DJ Augustin potential 

Post#1 » by phailing101 » Thu Oct 15, 2009 8:05 pm

Hey guys- I'm an outsider but super interested in hearing your take on the PG rotation in Charlotte.

Selfishly, we have our annual keeper league draft coming up on Saturday. I am eye-balling Augustin as a potential player who could be a keeper for me next year. I know he went off in small bursts all last year when given the opportunity.

Is he going to be given the keys this year? I assume Felton is gone after this year or traded at all-star break to someone looking for contract flexibility?

Thanks alot guys!

DJ would be a great later round pick. ESPN has him ranked 87th but I'd take him higher considering its a keeper league.

If it's a keeper I would be snapping him up and running with him all the way to the bank.

What kind of value will he have this year though?

Will he start ultimately?

I doubt it. I'm also pretty sure he's not going to be playing any more minutes than he did last year, so I probably wouldn't take him if you're counting on production this year.

At peak, he could put up Jose Calderon numbers, which would rank in the 20s or 30s.
