I'd drop AK47 for Garcia or Thabo .Unless another injury in Jazz frontcourt occurs(Korver is playing well,they have Harpring who still gets some pt from time to time,Miles gets 15+20 mpg hence AK47's pt probably will be around 28-30 in the rest of the season),I dont see AK47 having better stats than Garcia or Thabo in the rest of the season.

Garcia has been a much better performer than AK47 in the last month and his overall season rank is very close to him anyhow. On the other hand,Thabo's overall season rank is much lower but he is ranked 22nd in the last 30 days which displays more upside than Garcia. But keep in mind that he benefitted a bit from the absence of Durant and Green.

Since both players bring very rare combination of stats from their position(which is what makes them so valuable and ironically what made AK47 in his heyday a top-20 pick ) I'm torn between the two but you can make your choice depending on your need:If you need better fg% and more points & 3's;go with Cisco;if you need less turnovers,more rebounds and more steals go with Thabo. I think if I had your team,I'd have gone with Thabo since you have plenty of scorers/3 pt shooters(especially after Manu's possible return next week) and you dont have anyone except Tyrus that hurts you fg% so your team must be in good shape in that regard hence Thabo's stats might be more useful for your team.
