Jeremy Lamb
Steven Adams
Corey Brewer
Markeif Morris
Jorden Crawford
Terrance Ross
John Jenkins
Thomas Robinson

Is there anyone in this list worth taking a risk on?

From that list I'd keep tabs on Steven Adams.

I'm on a 12-Team H2H 9-Category League with this lineup:

PG Stephen Curry
SG Nicolas Batum
G Ty Lawson
SF Kyle Korver
PF Larry Sanders
F Chris Bosh
C Chris Kaman
C Tiago Splitter
Util George Hill
Util Kenneth Faried
BN Danny Granger
BN Avery Bradley
BN Nene Hilario

Thinking about dropping one or two of these guys:

Chris Kaman
Danny Granger
Avery Bradley

And picking up one of these FAs on the waiver wire:

Samuel Dalembert
Jared Dudley
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist
Trevor Ariza
Chauncey Billups

Thoughts?

I wouldn't drop Granger. He's got a chip on his shoulder about proving that he can get his game back to a starting position, and he was a proven fantasy stud for a few years. Yes, he wont be posting the same numbers that he did a couple years back, but I think he'll start a bit slow, and end strong. With Paul George as the starting SF, Granger will be competing with Stephenson for the SG starting job, and I believe that he'll have no problem winning the job in a few weeks, even if he starts the season coming off the bench.

A player everyone should keep an eye out for is Steven Adams. He's probably gonna be a typical big man that can only give you blocks and rebounds, but I have a feeling he's going to help out in steals. Has potential to have a lot of 2 steals/2 block games imo.

anybody picking up Alex Len in PHO since Gortat was traded?

Wasn't impressed with Len at all. Even if he does get minutes freed up because of the trade I think he'll be dealing with foul issues, turnovers, and low percentages all season long. If there's any big man that should be targeted with the last spot it's either Steven Adams or Rudy Gobert.

Thomas Robinson will play himself into the rotation. Blazers have 4 bigs: Aldridge, robin Lopez, Joel freeland and Meyers leanord. Im in Portland, I expect Robinson to lead the team in rebounds. 10/10 and a block wouldn't surprise me.

Conley,Wade,D.Green,Parsons,Favors,Howard,Drummond,Josh Smith,Kemba Walker,Dragic,Waiters,Korver and Reggie Jackson is my roster. 10 teams H2H 9cat.

I got Waiters,D.Green and Korver is anyone from them worth dropping for Jared Dudley? I'd drop Reggie Jackson but i am desperate for assists since i have feeling i lack them.

I'm thinking of picking up Miles Plumlee instead. I'm reading that he's going to get some minutes as well.

I'd think that Len ( the 1st round Pick ) would get the minutes at Center....but any chance that Plumlee gets the nod at the Starting Center spot for the long term?

In terms of Waiver Pick ups, where do you ran the above mentioned Big Men and why?

Steven Adams
Rudy Gobert
Alex Len
Miles Plumlee

It sounds like Steven Adams is going to be playing behind Ibaka and Perkins. Where does Gobert play?

How is Robinson going to put up 10/10/1blk with limited minutes in the frontcourt rotation?

Hello everybody, I'm new to the forum.. I'm also new to nba fantasy, this is my 1. year playing. So, I would like you to rate my team, I want to hear your opinion...

PG Damian Lillard (Por - PG)
SG Kevin Martin (Min - SG)
G Kemba Walker (Cha - PG)
SF LeBron James (Mia - SF,PF)
PF LaMarcus Aldridge (Por - PF,C)
F Anthony Davis (NO - PF,C)
C David Lee (GS - PF,C)
C Al Jefferson (Cha - PF,C)
Util Monta Ellis (Dal - PG,SG)
Util David West
BN Parsons
BN Tyreke Evans
BN DeMar DeRozan

Should I trade Parsons for Ilyasova? Also, I was thinking of cutting Tyreke and signing Evan Turner, good idea?
What should I change? Who should I trade?

Cheers!

Why trade Parsons for Illyasova in the first place?

Also...I'd keep Tyreke over Evan Turner. He will be running some point with NOLA as well....so he may produce similar if not better #s.

TheAnswer43 · Post #273 » by **TheAnswer43** » Mon Oct 28, 2013 8:50 pm

I think that Ilyasova might have a better year than Parsons.. Parsons will get less touches with DH in Hou.. But then again Ilyasova is injured..

Ok, I wont trade Parsons for now..

What do you think about the rest of the roster? Is it good? Should I trade anybody?

Regards!

hey guy's, Anyone know much about James Anderson, he seemed to do well in preseason, Do you think he is worth it, or would it be better to take Ross?

You assume he'll gey limited minutes? I think his hustle will force the coach into playing him plenty. If he started at some point I wouldn't be surprised.

I mean meyers leanord is awful, lopez is plain bad, freeland tries hard but just doesn't seem to get anything done.

His competition is strait garbage, he'll play.

Rockets fans will have to confirm...cuz I only watched the 2 Pacers/Rockets game in preseason....but from what I can tell....the bulk of the offense is still going to be from the perimeter Players ( there's a reason why the entire team is full of 3pt shooters ) even with D12 in the lineup. Parsons will put up better #s compared to last year and will continue to be a source for 3pt shots, decent FG% and scoring. The presense of D12 won't make any difference IMHO.

As for the rest of your roster....it looks fine to me.

Don't know much about Anderson other than he'll be the starting SG on that weak team, but Ross is not worth a look unless DeRozan and/or Gay get traded. He's not going to get much playing time.

triple_threat · Post #279 » by **triple_threat** » Wed Oct 30, 2013 3:34 pm

I really feel Demarre Carroll has a ton of upside. Want to pick him up[ before he plays a game, but I am not sure if it is worth dropping for Matt Barnes, Thabo Sefalosha, or Chris Kaman?

Feedback would be appreciated
