Wes Johnson

Post #1 » by **jazzfan1971** » Tue Feb 15, 2011 1:51 am

Iv'e got him on a fantasy team and it seems to me that he nearly always misses his first shot of the game. I'm sure he hits a few, but, I'd wager that first shot % is far less than his overall FG%. I'm just wondering if anyone has any insight on why that might be? Just a rookie thing? Or a system thing? Or is he just hopped up on RedBull to start games?

If it makes you feel any better, our starters are shooting at 25%

To be honest, don't be dumb enough to put him on your fantasy team lol

Well, it is a 20 team league with 13 players per team and about 15 on the injured list. So, about 275 players are taken. Is he top 275? Some days I wonder. Have rather played a corpse today.

The corpse would have gotten you less turnovers.

Rambis is very hard on him. There is a chance he will regain his PT after the trade deadline, but it is a small chance. His upside is too good to drop in a 20 team league, and he gets blocks and 3's at least from a g/f spot.

Rambis is a terrible coach for fantasy b-ball owners at the guards spots.

I bet owners loved Cory Brewer's 0/2 with 3 TO's, 0 pts rebs asts stils or blocks he put up the other night too. If he were a quarterback he'd have had a zero passer rating.

If you add Corey Brewer to your fantasy team, you deserve to lose every week, and you have no right to complain.

you shouldn't have any non-Kevin Love Wolves player on your team

Someone here who will remain nameless added brewer in one of our leagues.

I have Wes in our 14 team league, and he's been on my pine for a while now, and I've considered dropping him several times, but I have homer goggles I guess.
I started him this week because he plays 2 games, beasley's injured, and my alts had 1 game (short week). bad decision I guess.

Brewer was on and off my fantasy team multiple times. I'm pretty sure he is still on my team along with Webster and Wes. I haven't looked at my team in weeks but I sure hope Brewer has not been starting. Either way I took too many risks in the draft and screwed my team over right away. So I figured I might as well have some Wolves on the team.

*nm Brewer is not on my team anymore. Someone else picked him up after I waived him in mid dec.

** haha now that person just waived him.

Yup, I had him in both leagues, but quickly waived him once I discovered that.

This is Wes related, so I'll put it in here:

Teammate Wes Johnson also will represent the Wolves in Los Angeles. He's playing in Friday night's rookie-sophomore game.

Somebody asked Love what advice he has for his teammate.

"He made it as a rookie," said Love, who wasn't invited to play when he was a rookie but played for the sophomore team last season, "so he should be giving me advice."

I would say a sg who can create his own shot, preferably young.
