In recent developments, Granger or Korver? 

Post#1 » by yakkoinfront » Mon Jan 28, 2013 12:45 pm

(10-cat, 10-team league)

It seems like a silly question, but the numbers don't seem too different.
Granger is coming off of 3 months absence to a team where he'll no longer be the #1 option (Paul George has emerged in a big way). Korver's role has expanded mightily in the past two weeks, and seems to be holding.

Korver will get more threes, better FG%, less TOs. Granger will get more FTs. They should have identical FT%s, assists, rebounds, steals. And I'm holding them both at ~15ppg.


What do you guys think?

But I'm also concerned that Korver will only play 2 games to Granger's 3 in the second to last week of the playoffs.

This being my first time playing Fantasy, I was wondering how big of a deal that is?

Korver all the way. Granger is still not back on court & he could be limited for a while.
Korver is averaging 40 mpg lately and make the most of it, no reason to stash a question mark over him.
If you were in a keeper league & assured to be in the playoffs maybe, but in a 10-team league, go for Korver!

Interesting question. I'll go with Granger though. Worse FG% but much better block/steal #s, FT%, fairly similar 3s, more boards and points.

Thanks everyone.

Again, how big is the "number of games in the playoffs" issue? I thought that one of the goals was to get as many games in the playoffs as possible. 3 Granger games would > 2 Korver games.

yeah~ I lose 1 game. Basically if I pick up Korver, I get a guy playing just one day over the week.

*I also lose another game on the 3rd to last week by picking up Korver.


I guess my hand is forced to get Granger~

Also, note that my league is 10-cat. Which also gauges FTs made. If Granger hits his average, that will be a considerable step above Korver.
