to go along with 4.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 2 threeecolas ain’t bad.

Played 23 minutes off the bench. Since returning from injury, Dedmon has played 14, 27, and 23 minutes. Dedmon averaged 25 minutes a game last season, and that will probably be his ceiling for this year. Boards with some blocks and a threeecola sprinkled in are what you can expect.

Spencer Dinwiddie and Allen Crabbe both played 25 minutes and look to be settling there. Dinwiddie scored 17 while Crabbe scored 8. Dinwiddie does chip in some dimes while Crabbe is all about the threeecolas. Don’t expect great shooting efficiency from either.

He’s the alpha of the Knicks right now and is going to shoot. Then shoot some more. Then keep shooting. Until his arm falls off, but I’m sure will still find a way to get his shot up. Don’t expect the 8 dimes on a regular basis, but he is averaging close to 3 a game.

Has cooled off after the blistering start. He wasn’t going to shoot over 50% for the whole season. With that said, he does grab boards and gets his 211 on (2 steals per game!), so the floor is relatively high. The one possible concern is that he only played 24 minutes, after getting 36 and 32 the prior two games. With Ingram back, the 25 minute range may be where he settles.

Hey Son,
Any thoughts on James Johnson. He was recently dropped in our league and was thinking of adding him and replacing Monte Morris.
Also what are your thoughts on my PG lineup:
Fultz
Russell
Rubio (Dropped by another manager)
Mitchell
I’m currently low on REBs but that’s the least of my concerns. Maybe one can go? Any trades in mind that maybe I can get a mid-high skill level for a wing or a big? Big help, Son!
Thanks!
@Jake: JJ is fine, but I wouldn’t expect much from him. PGs look nice. Good Rubio scoop. As for trade targets, no idea man. All dependent upon league context. Send out the scouts
Hii Son,
My team : lowry, dinwiddie, SGA, doncic, fournier, redick, hayward, moore, otto, durant, ibaka, embiid & kanter
I got offer my lowry + fournier for kyrie + lou will. Would you trade ?? H2H 9cat 12 teams
thanks Son
@Rick: Would rather have the Lowry side
AYO!
I’m sure a million people are asking this today,
Monte or Adobo ? (Okobo)
Maybe we can all chime in here at Razzball and set the record straight!
Ready go !
@Mr.Blast: AYO! Okobo for the upside
@Son:
Even with Canaan saying his ankle is fine ?
Yeah. More upside. It could take time, but Okobo has a chance to be the guy. Morris doesn’t.
Some of my upside picks aren’t panning out just yet and I’m wondering to what extent to be patient (two weeks, two losses for far). Fournier (will he ever get his shot back?), Hart (back to 2nd class status behind Ingram), and Osman (boy, he cooled off quickly) raise the biggest concerns.
Available FAs include: D-Rose, Rondo, Nitilinka, Matthews, Z.Collins, Harrell, Carter Jr. I figure there could be at least one big in my future. Thoughts?
Team in a h2h 9-cat yahoo league
CP3, Conley, J-Rich, Fournier, Hart, LeVert, Kawhi, Osman, Gallo, Randle, Horford
I like Rose, Collins, Harrell, and WCJ. Possibly Ntilikiina. I think Fournier will be fine, Hart won’t get the 30+ minutes anymore. Osman is going to struggle, but will get the minutes and usage
Hey Son!
Dinwiddie or SGA as a hold long term? 12-team, 9 cat.
I know Dinwiddie’s potential is capped but he feels safer.
Thanks,
SGA
I’m eyeing Zach Collins really hard right now… Cedi is on thin ice, if he still sucks and Zach C somehow again plays meaningful minutes and manages to provide serviceable numbers, man I’m making the switch. By the way, I’m just loving Spencer right now. Fits my team really well. Shoots a decent amount of 3s and making 0.400 of them. Has upside in steals and assists. Turnovers are pretty low, can score, can get to the line and make free throws. Not gonna wow his owners, but for an end of the bench guy, he’s decent. I’m keeping him for now!
Most of the Razzball writers are high on Collins. As for Spencer, if the glove fits, you must acquit! Hmmm, that analogy didn’t pan out the way I wanted, but I think you get the point
@Son:
I do! Hah
Damn, I hope Cedi puts on a show tonight. I believe in the kid and know that he really has something to special to offer.. It’s just the atrocious shooting! I can’t really stomach it! I’m praying he does well
@I just wanna Kawhi: I believe in him too, but the ride gonna be bumpy. You know you love it!! You need that thrill, so you can Kawhi…from either happiness or despair
@I just wanna Kawhi: Yo! I think we continue to see ZC get minutes in the 18-22 range on most nights. He also will have the occasional 20-27 minute games when Nurk gets in to foul trouble.
ZC is a legitimate rim protector and the offense is legit as well. I’m out here in Rip City and have been paying close attention to ZC and how he is being deployed. I think what we are seeing is real and his contributions should stay in line with what he is doing now.
@OldMilwaukeePounders: Good stuff OMP. Thanks for the insight
@Son: No problem, Son!
In his rookie year Collins took some lumps with fouling too much as well, but he has really cleaned up his defensive bad habits a lot so far in year 2. That being said, he does try to contest a TON of shots, so he could see foul trouble on some nights. ZC is developing nicely and should be a really solid piece in PDX.
To your point about ET; Stotts is hardly giving CJ & Dame separate run at all right now. Turner looks to have a full run of the second squad as long as they remain productive scoring. I really like ET when he doesn’t HAVE to press to score. I think his values a facilitator makes him more interesting, IMO.
@OldMilwaukeePounders: OWP dropping the knowledge!! Love it!
@OldMilwaukeePounders:
Damn, these are awesome inputs! Thanks man, this helps a lot!!
Hey Son,
Could you please rank for lillard,kemba,lowry,oladipo,wall & doncic ??
Thanks,
@Ace: The way you have it except flip flop doncic and wall
hey Son, back again for my daily checkin lol.
Fournier and Mo Bamba were dropped, and SGA, Cedi, P Skills (Siakam) and Okobo are on the wire as well. Would you take any over Hart, Rose, Lou Will, Harrell, Trae Young? If you could have 1, who would you pick (still have an open streaming spot and could make the move tomorrow). Thanks!
@Wutang: Wutang is for the people!!! Always glad to see you in here.
I forgot what your team was and depends on if you need production now or can shoot for upside. Big men are a premium so I’d take a chance on Siakam. Probably drop Lou Will. Okobo probably has the highest ceiling, as it’s within the range of outcomes that he becomes the starter at some point. I’d be patient with Hart and would drop Rose if I had to choose.
@Son: whoops… first time I didn’t put my team in, figured you had it memorized by now!
10-team, unlimited daily moves:
PG: Mike Conley
SG: Oladipo
G: Josh Hart
SF: Otto Porter Jr.
PF: Jonathan Isaac
F: Mirotic
C: Jokic
UTIL: Noel
UTIL: Lou Will
UTIL: JJ Redick
BN: Trey Young
BN: Rose
BN: Harrell
INJ: Barton
INJ: Love
Streaming Noel for the game tonight, and will keep that spot rolling throughout the year I’d imagine. In a league with unlimited moves like this, I like having 2-3 spots where I pick up a new player every night, normally results in tons of counting stats lol
@Wutang: In your league, the more streaming spots, the better. Adams May play tonight
@Son: if he does, I’ll drop Noel for Siakam. I’m gonna give Lou a shot tonight, but definitely looking at cutting ties in the near future (after i send a trade offer to every owner in my league)
@Wutang: Sounds like a plan
Hey Son!!
Another year and I’m back to the wizard of fantasy advice!
I currently have Jaylen Brown and what do you think…. is he a hold or should I drop him?
My team (9 cats, 10 players):
Josh Richardson
Jaylen Brown
Damian Lillard
Kawhi Leonard
Tobias Harris
Clint Capela
Larry Nance Jr.
Carmelo Anthony
Zach Collins (dropped Sabonis for him, hopes he is worth the hype)
Jayson Tatum
DeAndre Jordan
Caris LeVert
Jabari Parker
Kris Dunn (IL)
Ha! Appreciate the kind words. I am no wizard, though. That is reserved for Rudy.
Anyways, as with anything add/drop related, it depends who you would drop him for
Got a guy wanting to trade me Kyrie for my Doncic. Crazy right? Or maybe not?
Guy in my league is offering Kyrie for my Doncic. Take it right? Or not so fast?
I’m probably the wrong guy to be asking about anything regarding Doncic! =)
What do you think are some reasonable trades for Towns, how much would you be willing to give up? Like a Turner+whiteside or adding something like covington or taurean prince to those two?
It really depends on the KAT owner. Send out the scouts for price discovery
@The Future is Bright:
I tried Tobias Harris and Nurk for Towns and got completely rejected (the person said he is not interested in trading KAT yet)
@Andy: Doesnt surprise me. Always have to think from their perspective. They spent a high pick on KAT and know his history. If they wanted to sell him, they would’ve sent out offers to the league. Everyone knows that you are trying to buy low. Best thing to do is alway put yourself in their shoes.
What would you consider equal value for Kyrie Irving? I traded Teague+Brogdon for Kyrie+James Johnson thinking I was getting a for-sure second rounder, but now I’m not so sure.
Which of the below would you trade Kyrie for 1 for 1?
Jrue Holiday
Jamal Murray
Middleton
Gary Harris
Any other ideas for guys to target?
Was thinking of offering Kyrie+Batum for Jrue Holiday+Jamal Murray. Whatcha think of that?
Thanks
I would’ve made that trade as well. I think Kyrie will be fine, but the ceiling has been lowered for sure.
I’d trade him for any of those guys.
I’m good with that.
As with any trade, value is subjective and every situation, League, and owner is different.
H2H 9 cat: Ntilikina or Tyreke?
Ntilikina
