Matt Barnes vs Amir Johnson 

Post#1 » by Levity » Wed Jan 16, 2013 7:12 pm

who do you think will have more value heading into season end?

Barnes has been terrific all season, and even with hill back, the fact still remains that barnes is the clippers best sf and will produce off the bench. but when the team as a whole gets healthy (billups included), do you think barnes will still be a strong player going into fantasy playoffs

Amir Johnson has been a fantasy monster since Toronto's big men have gone down with injuries. And even upon their return, it looks like D.Casey intends to keep amir in the starting line up, and hopefuly will still be given 30 mins a game.

so my question is, out of these two players, not keeping needs in mind, who do you see as a better fantasy player going into season end/ fantasy playoffs.

Amir Johnson has always done well when given the minutes AND doesn't get into foul trouble. But knowing Dwane Casey, I feel like Amir would lose a bunch of minutes once Valanciunas and (as much as I hate to say it) Bargnani returns. Raptor fans have loved the Ed Davis/Amir Johnson duo, but Dwane Casey seems pressured by Bryan Colangelo to play Bargnani even when he shoots a horrendous 2 for 19...

Matt Barnes on the other hand has been a great surprise this season. I'm a little biased cause I have him on my team but so far he's been a Roto stud as an FA pick up. A few nights ago he was averaging at least 1 three, 1 steal, and 1 block. Again, I may be biased but I'd think Barnes has more value from here on out...
