Are you holding or trying to “sell high” if you’ve got these players rostered?
Hmm Durant will definitly fall few places lower, but i think he will stay quite high, then Ronny Turiaf who i own will have lower averages, but i think blocks will stay high so i won’t be selling high, because it’s very hard to get somebody else with blocks.
Robinson will fall quite a bit i think with addition of Hughes.
Turiaf.
With Biedrins coming back, Turiaf’s likely to fall back to his low points, low boards, healthy blocks usefulness.
I’m hoping that Larry’s terrible fg% keeps Robinson as the best choice for sixth man.
If all of those guys see a serious drop, I’m screwed.
holding leandrinho, fg% will go down, but everything else will go up with minutes. thank god terry porter is out and we’re not discussing louis amundson vs. robin lopez.
stephen jackson will eventually go on a 10 game streak of 32% fg’s, so he’s my vote.
I agree, Jackson can’t keep up the FG% forever, I traded him for Lee in week 2. Still think I ended up on the better end of the deal…
Turiaf’s value will plummet, definitely sell high if you still can.
Jackson will lose PT to Randolph down the stretch so I’d sell high.
Nate should be fine, but go back to his reserve numbers early in the season, sell high.
I love Thomas the rest of the way, he’s one guy I’m looking to trade for.
Barbosa and Charlie V are definitely holds with their team’s injuries, and you’d be a fool to trade Roy or Durant now.
turiaf the runaway winner here, so i guess i’ll be changing this one sooner than later…
If anyone in the league deserves a starting role, it’s Turiaf. I don’t know how many blocks per 48 minutes he gets but it has to be top 3 in the league. GS is spoiled with Jackson, Azubuike, Maggette, Randolph, Wright, and Turiaf. They should have moved Buike or Maggette for draft picks.
Sorry Buser, this was an easy poll. Biendrins is coming back and will take the starting role.
yeah in retrospect i suppose this was a no-brainer. everyone should feel free to suggest poll topics
This is sort of an obvious topic, but how about “Who do you most expect to shut it down the rest of the season?”
It’ll be a nice tie-in with your next article.
Just letting you know, I think it’ll be B-diddy.
that is the plan
I voted for Tyrus, because I didn’t really consider Turiaf to be anything more than a deep league, 1 cat plug-in. Tyrus is a guy most people expected to perform like he has been recently. But man, he has been brutal to owners most of this year. There’s no way he continues to see the kind of minutes he’s had recently though.
You must have dropped Tyrus or been annoyed at him at the beginning of the year. I think he will see the minutes he’s been getting. Who will take his place, Brad Miller? He obviously has talent, and given the minutes he will continue to put up lines as he has these past couple of weeks. I think he’ll be one of those guys this season who will put up an amazing second-half. We’ll see what happens, but Tyrus has everything he needs to shine.
