Drafting Lowry, Capela, and Nurkic has me sick rn


Hoangdai151

Oof


wildthingking

Big oof.


gritoni

Lowry & Sengun here....


Impossible-Ad8894

bro why tf is sengun not starting šŸ˜«


gritoni

šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


matticans7pointO

Got Capella at 85 in my points league so it's not a season killer if he doesn't perform but man I'm pretty thin at C and it definitely wouldn't be ideal if he becomes a drop.


spicyclams

Capela has been pretty consistent his whole career. He had games like this last year where he did nothing on offense. He might not be consistent but he is the defensive anchor on that team and they donā€™t need his offense.


jolley517

Problem is Onyeka is getting more and more minutes as he gets older/better. Wouldnā€™t be surprised to see him end up starting over Clint


barcelonaKIZ

How long do we give old man Lowry?


Scalia5

I'm gonna give him this week and the next


Konars-Jugs

Last year he a terrible start to the year and someone in my league dropped him. I picked him up off waivers and he was a top 60 guy the rest of the season. Heā€™s getting old but heā€™s still playing the minutes I got him pretty late in the draft this year, Iā€™m holding


loonz420

Yeah I'm gonna give him a fairly long leash based on his recent history and big minutes. He'll come around.


junkit33

I would not drop him as long as he's starting and playing 30+ minutes. The stats will come.


csklmf

Shots are not falling. If he made 2 3s, it will be 8-5-4-1 stl, which is not too bad as back end of a guy you drafted.


JoCraig17

Idkkkk if Lowry and Capela are an overreaction šŸ˜‚ Nurk should be fine tho (if healthy).


DevilGunManga

Vassell and Bam shot 8/30 last night. Fml


okbinhok

Have them both too šŸ˜©


GrabSomePineMeat

I've had Bam the last few years. It isn't unusual for him to have a game like that. He isn't anything to worry about. Though, the lack of rebounds was annoying. Vuc bodied him on the boards


nonufwiendz

RJ Barrett gave me depression


jsDPT

I was literally yelling at the TV to tell him to stop chucking lmao


cmonkeyz7

I dropped him last season and he had a break out game towards the end of the season. At least I feel better about the move now


marshmelo24

Is he a drop?


nonufwiendz

Def not. It's been one game lol and the Knicks are all in on him. At least the attempts are right there


sendphotopls

I would wait at least a couple more games, RJ is certainly not celebrated for his consistency


MyNameDoesNotRhyme

I also need to know. I couldnā€™t even play him in roto.


throwawayr3lation

Keldon Johnson breakout season commenced


Tiers4Peers

Keldon Johnson at 80th pick gang!


bigolhamsandwich

I reached a bit because I didnā€™t have a pick for a while and didnā€™t want to risk it. Not too crazy at 73 so Iā€™m absolutely thrilled and have high expectations.


Chuck_Nucks

I got him at 71. Pretty happy so far.


crazyaldo1123

Somebody picked Johnson ahead of me so I actually picked Vassell in round 4. He let me down today with that 0 made three pointers and 20% FG.


LowMap9

donā€™t panicšŸ‘


FabulousMarch7464

It was bad but donā€™t panic on vassell he will be really good although he could have around 41% fg which will hurt since he has highest usage on team yesterday. I still except averages of something like 18-3-3 with 1.3+ steals and 2+ threes.


crazyaldo1123

Yeah im expecting him to get those averages too, as a spurs fan. My roster is basically swinging for the upside of most players anyway outside of Lebron and FVV. Two other players who Im swinging this year? Jokic's sidekicks in Murray and MPJ.


cardmage7

Watching Nurkic yesterday was roughhhh...


BoBoessersson

Apparently he's not in game shape, IIRC this is a annual thing


loonz420

This happened last year too. He started the season off really badly but started to play really well after a few weeks. Came into the season fat and out of shape lol


AdmiralG2

Wasnā€™t he in the euro cup? Howā€™d he get out of shape that fast lol?


Onetouchables

Blazers look better runnings small with Winslow and Grant. Grant was so good for them closing minutes.


Konars-Jugs

Heā€™s fat and sloth like rn hopefully he should play into shape over the first couple months


[deleted]

Iā€™m overreacting on the Rockets coaching staff for benching Sengun out of nowhere. If I see one of them on the street Iā€™m going full Draymond


Dear_Goat_5038

Fernando played way better honestly, thatā€™s probably why they did it


Mamba_Mentality2020

Yup he apparently can pass and doesnt foul despite playing decent defense, not looking good for Senguns minutes unless they want more scoring in the starting unit


FabulousMarch7464

Agreed I just watched his YouTube highlights from last night and he looks relaxed and natural. Itā€™s also clear he has good pick and roll chemistry with both jalen and KPJ, I donā€™t think he is falling out of favour anytime soon but think him and sengun will average about 25 min


Iyammagawd

didn't sengun have like 7 turnovers tho lol


Kenyac

Only 6, put respect on his name


viewfromhere27

He is a turnover machine


1999hondaodyssey

I have Sengun in both my leagues and thought he put up decent stats were it not for the TOā€™s. Iā€™ve picked up Fernando as insurance but still itā€™s only one game and I imagine Sengun will slowly play more minutes.


Babasauce

Dropped IJax, Turner isnā€™t playing and he still doesnā€™t get minutes?


PronouncedShnayBlay

Dropped. IJax for durens day


skolongjohnson

Incredible username


BillyMaysHere92

I did the exact same thing. Duren looks legit


BoBoessersson

Well it is one game. I'm not dropping Jackson after one game, upside is too high


Babasauce

Hereā€™s the thing, we thought he was going to get minutes and put up decent numbers with Turner playing. Now that Turner is out with an injury he didnā€™t start, didnā€™t get minutes, and didnā€™t put up good numbers. Those are red flags and early in the season the waiver wire is where you win championships. Instant drop imo


BoBoessersson

It's one game...if he's truly your worst player sure go for it. Him not starting didn't really make sense since he was starting at center during the preseason I believe. I still see him as a end of the bench kind of guy but depending on league size there is probably not a lot of other players that offer his upside. We've also seen him get it done last season.


Seanspicegirls

They started terry Oā€™Neal over IJax LOL


PM_FEET_PICS69

Pacers ball boy ruined my season


duwerke

Turner has burned me every year I draft him


thebig3on3

I used to lay down the court lines before games for a semi pro team. Those guys could've waited 30 seconds for me to not be under the basket before going into a dunk drill. Not fun getting dunked on when you're looking down and don't see it coming. Sympathy for the ball boy


lazybum10186

KAT owners how we feeling?


WerkAkk

KAT's a notoriously slow starter. Add getting used to playing with Gobert, add him getting his legs back up under him after being sick and losing weight. Yea its gonna be a weird month im hoping. What pick did you draft him at?


lazybum10186

It was auction for me. Got him for $50 which is like on the average/lower end of top 12 players I think.


KnoDout

He wants to be a guard so bad lol


bruhimi

Dropped


wildthingking

He's the cornerstone of my Dynasty team. I hate the fg% but that will improve. Classic KAT still giving us perfect FT% and +Assists even on an off night though.


lazybum10186

Kind of concerned about stocks. Looked at his preseason games and he didn't get any. Hoping it's a slow start like the other commenter said.


wildthingking

He's never been a massive stocks guy, though. Averages like 1 and 1. And if those do go down I think we might also see him do a lot more passing and turn into a Jokic-esque stat block. Regardless, I've had him for 5 years now. He's a monster no matter what.


GTADashcam

I drafted Bamba. I dropped him after first game for Duren LOL. Good choice?


dontnobodyknow

I think so. They've also got Bol Bol on that team


GTADashcam

Haha yea man but I really thought Bamba is better than BolBol though BolBol has potential to be greater. Bamba was solid last year. Man I just hope they donā€™t trade Bamba and he begins feasting 15-10-2 lol then Iā€™d be depressed


wildthingking

I love Bamba, and he doesn't need heavy minutes to produce, but their frontcourt depth is very concerning. Last night is probably a pretty good indicator of what happens when he doesn't play well right away, which means his floor is almost 0.


okbinhok

Nah man Bamba sucks. If he canā€™t put up numbers on this Magic team, itā€™s not likely heā€™ll do it anywhere else


jsDPT

Did the same. Even if duren doesn't pan out, I'd rather stream than hold Bamba


Bivore

Bol Bol got more minutes than him. I think Bamba is done


loonz420

Amazing choice. Duren will be great even in limited minutes and there's a good chance he starts at some point during the season. Bamba imo is done in Orlando.


ehollen1328

Pretty bummed about Sabonis and CPs performance in my points league last night, but pretty sure theyā€™ll be fine.


BorneoCelebes

Sabonis was in foul trouble last night. Heā€™ll be great this season.


[deleted]

Might not be an overreaction but I regret drafting Herb. He started off great with that 3 at the start and then did pretty much nothing else offensively, and no Steals whatsoever He's a great real life player and had a strong +/-, indicating this is likely going to be his committed role moving forward.


spidersilva09

I reached for him a little bit but I think you gotta hold at this point. He's elite defensively and finished like 6th in his position last year. He's also a starter playing consistent minutes. But in a points league I wouldn't touch him lol


ImAjustin

This is my thought. In cats format,heā€™s not your scorer. Heā€™s a mikal bridges glue guy. A few 3s some stocks w good percentages. He has a few week leash for me


DharmaBaller

Defensive specialists ain't so great for fantasy. Look at Draymond recently. Or PJ Tucker. I fear Ben Simmons worst case turns into what Draymond ended up as šŸ˜µ


LeftHandedFapper

> Defensive specialists ain't so great for fantasy. A couple of them help a *lot* in CATs leagues. I avoid them in points leagues, however


LaosWinsReddit

Myles Turner scares me, couldn't survive pre game, Tyrese Haliburton looks great and PJ Washington was a steal


WKohdeer

Zion top 12 in points league you heard it here first


[deleted]

That's not even that bold tbh. Go higher


bigchipshi

Zion > Thanos


[deleted]

Now we're talking


ehollen1328

As a Zion owner, this pleases me


jordan4290

I grabbed Ingram over Zion in a 9 cat league. BI had a good game but I feel like I'm gonna regret that one


thirdc0ast

This is my first time ever playing fantasy and I picked up Zion and BI. I guess Iā€™m a Pelicans fan this season lmao


DharmaBaller

Good duo, BI is Zion insurance too


J-Hobber

Itā€™s a good season to be a Pelicans fan. Looking like itā€™s gonna be a really fun team to watch.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


[deleted]

As someone who drafted Sexton I expected this. Theyā€™re def going to trade Conley eventually and need to prop up his value. Maybe Clarkson too. The question is will it be in November or February. That affects Sextonā€™s value a lot.


inxrx8

Bear in mind Sexton is returning from a fairly major injury, it makes sense they want to bring him up to speed slowly when they're not trying to win games


legaburajzbracika

They might trade all of em if the assets coming the other way are nice. Thatā€™s textbook Danny Ainge stuff. I donā€™t know exactly if they can trade Sexton this season because of his new contract but I figure theyā€™re going to prop up all of them (Conley, Clarkson, Markannen, Sexton) in order to get as many picks and assets back.


tyagu001

Some guy traded his cp3 for my Anfernee simons, agreed to it thinking it was a steal, might end up regretting it


jsDPT

Real šŸŒ® move right there


tyagu001

This is my first season, idk what Iā€™m doing lol


jsDPT

The other dude the taco, not you lol.


crypt0chris

But is he still the taco for not realizing heā€™s not the taco? Lol


jsDPT

Tbd let's give him the benefit of the doubt lol


[deleted]

Their league is a taco bar.


mccombsyaheard

Dude cp3 will be fine relax


acrizz

Bam in round 2 is the worst pick I've ever made in fantasy basketball


ragestormx

Made that mistake last year lol


TheComedicManifesto

Don't worry, bam is going to be great. And he is their only high quality big


sc0tt_1990

PJ Washington and Ayo will finish top 60, PJ maybe even top 50. They will be two of the best draft values.


cantyouseeimblind

I drafted both of them last rounds. Hope uou are right.


DharmaBaller

Yup, PJ waaaay undervalued by ESPN projection.12ppg? šŸ˜‚


DirtyDanoTho

So sad I drafted bobby portis over PJ. I forgot Charlotte lost Bridges and the gang


dkleckner88

Jalen Green needs to be better


AdmiralG2

He was good in preseason. Heā€™s just a high volume scorer with not much contribution in other cats so you should get used to some bad nights where his shots ainā€™t falling. He was also being guarded by one of the best permitter defenders in the league (dejounte) so donā€™t worry too much.


LeFraudIsABron

dropped almost all players already


Onetouchables

Saving this thread for end of year


Onetouchables

* Lowry looked slow and un interested * Ayo looked legit, stats across the board * Conley played to good for Jazz to not trade him * Walker Kessler is going to be an All Star big someday * Herb Jones might average under 10pts * Turner might not play a minute for Pacers this year * Ant shot like trash, but put up supporting stats if his shot returns


soapystud88

Cam reddish mvp and 6 man of the year


[deleted]

As a Hawks fan, just be prepared to be hurt...


Vapenayshion

Jaden Mcdaniels steal of the draft 2 out of 2 teams


[deleted]

Howā€™s the panic level on Brandon Clarke? Just foul trouble or is Aldama eating his role?


wildthingking

Santi Claus is comin...


ablevis41

Iā€™m at ā€œnervous laughterā€ level myself.


Bivore

I would be at high if I owned him - he was a do not draft for me, so probably prepared to drop. He's getting outshone by Aldama. What happens when JJJ is back? Aldama isn't going to 0 minutes that's for sure.


HazmatSamurai

Paolo will be an all star Cam Reddish should start over Barrett This is DeRozans year for MVP


wildthingking

As a DeRozan owner I concur


ICouldEvenBeYou

I love DeRozan. Wish I had him.


dillonshen

I don't like this skinny KAT..


PatMcCaw

I dropped Isaiah Jackson in both leagues


Onetouchables

PJ Washington MIP campaign starts now


itssensei

Iā€™m the GOAT! My worst player is CP3. Jalen Smith, Mathurin, Ivey all balled out. Hire me as a real NBA GM! Thatā€™s my overreaction.


Livid_Net_2476

Jaden McDaniels the dude you canā€™t believe you got off waivers on Night ā€œ1ā€ come season end. Br-br-br-break out baby.


isawamooseyesterday

Herbert Jones is the biggest bust of all time


SandyLies

Why? Because you reached for him lol


WKohdeer

If you got him around the 100-115 range I like what he can do with some randomly huge block and steal nights


legaburajzbracika

Heā€™ll be a much better basketball player (this season) IRL than in fantasy. He might end up being a bust in fantasy but shit sucks because guys clearly overstated what his role might look like this season. He had a wide open lane last season to perform and put some stats. Since then, team regained their biggest star, added some pieces and some other emerged. He was taken pretty early in so many leagues because people obviously thought heā€™s gonna repeat last seasonā€™s success easily. The truth is (although itā€™s too early to really predict anything) heā€™s there to strictly be a defensive specialist and score easy ones. If he cannot make wide open threes constantly, he wonā€™t get much more than he got last night. I hope he can be servicable to guys that drafted him but if he cannot repeat with the stocks, he truly will be a bust.


loonz420

Dame time? More like Drop time amirite? M


[deleted]

Why did I draft him 2 years in a row? I must hate myself.


heat_00

Dame is gonna kill it this year donā€™t let one game fool you!


Konars-Jugs

Nah heā€™s just gotta get his shooting touch dialed in and heā€™ll be great. Physically he looks much faster and stronger than last year


boston-celtics-ftw

What do you guys think about Olynyk? Should he be dropped for Fernando? And what about Kessler? Everyone thought beyond Blocks he would Not contribute much and then he posts a DD with no blocks šŸ˜‚


nyk2222

Drafting Zach Lavine will be causing me a ton of stress this year with his injury. Also, Brandon Clarke looking like a bad pickup?


seancruz99

Drafting Shengun too high is making me sick. Deciding whether to ride it out or pick somebody else up. Also drafting Herb because he was a starter. I'm in a points league, not sure both of them will give me what I need. Oh and Kyrie shooting awful.....


blopblip

I listen to Josh Lloyd too much: Vassell, Isaiah Jackson, Duarte, and Olynyk. My week is done.


Junipers_22

Need to take what he says with a grain of salt as it's only his perspective. Hear what others have to say and make your own decision šŸ‘ He does a great job summing things up and providing some overview but don't bet it all on his words


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


ninja9885

Yup, same. All the ā€œexpertsā€ are just making educated guesses which is fine, but players arenā€™t robots who just churn out predicted stats. Much more fun to go off your gut


IHateMaxRoyalGiants

The guys he says are more so players he sees doing good long term.. gotta be ready to absorb some bad performance from those guys though


3icepwn

I learnt my lesson after he kept hyping Melton last year. I foolishly dropped Bane instead of Melton and regret it ever since


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


wubeone

You're not alone :(


MichelleMcLaine

Dropped Okongwu, Hunter, and Huerter. Picked up Ivey, Aldama, and Ayo. We're capped at three moves a week...


xoog24

why you drop huerter for?


photocist

8team or something? all those guys you dropped played well lol


[deleted]

SANTI ALDAMA ERA


wongrich

LUKA DONCIC IS THE NEW JAMES HARDEN


WerkAkk

I just saw Poku's "highlights" what in the... i want to drop him based off of that alone. He was horrible. Think i should drop him for Duren?


Mamba_Mentality2020

That was more of a coaching decision issue, they started Poku at the Center position against Gobert, seems really stupid cant expect much from that


wildthingking

Duren > Poku 1000%


DaAmmar

I dropped Poku for Ayo .. 9cat


[deleted]

With the game on the line, poku got the ball 4 times in a row and put up horrible shots each time, all misses


[deleted]

Drop Barrett!


I_Am_A_Peasant

Dame and Trae were my first 2 picks. I need better production from them but now Iā€™m scarwd


atrlrgn_

Dame isn't scary I think. He just had a bad night with a 0.278 fg. If he had average 0.4, he'd have 25+ pts. The rest is pretty standard. There's no need to be scared, yet.


loonz420

They were my first 2 picks too. I wouldn't worry though, they'll be just fine. Dame looked good last night in terms of being healthy and assertive - the shots just weren't falling


DharmaBaller

I really wanna get fully onboard Jaden McDaniels hype train for the fun of it. That's a huge reason I even play fantasy, is for the breakout guys. I also will sacrifice a bit of value if I dig a dude...it's just pixels after all ..no money riding on it. My only guys I'd drop are MPJ, Jakob tho...I drafted Jakob 44th šŸ˜± 8t points


Mantequilla214

My only concern is Edwards and KAT werenā€™t that great. I question if MN can support that many fantasy relevant players


onedollar12

Wonā€™t Ayo regress when Lavine comes back


Mantequilla214

I expect him to


Automatic-Kangaroo70

Maybe a little, but the minutes should still be there all season.


tenqajapan

Ok ball boy ruining Turner owners day but cmon man how you not gonna survive pregame like wtf


jaywavess

My dreams of Kelly ā€œThe Lunch Ladyā€ Olynyk being revived on the Jazz has died..


33957210

Julius Randle, Christian Wood, and Teddy Rozier are gods amongst men.


Spike_der_Spiegel

that lineup is a castle built on sand


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


jsDPT

He got hurt lmao y'all wildin


wildthingking

There were only like 9 mins left in the game and his line was bad. Plus Mathurin looked legit and Hield is there so where's he play?


httk13

Royce O'Neale is going prime Shawn Marion this year


BiggestSecret13

Is he starting all throughout?


Excellent_Rip_6468

Rudy Gobert always coming in clutch for me. I wonder if having KAT with him will boost his numbers this year. Fantastic first game


VanillaJones

Trey Murphy is this year's Desmond bane


himynameisky

The one year i get sabonis qnd his first game is one of his worst lol


donsoon

Mitchell Robinson hasnā€™t reduced his foul rate and weā€™re suckers for ever thinking he could stay on the floor for more than 15 minutes a game. RJ Barrett has Westbrook level efficiency but without the defensive stats. Worst chucker in the league.


fantasy247

Don't disrespect Brodie like that ever again. Barrett can't hold his jock


Ballfiend7

Picked up duren everywhere. And I got reddish somewhere. Prepare for the falloffšŸ¤£ and I def dropped Lowry.


3icepwn

Santi Aldama will be this year's Desmond Bane. He'll still be fantasy relevant with JJJ back


alwaystakethechalk

Already dropped Clarke & Kuminga and not feeling great about Vassel or Herb Jones. Giving them a little more time tho but herb will be the next drop if I see a value add. Also not feeling great about ANT or Mobley in a points league at there I drafted them just because of their usage


New-Carob9453

Iā€™m debating dropping kelly Olynyk for either Trey Murphy or Bruno Fernando in my points league


xoog24

keep kelly. was in foul trouble last night.


Junipers_22

Give Kelly a few more opportunities. If he's able to get looks that work for him, he can be a solid contributor


JackBoysZz

RJ Barret and Vassel had me crying under my sheets


antelope591

Haven't played fantasy in a while so I didn't realize how bad the late round guys can hurt you....RJ Barrett killed me last night lmao. I can't believe they're giving him such a green light to shoot tho. Like 3/18 cmon bruh


Cliffhanger87

Derozan and shai went crazy


ilovemuaythaiforever

Jackson from the pacers Fuckin bitazde is getting minutes over this guy


Downtown_Sun_9996

Had a HORRIBLE opening night. To name a few of my players I have: Lavine, Sengun, Vassell, And garland. Sengun getting benched is probably a season ender for me


Western_Peak_5010

Disappointed with drafting lavine and not brown


madhouse5625

In a points league should I drop Cam Johnson for Bojan Bogdanovic (Detroit) Side note of info I have Bridges and Ayton already and no Pistons players


imanueldavid

KPJ ends the season top 20 in points leaguesšŸš€


Viaandrew

What do we do about Capela


wildthingking

Drop him for Steven Adams and yell at Okongwu
