What do you guys think of Al-Farouq Aminu. He was awesome for a bit, but now it looks like Vinny Del Negro might be going back to the vets (which I do not understand at all. We're talking Ryan Gomes and Rasual here!) But if he's not playing, should I dump him for Ty Lawson or say Goran Dragic. They might be good 2nd half season guys if Billups or Nash get traded ... otherwise, who would I pick up instead? Jason Maxiell?

Aminu over all those guys it's too early to be hanging onto someone like Ty Lawson. Only thing that boosts his value a bit right now is the Billups injury (nose, wrist).

Who knows if Billups will miss time but if he does Lawson's value skyrockets.

I owned Aminu just last week and am on the verge of picking him up again (kind of want to see if I can get anyone to bite on Troy Murphy first). I do agree with you though Del Negro's rotations aren't making any sense right now.

Even throwing out fantasy basketball for a minute Aminu is your prized rookie who is exceeding expectations as a starter... Why not give him more minutes?

Also I'm not sure what the deal with Brandon Rush is (he started today, possibly supplanted Dunleavy as the starter?) but consider him as well if he's on the waiver wire. His production won't be the most consistent but Jim O'brein will give him minutes anyway.
