Post#1 » by PerkinsFor3 » Tue Jul 1, 2008 11:24 am

I can pick up any of these players:

Eric Gordon
Bayless

or from the FA list:

sessions
maxiel
ronnie brewer
thad young
jilian


who wpould you pick? this is a 10 team keepers league. we get to keep all players and its the regular 9 cat. roto league.

I'm leaning towards Eric Gordon or brewer. Thoughts?

I'd lead towards Thad Young.He showed all star potential last year.Gordon would be my second choice.

What are your team needs? I think for a keeper league that Jianlian, Young, Brewer and Gordon are pretty flat, talent wise. If you're short on big man production then Jianlian is really the only option (Maxiel just doesn't play enough). If you need three ball badly then go Gordon. If steals and % are what you need go with Young or Brewer (in that order) unless you specifically need a SG.

Bayless could be a long term home run, but I'm not sold enough yet.

Gordon - there's just a risk that he won't fill up the boxscore (think McCants, at least early on)

Bayless - he's going to blossom, but it won't show up on the boxscore since Portland is stacked

Sessions - Mo will probably start unless traded. Was Sessions a one-month wonder?

Maxiell - lacks upside. Won't get better than a 10/7/1-type player.

Ronnie Brewer - won't get more than 30 minutes; steals tapered off

Thad Young - probably my pick. I'm expecting 13/6/1.5 out of him this season and he will only get better

Jianlian - just not sure about him. NJ is a new situation, and they have loads of bigs, just none of them has panned out.

So Thad with Gordon/Brewer second

Thad young, then bayless if you have the space. Bayless and thad are also defintly the best if this is a keeper. Jian is 30 something and already on the decline lol.
