Aminu or Posey?

I'm in a big 20 team league, and need some advice. Posey is probably more of a sure thing, but Indiana is crowded at the wing so his mins might be cut. Plus, he's on the decline; although he is good for probably a 3, and be a decent end of the bench player. Aminu might be more of a gamble, but I like his upside. He could provide some decent rebounding, and maybe average 1 block per. But with Griffin, Kaman, Gomes, Butler, Jordan, etc. his minutes might be limited.

Who would you take and why?

I will provide my team for context:

Wade
Crawford
Barbosa
Battier
Duncan
Z. Randolph
Okur
Cousins
B. Wallace
Steve Blake
Afflalo
Taj Gibson
Aminu or Posey

Scoring is FG%, FT%, 3PTM, PTS, REB, AST, STL, BLK, TO

Arent there better options? Can you post the top 20 names on the WW?

Actually it's not. But since you seem to be unable to post more names than just Posey and Aminu I'll just advice you to take Aminu.

Well the waiver wire went through this morning (before there was a response to my OP), and someone else picked up Posey (I figured I might as well just keep Aminu, but I'm not sure if it was the right choice).

Right now, the only notable FAs are: Bonner, Bass, Willie Green, House, Will Bynum, Belinelli, Bayless, Austin Daye, James Johnson, James Anderson, Damion James, Whiteside, Paul George, Xavier Henry, Larry Sanders... so there actually is quite a bit of talent available, it's just a matter of picking up a guy who's going to get the minutes.

I think Belinelli could be a sleeper. Bayless as well, but he really doesn't provide much besides points. James Anderson is a dark horse because SA could use his help if he's able to provide an immediate impact. I like Sanders. Paul George is another, but I don't see him getting ideal minutes.

What do you think?

Wouldn't you rather take a chance with a player who might show more fantasy friendly stats? Even if none of these guys stand a big chance of getting loads of minute, I'd rather take a chance with Belli, Anderson, George etc. I think of this group I'd pick George.With Rush & Stephenson in legal troubles, Dunleavy always abig ?, I can see George get good minutes.
