Buffalo Wild Wings has a chart for the spiciness of the sauces in their menu: smilin’, sizzlin’, and screamin’. An Indonesian restaurant I saw on the internet had a chart of spiciness on the wall: 1 pepper, 2 peppers, 3 peppers, 4 peppers, and 5 peppers. The greatest spiciness chart, though, comes from my Korean brethren:
Last night, Steph Curry was at 8.

| 42 | 9 | 7 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 9/14 | 11/20 | 11/12 |
Played 34 minutes last night. After missing 11 games due to injury, Curry has played 34, 29, and 37 minutes in the three games since. With the nine threeecolas, that brings his total for the season to 80, which places him second in the league behind James Harden’s 83. Curry has played five fewer games!!! It’s only been 15 games, but Curry is the #2 player for fantasy on a per-game basis. The 30.2 points, 5.1 rebounds, 5.7 assists, and 1.1 steals per game are ridiculous. The 93% from the free throw line on 4.8 attempts is fantastic. The 51% from the field when he attempts 10.4 threeecola attempts a game is ludicrous. But the most laughable stat for Curry is the 5.3 threeecolas he makes per game. That’s almost more than the rebounds and assists per game. Harden is second with 4.2. Third place? Lauri Markkanen with 3.5. Way past F**k, right?
Beep. Boop. Bop. You know who was feeling saucy last night? The Stocktonator, as it had Curry at #5 last night.

Got the start at power forward and played 22 minutes. Jerebko has shown to be useful when he gets time, as he can stretch the floor with his J and does work on the glass. Draymond Green is close to returning, so Jerebko will be relegated back to a bench role, but he could be a streamer in the right situations.

Nikola Mirotic did not play, so Randle got the start and played 35 minutes. Still only 23 years old and has one-year, $9 million left on his contract.
From a fantasy perspective, though, he’s a top 100 player because he doesn’t contribute much in threeecolas, steals, or blocks.

He lives! Batum has been very disappointing this season, which can be partly attributed to the productive year from Kemba Walker. Batum is averaging two fewer shot attempts per game. With that said, he’s the #121 player for fantasy, well off the 60-range he often found himself in years past. Last season, he ended as the #99 player. Batum owners would sacrifice their first-born for that.

Speaking of Kemba, after the insanely hot start to the season, he has been just as cold of late. Over the past seven games, he’s shooting 36% from the field and is the #126 player in fantasy. After having a usage rate over 30 in the early going, that number has ticked down to the 26-28 range.

These are all things Wiggins can do. He just doesn’t do them consistently. Scratch that. He just doesn’t do them more than a few times a year. He’s never been a top 100 player for fantasy and, over the past seven games, he’s the #231 player. He’s shooting 38% on the season. With that said, he’s still only 23 years old. At what point can I stop writing, “he’s still only ____ years old?” 26, right?

Still boggles the mind that he doesn’t deliver the D. That’s what she said. Anyways, in 2014, Blake attempted 0.1 threeecolas and ended as the #28 player for fantasy. Since then, the threeecolas attempts have increased every year, while the fantasy ranking has gone lower (0.2/#40, 0.6/#44, and 1.9/#58). Hmmmmm.

Just impressed I guess that he’s still in the league and that the Knicks still owe him $38 million even though he’s playing for Memphis on a one-year, $1.7 million contract. This has to be some bet owner Robert Pera has or he just wants to stick it to James Dolan. Either one would be freaking hilarious.

Played a team-high 37 minutes. Too bad Crabbe isn’t a defensive stalwart, so that I could highlight his crab-like agility when locking down opposing ball handlers. Oh well. If you need threeecolas, Crabbe is your guy. Just know that you’ll want to throw him into the ocean from time to time.

With Taurean Prince out for three weeks, it was Bazemore who got the start and played 35 minutes. He’s very good when he plays, as he contributes across the board. Gotta figure he gets traded at some point, though.

Played 27 minutes. I thought that the Hawks would give Bembry the Prince minutes, but it looks like it’s Bazemore’s role for now. Bembry is athletic, but inconsistent, especially with his shot. Should see an uptick in minutes for as long as Prince is out, but will be behind Bazemore.
Jeremy Lin only played four minutes before leaving the game due to a lower back strain. That could be good news for Bembry.

Played a team-high 46 minutes in a game that went to OT. Remember in early November when Murray dropped 48 points? Well, the nine games following that eruption, he failed to reach 20 points. These ceiling games happen once in a while, but the consistency is just not there, but we keep holding on…waiting for the next one to satisfy us. The points, rebounds, and assists are all higher than last year’s numbers so far, but the shooting efficiency is way down. Once he straightens that out, top 50 player is not out of the question.

#7 player for fantasy. None of his numbers look like outliers except for the shooting percentages: 55% from the field and 40% from downtown vs career marks of 50% from the field and 32% from downtown. A downtick in both should be expected, but that would still leave him as a top 20 player.

Hei Son,
Great work, as usual!
I currently own D. White and I’m thinking if I should make a move from the WW. The available PG’s are: Okobo, Gallaway, Hill, D. Wright, Satoransky.
What’s your opinion?
Thanks!
It’d be between White and Okobo for me. I’d probably hold onto White but keep an eye on Okobo
Hey buddy what’s good.. Haven’t posted in a while, coz Oladipshit and Gharris are both injured and there really isn’t spectacular going on with my squad but despite those two sucking, I’m still doing well. Thanks to Jrue, Kevin, Rudy and Covington. Gotta include Holmes too, dude killed it last week. So anyway, I’m floating some offers, my Dinwiddie and Allen for Booker and Ayton (Ayton belongs to a different owner). Ayton’s owner is really contemplating with it. Does it seem like I’m fleecing him? I’m giving up blocks, assists and 3s… I don’t know, in my eyes this is a good deal for him. And the only reason why I wanted Ayton is bcos I’m a suns fan. Gotta have him on my squad you know! And also, I picked up Adebayo, I know you ain’t a huge fan of him but I got Dipo coming back from IR so he’s just really more of a speculative add. My squad look now:
PG1 Holiday
PG2 Dinwiddie
SG1 Richardson
SG2 Harris
SG3 Mikal Bridges
SF1 Covington
SF2 Porter Jr.
PF1 Durant
PF2 Isaac
C1 Gobert
C2 Allen
C3 Holmes
C4 Adebayo
IR1 Oladipo
IR2 Cousins
And I got Isaac too! Thank God his former owner dropped him. I’m just hoping Jrich gets a PG tag soon, so if I do lose Dinwiddie I’d still have a PG behind Jrue.
@I just wanna Kawhi: Ayton owner just accepted. I sacrificed dimes, 3s and blocks but Ayton will help solidify my boards and FG%–that’s what I’m hoping for. Lol
@I just wanna Kawhi:
The trade analyzer is saying you fleeced him, in a pretty big way.
Probably not taking in to consideration Bookers injury, but still.
Nice work. You have a very solid team, (even before the trade) I like what you’ve done.
aYo Son! Good read!
aYo Mr. Blast!
@Mr. Blast: hey bud thanks, got just one player in Ayton, not Ayton + Booker
@I just wanna Kawhi: Boooooo! 🙂
Nice. Good luck
Sup my man! Been a while but always good to hear from you. I like acquiring Booker/Ayton. As for fleecing the other owner, everyone values players differently. If he doesn’t like the offer, then he won’t accept it. As for Bam, I’ve always been a fan of his. He’s just blocked from getting significant playing time. Team looks good. I hope Dipo is able to return soon, though.
@Son: just a 2 for 1 offer for either Book or 8on man, just landed the latter!
@I just wanna Kawhi: Boooooo! 🙂
@Son: ha! Did I do bad? But seriously, been eyeing Ayton for a while now. It’s either I offer the Brooklyn boys or I give the owner Richardson straight up. We’re going full assist punt on this one. I hope Ayton improves a lot more as the season progresses especially on the defensive end. Here’s to hoping for a 20/11/3/.5/1.5 line to finish the season..
@I just wanna Kawhi:
So yea, To be honest, I gotta say you didn’t do good here.
The trade analyzer say’s YOU got fleeced, in a pretty big way.
I liked the original pairing you had of Gobert & Allen (block party)
Ayton is hitting a minor rookie wall in my opinion.
I still like Ayton a lot, drafted him myself but traded him away.
As Son say’s everyone values players differently.
You need to add a PG now. Your team is still solid.
@Mr. Blast: thanks bud! Yea, I’d rather prefer the other guy getting the better end of the deal, so if the majority think that I indeed was the one that gave up more value then that’s totally fine with me. I’m actually the commissioner of our league and as you know when you’re the commissioner it’s sometimes hard to make deals cos you’re under the watchful eyes of your co-leaguemates. Hah And I forgot to mention, I’m an avid Suns fan and Son knows about it, lol. So landing Ayton is a must for me. And I already also won last season! It’s just me really loosening up and enjoying the year (despite Dipo and Garry’s injuries) but still playing competitive fantasy hoops. I’m gon defend the crown, won’t surrender it to them easily.
Yea, with regards to pointguards.. Our wire is already pretty thin of those. The Mudiays, Agustins and Forbess are still available but I ain’t a fan of them. I might make a grab on Monte Morris tho, until ESPN decides to finally give Richardson a PG tag. And Barton is still week-to-week, Harris too might miss weeks of action so Monte has short term appeal…
Naw, you good. I wanted both Ayton and Booker though. I’m not sure Ayton improves that much on the defensive end. He will learn some, but I think he is what he is. Playing D is about awareness and desire. I worry about the desire part
@Son: hah! Yea, just really wanted to land Ayton. Thanks bud.. Maybe a block from him a game will help, but I got other guys that can contribute to that so I think I’d be fine. Would you drop Bridges for Oubre? I’m starting to think that Mikal won’t shoot well this season and I can’t have someone that destroys my FG. What do you think bud, thanks
@I just wanna Kawhi: I hear ya. Bridges for me
@Son: arayt, keeping him! Thanks! Always a pleasure having these convos with u!
@I just wanna Kawhi: Ha! Always here for you. Gotta make sure you’re not Kawhi-ing! =)
Who would you rather own? Kelly Oubre or Cedi Osman? Asking retrospectively because i passed on oubre and grabbed osman and seeing if i made the right move lol
Osman
Hi Son,
I have Osman, and could have dropped for Oubre but I didn’t and now oubre is picked up. Just a retrospective question. Did I make the right move? Oubre seems just as inconsistent as Osman with less playing time. I am not sure who has the higher upside.
What are you expecting from Osman ROS btw?
Thanks!
I like Osman more. He can contribute across the board. The issue with him is the efficiency, which I think will improve as the season progresses
Hey Son!
I’m intrigued by both Mudiay and Bazemore but I’m really not sure that I have room for either (1st place problems…thank you for helping me draft this team, by the way!). What do you think? Maybe over Smart?
