Which player to keep... Love or Blatche? 

Post#1 » by hsiaokang0903 » Tue May 11, 2010 11:22 pm

I am in a 14-team roto dynasty league. Scoring is standard 9-cat plus OREB and A/T. Each manager gets to keep 5 players after season's end.

There are 4 players I consider as must-keep on the team: D.Howard, D.Williams, R.Rondo and A.Horford. So the big decision comes down to the final keeper spot.

I have a hard time deciding between Blatche and Love as each player has some pros and cons:
Blatche: One of the more productive players since all-star break. Really fill up the stat sheet. Production next season may suffer with the return of agent zero.
Love: He was very productive earlier this season, but kinda cooled off after being regalated to bench role. He does not seem to fit well alongside Jefferson. Thus I doubt he will start next season barring a trade. However, Love is the better O-rebounder and may have slightly higher upside as this is only his second year in the league.

Personally I like Love a little better long term due to our league settings, but his PT worries me. Other candidates include E.Gordon, J.Richardson and Kevin Martin. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Call me crazy, but if Blatche's last few months are any indication of future production, I think your decision should be between Love and Horford.

Either way though, I think Love is the guy you drop. He played off the bench and is a pretty common center. If Darko finds a place in Minnesota, then he could very well end up keeping his 6th man spot.

Didn't blatche turn the ball over 4 times a game after the all star break? J rich is still a solid keeper, especially since you have little to no keeper 3's
