Klay Thompson blows and so does Pekovic. 

Post#1 » by USP123 » Sat Nov 10, 2012 5:14 am

Horribly underperforming. Klay's FG% is awful, he barely rebounds or dishes assists and is prone to the Turnover. Not sure what the hype was about. Any reason I should keep either in a 8 man H2H with guys like David West (who I dropped for Kirilenko) or Wall, O.J. Mayo, Thaddeus Young are on board?

Also James Harden, what the hell man!

well i mean hardens dip is making up for his god like smashing he put down on everyone in the first 3 games. harden will bounce back, i think hes that good.

apart from fg% ALL of klays numbers have gone up. hes doing fine. dont know why you would take klay expecting him to get you a bunch of dimes and boards. hes a shooter. he'll get you 3's and points with some decent others stats. his fg% will normalize, just like everyone else **** 5 games into the season (unless you expect kobe to shoot 56% the rest of the year). i love klay, dunno why youd drop him.

pek has been disappointing on the boards, but it depends on what you need. for someone whose not a shot blocker though hes doing decent there. i like pek as not many bigs are going to shoot 70%+ from the line. i think his numbers will get better too, just like ak47s will drop. especially when love gets back.

dunno why youd drop west hes been a beast. in a 8 man league though im sure most of the teams are pretty stacked though so i guess id have to see all the rosters before i could comment.

basically youre overreacting to numbers like 2 weeks into the season imo.

if you wanna talk about someone whose been absolute trash, given nothing this season thus far, and doesnt show much signs of life, lets talk about jared dudley. **** that guy.

Pekovic is playing fairly close to his overall numbers from last season after a slow start so it's actually pretty encouraging, and that's without KLove and Rubio to help him get looks.

Add Ersan Ilyasova to that list too. I thought I got a steal in the 8th round, but this guy should have been undrafted.

Agree with TF.

Klay, while having a slow start is still around top 80 value right now. Pek has kind of sucked (don't know what's going to with his rebounding) but he's still top 100 value and has been moving up every game.

I really hope Harden does bro, I really felt like he'd be first round talent being the first option and based off his explosion to start the season. Lets see where he goes from here.

Yeah I got Klay for his 3's, but when he doesn't even make that many to bear with the rest of his stat line, it gets kind of frustrating you know? Will give him a week and see if he changes.

Dropped West because I was stacked in points and rebounds, kind of wish I didn't now though with Granger being out 3 months.

The thing about Pek is I know something like 13 points/8 Rebounds, a block are okay and expected, but he turns over the ball quite a bit for a big and has ridiculously stupid shooting nights. Going to probably replace him with Thaddeus Young.

And man I drafted Dudley, I feel you. Sacked him for Collison the first week after realizing he wouldn't replicate numbers like last season.

Sorry to hear that as well as for the guy who took him in the fourth/fifth round in my league.

There are just way too many options in Milwaukee.
