I already have a bunch of PG's, but should I pick up Isiah? Is there anything you guys thing I hsould improve on? Waivers come off tomorrow...thoughts?

obv pick him up

pick him up. Drop Fields or Speights.

Dropped him for fields...I'm wondering if theres anything else I can do. Thoughts? Thikn I should move a couple PG's for a big or forwards?

move thornton or butler. not sure i would've dropped fields. i think i like fields more than butler. i think fields helps your needs more than butler does.

what categories are you playing?

FG% FT% 3PM REB AST STL BLK TO PTS

for chuckers there's a thin line between fantasy asset and fantasy cancer. marcus thornton is a perfect example. last year he shot 45%, which is about average for fantasy and prob slightly above-average for his position. this year it's 41.5%, which is obviously terrible.

and it's particularly terrible because he shoots so much. even if he's at 45%, that's not optimal, because he's heavily weighting your team's fg% toward average, which is obviously not what you want. now he's heavily weighting your team toward terrible in that particular category.

jack of all trade homies like landry fields get underrated because they tilt your team to slightly-above-average in a bunch of categories. that's pretty valuable, even if it doesn't seem like it on a day-to-day basis. high fg%, good steals, a contribution in 3-pointers, 3.0 assists and a microscopic turnover rate is extremely valuable. if his FT% didn't fall off the charts id be pimping the **** out of him.

he's way more valuable in TO leagues, but even without them he ranks 91st on espn's player rater. add in one of his best categories and what does he rank? top 75 or close to it. without it he still ranks one spot ahead of butler. and the thing is butler is redundant on your team. now that you've said your league counts TOs i change "i think" to "i know."
