Hi All,

I'm in a 9-Cat H2H keeper league (auction draft) and was wondering if I should drop Tiago for A. Burks? As you can tell, I'm in need of a PG badly and although Burks isn't a PG, he did put up some nice stats in his first game. Do you guys think he can keep it up? Or should I just keep Tiago since Duncan just went down? Demarre Carrol is also available...

Ty Lawson Den - PG
Klay Thompson GS - SG,SF 
Joe Johnson Bkn - SG,SF
LeBron James Mia - SF,PF 
Nikola Vucevic Orl - PF,C
Andre Iguodala GS - SG,SF
Ryan Anderson NO - PF,C
Zach Randolph Mem - PF,C
Lance Stephenson Ind - SG
Tiago Splitter SA - C
Omer Asik Hou - C
Trevor Ariza Was - SG,SF
Chauncey Billups Det - PG,SG

Feedback would be appreciated

Matt Barnes is the guy I'd drop.

Barnes is stuck in a rotation with way too many Wing Players.

Thabo at least gets consistent minutes and can produce from time to time while not hurting you in any stats.

As for Kaman, keep him cuz he'll get minutes as a Center and produce from time to time.

Hey, is Garcia worth dropping Jenkins for, or will Jenkins come back and get a larger role?

Also, is McRoberts going to be a better fantasy player to have than Patrick Patterson?

Olynyk or Andrew Nicholson?

Tony Parker
Batum
Blake Griffin
Mike Connely
Spencer Hawes

Does Brandon Bass have any real potential here? He's an extremely high efficiency guy, helps the %s and TOs and only hurts you in assists and steals...

Thinking about dropping either Greivis Vasquez or Brandon Knight for either Bass or PJ Tucker.

My team (10-team league):
Steph Curry
Anthony Davis
Joakim Noah
Tim Duncan
Paul Millsap
Jeff Teague
Jeff Green
Kyle Lowry
JR Smith
Andre Drummond
Greivis Vasquez
Jamal Crawford
Brandon Knight
Ray Allen

Currently underperforming in FT% thanks to Lowry and Crawford. A little heavy in Assists and could use some more rebounds. Probably will be a little 3 heavy as well when Smith and Knight start playing.

yeah harkless will get a ton of minutes till Harris gets back. i wouldnt drop waiters personally, maybe its becuase i have him in 2 leagues, but i think his potential is too high. if you dont care about that fg% he could be really nice as the year goes on.

i would take Kmart since his ft% is a huge boost over those other guys. Afflalo and KMart will get you more points, Korver slightly more threes and boards.

Meeks or Foye or corey brewer?

Just my opinion.

1) Brewer - no real competition in Minny even if Budinger comes back.

2) Foye - Gallinari is on his way back and Brian Shaw looks like he wants to play both Wilson Chandler and Gallo together whenever they're ready. Means bench time for Foye.

3) Meeks - Young and Xavier Henry are more capable options for the Lakers, not to mention they can both play SG too.

Overall efficiency, I'd go for Korver.

Oladipo not starting in Orlando is an issue yet to be resolved and though it looks like Nelson is the expendable one, we can never tell if Oladipo is indeed better at point guard or shooting guard.

Martin, I had him before in many leagues but he's only limited to threes and points.

Korver is the more rounded and safer option, IMO.

Is Nate Wolters going to keep the starting job? Or will he go back to a 3rd string player after Ridnour and Knight come back.

unless youre in like a 16 team league theres no reason to consider picking him up, knight and ridnour will make sure that his playing time is limited.

Hey, Im in a 10 team H2H 8 Cat league. I recently dropped faverani and reggie jackson for brandon knight and wilson chandler. They were recently dropped, do you guys think theyre good pickups? Im just hoping they arent injury prone and dont stay injured for much longer..

I don't think Korver plays enough minutes to be truly relevant in fantasy. Kevin Martin is not as well rounded but he's going to give you 20 every night IMO
