Issiah Thomas, the next Lin?

Without the hype I know (no Asian or New York markets), but really, he has been named the starter and the guy he is replacing has been awful (Salmons) so you have to think the minutes are going to continue.

23 points, 11 assists, 8 boards, 3 threes in yesterday's game. I know we can't expect that every game, but he is a must add IMO. For anyone that missed out on Lin, I think Thomas is going to be a nice consolation prize.

Kings' back court is too crowded with Tyreke, Thornton, Fredette. I don't expect him to do that on a consistent basis

Actually he is very likely to be the starter going forward. Tyreke isn't a PG and is now the SF while Jimmer has had his trial and failed. The offense has improved from 92 pt/gm to 100 says something. He MAY prove more valuable than Lin in fantasy as well.

He might be the starter, but him putting up those numbers again is not happening with all those ball hogs on the team.

at this stage in the season he's an auto-pick up and you make room to grab him. players w/ upside don't come around often nowadays. we're getting into the dog days of the season.

Since the near triple double huge game posted earlier I.T. has gone:

25 points, 5 assists, 3 boards, 5 threes.

18 points, 6 assists, 2 boards, 1 steal.

Safe to assume that he has now been added in all competitive leagues.
