Ryan Anderson becoming a must-start?

Ryan Anderson of the Magic has been flat out balling for the past few games. He looks like the real deal to me. I know Brandon Bass is still starting and Anderson is coming off the bench but he is much more productive than Bass. SVG probably will pencil Anderson as a starter soon. Is he approaching "must-start" status? I've got Chris Kaman on my roster. I feel like Kaman is a waste of space because DeAndre Jordan seems like the center of the future for the Clippers. Should I let Kaman go and pick up Anderson? I'm just afraid that Kaman might come back and post his usual numbers. I got DeMarcus Cousins playing center right now

Ryan Anderson is balling outta control! He's been a must start ever since he came back from injury. If you look at his numbers last year when Rashard was suspended, it was the same thing. Tons of 3's and doesn't turn the ball over. He doen't need to start to produce. 2.9 3's and 0.3 to's! No way Kaman comes back and gets the same amount of rebounds/looks. It's Blake/Gordon/Baron all the way now. Having said that I couldn't bring myself to drop Kaman.

The problem with Kaman is that there is a good chance he gets traded before the deadline. If he ends up at a team like the Knicks (who have been rumoured to have him as a back up option to Melo) then his stats will probably go through the roof.

I agree with you guys about Kaman. Well, I got Sessions, Kaman, and Monroe as reserves. I think my best bet is to drop Monroe for Anderson but Monroe has been awfully consistent lately. Thoughts?

Another tough one.

Both have been really consistent since Christmas.

Anderson gives you threes and less turn overs.

Monroe gives you steals and has a slight edge in rebounding and minutes.

It depends what you need, but Monroe is basically guaranteed minutes where as if Anderson hits a rough patch he could see a big drop in minutes.

That being said I would probably go with Anderson over Monroe.
