how is everyone that picked him going to adjust to this? How badly will this affect his value around the league?

Pek just got a big bump.

Thank goodness for pek, I would've been completely screwed if I didn't have him on my roster as a backup.

Wondering what others had in mind though, I got really lucky with Pekovic, what are some other posters thinking of doing?

i got pekovic in the 10th round in my last draft. He's surprisingly ranked pretty low on yahoo

This is exactly why you shouldn't have your draft early, luckily I haven't had mine yet

It depends how confident you are in your drafting skills. If you think you're a good enough manager to survive the first 4 to 6 weeks of the season then go ahead and take him. I would personally bump him down to the late first round. Yes, he's going to miss some games but in that range you're dealing with question marks anyways (Dirk, Bynum) who don't have the same upside as Love.

Just wanted to add that what I said only applies to H2H. He's a second rounder in roto. Missed games hurt a lot more in that format.

^ I know right, but I had to be the commish this year and organize everyone's availability. It is tough when people are all working/in school in different locations. But the league keeps us together you know?

I have no idea why pekovic is ranked so low. Anyways, do you think I should trade Klove? I'm sure he'll fetch a good value right now and I'm worried that he might not come back full force with the broken hand.... I guess pek's value will rise too which means I should consider shopping him as well. Thoughts?

Outside of Lebron/KD, you think love can fetch any of the top first rounders? If so who and is it worth it?
