Ugggh...Nene the only center on my fantasy team 

Post#1 » by MT1221 » Thu Oct 30, 2008 9:29 pm

I thought he was going to break out against Carlos "Ima" Boozer and the Jazz ...I guess that was a tough matchup for him because they're physical and he isn't......4 rebounds in the opener........I'll have to make trades to compete because the best center available is now Matt Bonner. It's a 20 team league and we play with PG, SG, G, SF, PF, F, C, U, U, U

I knew trading for a center was gonna be necessary, but now I need two so this royally sucks after I won the same league last season...

maybe you should wait until the second game before making a move ;) nene competet well against them but was in foul trouble early in the game because the refs made some questionable calls. like i said, wait until the clips game tomorrow ;)

MT1221: Denver was playing at Utah, meaning they got raped by the officials. If he still isn't doing well after 10 games, then its time to get concerned. After that game? Way too soon.

Nene is plenty physical, he was and is usually just worked by the refs. He also is not a great rebounder, in fact most Nuggets fans expect Melo and Kmart to average more rebounds then Nene will this year.

Although someone should tell you nobody in their right mind that actually wants to win their fantasy league would ever go into the season with Nene their only option at Center. I must ask is Arenas your only PG as well?

He is on my team, but I have depth around him that can hopefully rebound and replace him if and/or when he goes down.

No doubt you screwed yourself picking Nene as your only center, but he will be solid.

He found himself in foul trouble against Utah. Don't expect his rebounds to carry the load for your team though.

Should we expect 7rpg?

Is a 12pt/7reb/1blk/1stl line a reasonable expectation?

I actually expect him to get 12.5/8reb/1blk/2stl a game. However I also did not draft him in any of the leagues I play in just due to the health concerns.

Quite the contrary. Now would be the perfect time to trade him.
