MarShon Brooks or Brandon Knight? 

Post#1 » by Jay_Hawk » Wed Feb 15, 2012 3:44 am

Hey guys, I noticed Brandon Knight is on my WW and was wondering if I should drop MarShon Brooks for him?

Just picked Brooks up, and he's been struggling in his two games since returning. Knight averages more assists and threes, but his FG% is nothing too special.

So ultimately, what do you guys think- Brandon Knight or MarShon Brooks??

I'd keep Brooks and wait it out. He'll take a scoring hit when Brook is back but when MarShon was completely healthy and rolling early in the season he was much better than Knight.

Thanks guys. Alright, new question- MarShon Brooks, JR Smith, or Raymond Felton??

Felton was just dropped in my league, and although he's been struggling I could definitely use his assists. JR's good from three- which is a category thats killed me lately- but MarShon might not be too far behind him there.

So what do you guys think? Felton, Brooks, or Smith?

Note- I have three Nets players on my team (Lopez, MarShon, and Humphries), and currently two Knicks (Melo and Amare, sadly) so picking up JR would give me three there also. I usually try to steer clear of having 2+ guys from one team, but it hasn't killed me so far.

Also- it's not as though I'm trying to drop MarShon, I just dont want to get burned by the waiver wire again. I've essentially lost out on a lot of guys I've second guessed myself on (Lin, Pekovic, Hawes, Rubio) when simply coming here and asking these types of questions usually knocks some sense into me.

tough to say. i dont think much of brooks though so there's nothing wrong in looking for an upgrade

jr smith's #s are nice in limited minutes, and the knicks both run and have a need. felton can only go up though. regression to the mean should not be underestimated. i'd grab felton
