My D'Angelo Russell for CJ McCollum?

Would you trade my D'Angelo Russell for CJ McCollum?

I'm first in assists and I'm doing bad in fgs and fts.

8 category point league, 11 teams.

Thanks!

I'd take McCollum.

Depends what you want. Consistency vs star-power.

If you're a looking for a guy that give you 20+ points and 3+ 3s every night McCollum is your guy. He'll rarely ever struggle and has a very defined role on the Blazers, he can brings a sort of stability in scoring and 3s to an otherwise volatile fantasy team.

On the other hand, Russell's numbers are very explosive, he can put up some monster stats like 30+ pts, 5 asts on great efficiency every 3 games, but he'll also give you a dud 33% of the time as well. His efficiency is mediocre. He'd benefit teams lacking that wildcard, star-power that can occasionally win you some match ups.

Overall, McCollum would consistently be chosen higher (like the 3rd round) where as D'angelo is closer to the bottom of the 4th.

I got Devin Booker and D'Angelo Russell on my fantasy team and decided to keep Booker and trade away DAR for a stretch big. Any ideas for a stretch big on nearly equal value to DAR?

Well if you took that trade, then you robbed the guy!
