Crusty
Although I’m a Heat fan, I didn’t plan on drafting Justise and just had a brain freeze during the draft. I don’t think he’s worth rostering at this point. Wondering which of these options I should target (we use FAAB) to replace Winslow (I’d consider replacing J-Rich too but he’s having such a great pre-season….):
Ish, Justin Holiday, Teodosic, Gay, MKG, Taurean, Tristan T., Ryno, Len
League: Yahoo, 9-cat, 12-team, daily keeper, start PG-SG-SF-PF-C-Util-Util
Team: Lillard, Teague, Lin, J-Rich, Beal, Matthews, Winslow, A.Gordon, Zingis, Gobert, Vala
Your backcourt is stacked, so Ish, Justin, Teodosic are probably not in play. I do love Justin Holiday, though. I hate TT so…Ryno too one-dimensional for me and you’ve got 3s. That leaves MKG, Prince, and Len. Since only 1 C league and, although I like Len, Tyson is still in PHO. MKG or Prince for me so Prince.
@Son: I love how you walked me through your thought process! Thank you. I take it you have no 6th man love for Rudy Gay’s achilles?
@Not your average Joe: PS What’s your take on Matthews? Is he more the mid-season player scoring in the teens with above average percentages? Or is he the late season guy scoring 8 points and missing the broad side of a barn? If the latter, he might be worth dropping for Holiday.
pg: Walker, Dragic, Ball, R. Jackson, Ish Smith
sg: Harden, Mitchell
sf: Hayward, Bazemore, Hollis Jefferson
pf: Griffin, Love, Aldridge
c: Horford, Vucevic, Cauley-Stein, Dedmon
my dynasty team is solid, but I want to see if there are any solid moves to make to strengthen my strong categories ft%/3pt/pts/rebs/assists? Maybe get someone who will get me some more steals?
Hey Crusty,
I am having difficulty deciding who to start. 20 team, 15 players, 10 starters, 9 cat, H2H.
This will be my starters right now:
PG: Murray
SG: Snell
G: Oladipo
SF: Warren
PF: WCS
F: Len
C: Swanigan
C: T Chandler
UTIL: Winslow
UTIL: Carroll
I have C Parsons and A Harrison on the bench. Would you start either of those over my current starters? I could move WCS or Len to C, and bench Swanigan or Chandler.
What do you think?
Thanks,
@Shahed:
Maybe Parsons over Swanigan. Parsons has upside, but hasn’t proved it for a bit, so there’s a risk.
