Matt Barnes 

Post#1 » by celticfan42487 » Thu Jan 1, 2009 7:08 pm

What do you guys think of him?

His stats he was putting up were pretty fantastic from an offensive point of view, couple assist, double digit scoring, something like 55% fg, couple made 3s per game.

Since the J-Rich trade he's had one good game and two games where he combined for around 1-25 from the field.

It's obvious he'll get less playing time, but how bad do you think things will get for him.

I'm in a H2H league and someone just dropped him.

bad situation for him...If he was starting he'd be good for 12 and 6 with 2 three per, but that ft% isn't healthy and unless Hill/JRich go down, his minutes will be quite random and his stats will be a lot like the past 3-4 games...1 good game, 1 average and 1 poor...good for a deep league

If you are in a deep H2H league, Barnes will still provide some value. In a regular 12-team league, no. He does produce as a starter, but coming off the bench his value plummets.

I had him on my fantasy teams while he was starting, but as soon as Grant Hill took the starting job, I dropped Barnes. Since dropping him, I've watched his overall production decrease.

Avoid Barnes unless you are in a deep league celticfan42487.
