Are Kyle Korver and Matt Barnes must owns? 

Post#1 » by yakkoinfront » Sun Dec 30, 2012 8:56 pm

Kyle Korver (rank 37) and Matt Barnes (rank 47) are FAs in my league, and I noticed that their season rankings are unusually high. Considering their rankings, I was wondering if I should drop Jamal Crawford in favor of either of them (although I will lose PPG).

Any other possible drops on your team? Crawford has been a solid top-75 guy. Both guys should definitely be owned. What's the league size btw?

Yahoo H2H 10-category 10 teams
(FG%, Points, FTM, FT%, 3Ps, Reb, Ast, Steals, Blocks, TO)

James harden
Josh Smith
Steve Nash
Anderson Varejao
Brook Lopez
Danilo Gallinari
George Hill
Amar'e Stoudemire
Nene Hilario
Manu Ginobili
Larry Sanders
Jeremy Lin
Jamal Crawford

Also, some additional advice: I'm wanting to pick up Kawhi Leonard. I was wondering if I should drop either Amare or Nene?

Amare gets a boost w/ the extra cat

Korver/Barnes are 66 and 67 in your setup this season (per-game). Gino/Lin/Craw are right around there too. Leonard is 50th.

Obviously your league is inactive. Start streaming. Nene is your lowest-ranked player (82nd) aside from the N/A of Amare.

I'd check how active your teams are, figure out the odds of a shrewd owner interrupting your streaming, whether they have anyone to drop, etc... And likely decide to stream Crawford/Nene spots.

Yikes, Kwali is on waivers in your league too?

I would drop aMare or Nene for him

Err, mind explaining what "streaming" is?

Kawhi Leonard Update, the guy doesn't seem to be doing too well at the moment. He is 100% healthy, yet he has been averaging less than 25 min/game. Pop doesn't seem to want to unleash him any time soon. I think his value should be reassessed? gaining a steals leader is great and all, but if he can't contribute in other categories should we still consider him a "most own"


On the other hand, Matt Barnes has been on fire. He guy has been averaging 1.3 3-pointers, .9 blocks, and 1.3 steals, all over .500 shooting with a low TO. He won't be the starter any time soon, but he's still getting more minutes than Kawhi, and his performance is over a much larger sample size.

Barnes is posting top 50 value over the season, and top 20 value over the last 30 days. But importantly he's only own in 41% of the leagues.

I'm wondering why he's such a sleeper. Is it worth swapping Jamal for Barnes? (I keep wanting to do something with Crawford because he technically is my weakest player aside from Amare).

First of all, it's a long season. Don't overreact to short-term trends. If Leonard is posting anywhere near t50 value in just 27 minutes per game, that should speak to his long-term value.

Secondly, hi, my name is streaming.

Woah, this is the third time I've recommended streaming. You've yet to indicate you have taken any of this feedback under advisement. I'll stop repeating myself. Good luck.

If your having trouble deciding between multiple players there's probably not a clear cut answer, they are all about equal value. Just go with the hot hand if your league is that inactive where quality guys sit on the WW all the time.
