I'm in a 10 team keeper league and we got to keep 5 players and 2 bubbles....I need help deciding on my last its a H2H standard cat yahoo league...

Here is my team:

Amare
caron butler
bynum
danny granger

I can't decide on the last
manu ginobili
roy
durant

next year we will get to keep 5 players and a rookie or a sophomore...so I want to stay on point...

Boy that's a tough one. Manu, when healthy, is easily the best of them right now. But he won't be healthy for a little bit. Roy is the better player than Durant right now, but I'm not sure about how much he'll improve exactly whereas I think Durant still could improve a pretty decent amount. You could use some assists, so I guess I'd go with Roy.

Roy...he's more well rounded then Durant.

would the crowdedness in Portland affect ROY?

Its close between Roy and Durant, but I'd take Durant. I think he has more upside and will make you stronger in PTS, 3PM, Rebs, Stls and Blks. Roy would help you get more assists and less TO's. I'd pick Durant and then pick a player that gets you assists with your first pick.

that makes a lot of sense...what positions do each play in yahoo leagues this year? I know roy gave you a G position last year and durant GF right?

I^d take Durant as well.IMO Roy and Durant will have similar value this year but Roy has some injury concerns not to mention that Durant has significantly more upside which is very important for a keeper league.

For me the choice would be Durant and it would be an easy choice, and these are my main reasons:

durant.

-he still has huge room for improvements
-he's a clear #1 option for his team

ROY.

Durant's FG% is horrible.

take Durant.. for the last 3-4 months of the season.. his field goal percentage was pretty good actually..

Plus he should avg 1+ blocks and steals and 3s a game..
