been happening and let’s listen to Michael Bolton thanks Josh it’s Michael Bolton here and it’s time for another episode of the locked on Fantasy Basketball podcast let’s get to it let’s get to it INE

newsletter for your favorite team over there you can uh check that out and uh get cracking I guess all right we’re uh we’re talking about uh wave wire the fantasy basketball wave wire is exactly where we’re at here and just the interesting things that uh you know that we might need to pay attention to and um the guys that have been added and moved on from and how correct these decisions are and sometimes it’s it is interesting to look at these sort of things and see how Wild some of the decisions that get made and how bullish we can be on guys and how skeptical we can be and how quickly our opinions can change on that sort of stuff and there’s one of those names in particular that we’re going to talk about in the show which is going to be really intriguing to to see people’s thoughts on that let’s um let’s just take a look though now at the most added players and we use those couple of different um qualifiers there we used the basball monster roster numbers Yahoo and fan tracks I use a 48 hour period on baskball Monster and unbelievably the most added player there is Spencer didy and I know his last couple of games have been good and I there’s a large portion of this is that the Mavericks have got the Saturday Sunday back toback and Luca I don’t actually know if Luca has been ruled in for the game on Sunday that’s we have a look is he playing in that game on Sunday uh Al donic let’s have a look we don’t have any word on that yet whether he’s available for the game on Sunday yet so dinwoody who’s been outside of shooting 8% in one of those games he’s been really putting up good numbers and I don’t trust that at all for a second but he’s been solid so that’s why he’s been at it the second guy that’s been out of there is V MIT who has been fantastic with well actually that’s that’s that’s maybe oversetting MIT has been very good right with lamelo bone with Trey man out for similar time frames and I do very much worry that man might be done because it’s a back problem there doesn’t seem to be any sort of solution here and they signed Isaiah Wong as a two-way point guard now to me that doesn’t mean that there’s any problem with L mallow longterm it’s a car strain for L yeah it’s a couple of weeks but that doesn’t suggest to me that’s a longterm thing Trey man’s unresolved back problem suggests to me that that is a long-term thing so I don’t think is Wong really impacts mids all that much or he just like Insurance cuz you got to have another point guard and the Hornets in previous um iterations of them would go into the season with like one point guard and like then they go hey we’re 10 games in maybe we need is Smith so they’re trying to be a little bit proactive there which I think is a good thing so anyway vs MIT has been fantastic is a as a replacement assist guy he scoring and shooting was in was better in the last game and I believe and I said this the other day when the first news of ball being out yeah surfaced that I said I’m I’m grabbing mtit everywhere let me double check actually cuz I did grab him in nearly every League that I’m in that’s not true exactly I grabbed him in a lot of leagues that I was in maybe four I think four or five um and I’m pretty happy with that result at this point um and I’ll just be rolling with him yeah I’ve got him in four leagues and missed him in two there you go and one of them one of them actually hasn’t been um grabbed yet interesting interesting all right so we’ll uh yeah I might have go make a move on that one we’ll see anyway mittit is a guy that I think should be rosted he played 33 minutes or so I think he’s the guy that they need out there and that is a must roster especially in all category leagues points these a little bit more riffy on Yahoo the most added player is Eve Mei again I’m not going to double up because I believe diny and meich were the like second and third most added players but no point me doubling that up Eve Mei has been playing pretty well at the moment I still have some overall worries with some of his stat set stuff because he like he barely blocked shots for like the first four weeks of the season and the last couple of games he’s been he’s been strong is going to get complicated when herb returns and eventually when Zion returns but like there’s a a revolving door on that team with players in or out so I don’t mind grabbing uh Eve Mei and seeing where it goes again wasn’t good was not really a 12 team must is putting up 12 team numbers now and we’ll see where it goes the other guy that’s been added a lot on yaho is kavus cwell Pope he’s had some really hot games and with Gary Harris out it’s easy to make that correlation well Harris is out so kcp is doing a lot and it’s not necessarily the case it’s just that shots are going in and that’s great but they hadn’t gone in like ever in any other game outside of the last two now we know what kyp can do he can be a steals Guy and a threes guy and at the moment the shots are going in he’s getting two three extra minutes and that’s useful so I don’t mind that but we have to understand the limitations of what kcp brings on fan trxs which uses a 7-Day roster reporting um waiver reporting time which I I I don’t know why I’m guessing that that’s you know I I praise a lot of what fan TRX does as a fantasy site but there are things that they do wrong and this is bad like to me this is 7-Day reporting period is like you just carried over from football and haven’t done anything about it because it makes no sense like who cares that Alfred Pon is the most added player doesn’t matter he’s not any he shouldn’t be anymore he’s a resered point guard who probably has a chance of falling out of the rotation at some point it doesn’t matter so the that one that’s frustrating you’ll see it even more when we talk about the um most Dro players on fan tracks but it is you I think part of the use of looking at that right is saying wow remember that time when we were all going and grabbing Alfred pton because it was a thing and the other guy that is the most added player is the pencil Harrison Barnes Bary yeah cuz he had a nice little string of games and we know that barns does this you’ll put two or three games together where every shot goes in he gets a couple of extra extra opportunities to shoot and it’s great and then we just don’t care as we move forward and that pattern is once again repeating itself the most dropped players on baskball Monster Isaiah Stewart number one yep fine he was grabbed in a lot of spots people thought that there was a minute share with Duran and honestly there really is cuz Jaylen Duran by the way uh terrible I had a lot of concerns about Duran heading into this season but obviously evidently nowhere near enough I can be like down on someone the way that I was with Duran and still be incredibly wrong because I thought that maybe he’s like 6ish 70ish sort of a guy and I worried about what Isaiah Stewart would do and how that would cap his upside I worried about maybe his free throws wouldn’t sustain I worried about his lack of blocks which actually hasn’t been a problem he just sucks his defense is absolutely terrible and big staf’s not having any of it but Stewart’s also not super good he’s a solid enough backup center and he’s not a must rosted 12 Team league player Alfred Payton’s also been dropped which of course he should be this is what I wanted to talk about and that’s Jared McCain has been dropped on Yahoo and McCain moved to the bench last game with Kelly UB starting ahead of him and one of the concerns that I’ve voiced many times about that Maxi and McCain back or pairing is they’re both small and they both are terrible Defenders and that has some real concerns long term and with Paul George back McCain McCain’s ability to get usage is not as important on that team and what he was really doing Jared was playing massive minutes he was shooting incredibly well and he was just taking a ton of shots and not much else going on there it’s the the non-robust fantasy game that requires a million minutes and shots to put up value last game he didn’t get those shots he didn’t get those minutes and his fantasy value fell off a cliff now personally do I even have McCain I don’t even know if I’ve got him on a team I think I’ve got him maybe on one team I’m going to hold cuz you know if there’s one thing you know that I don’t believe in it’s kellu so I don’t know that that’s going to hold as a starting group but I also know that a McCain Maxi backt is a gigantic and go look at the data on this you can look at the lineup stuff like it’s terrible the defense on that group is terrible cuz they’re too small and they can’t defend and McCain needs the value of having the ball in his hands and if Paul George is there and Max is there and then eventually I guess at some point J and B play he like what’s he going to do so it’s it’s a my story I love Jared McCain good Blog funny blog triggers so many people that’s that’s actually funny too the way that people get so upset about him painting his nails I find that funny but McCain’s ability as a fantasy basketball player you’ve got to you’ve got to question it somewhat and I will hold and see what happens in the next couple of games but I don’t know that that’s a long-term thing also people have bailed on B kulab which again he’s been terrible the shots aren’t going in at all and that’s one of the one of the clear clear things that we talk about it’s like is what man is doing sustainable and people will often look and go well yeah like he’s averaging like 18 and seven why wouldn’t that be sustainable but that’s not what it’s about shout out to Nicola vvi it’s about how are you getting the scoring does any of that make sense cuz Billow was going 90% at the rim and like 59% from the field and you go okay this is he actually has he improved this much and the odds would have suggested no and the results now suggest he absolutely not like he’s back to being a pow shooter who’s getting some defensive stats at times and and I think if you’re in a shallow format shallow like 8 10 I don’t think that you need to hold on to Bal necessarily the minutes are still really encouraging so that’s strong but usage is down efficiency is down I would still hold in majority of leagues in in 12 team as I would hold but we’re at that spot where everything the bow was doing was based it was like House of cardish much like McCain and it sort of collapsed and that happens on fan tracks the most dropped players Grant Williams who’s been out for the season for a week so sure move on from him and Collins which was a Wy replacement a week ago that is why again that 7-Day reporting period just isn’t anything that’s actually useful from a real transaction perspective fan tracks but it’s good for us to be able to look at it and just see how things how quickly things can change but also how long ago things are that we were so interested in or maybe excited about is the wrong word but it shows you the the length and breadth of a fantasy basketball season I think we’re going to come back we’re and talk about some must roster guys some droppable players as well but before we do that today’s episode is brought to you by I better help it is December that is holiday season whatever holiday it is that

roster players again when we talk about things like um like must rosters and and the the appeal of these players it’s I’m not talking about is this guy going to be great in February like that’s that’s stuff’s really hard to to know at this point cuz you as we just detailed s days is a bloody long time in the NBA and in fantasy basketball so we’re looking at guys that I think just if they’re on your wave away you grab them now and we just figure it out later on and that’s Malik monk who is playing a million minutes in Sacramento with DeMar rosen out I maintain that Malik Monk Is at worst their fourth best player at worst I think he’s a better player than Keegan Murray personally but I think at worst this was an interesting thing as well at the time of that draft with Keegan marur I was very adamant that Keegan shouldn’t go at would have pick for before it was and I think they should have taken Jaden Ivy and of course that looked like a horrible take at at that point right that because Keegan has been much better than Ivy during that time frame and it looked terrible when I said I can’t believe the kings are going to do this why they’re doing this is an older player who I’m just not really sure where it makes sense on this squad and I know they need a Ford but like you you’re the Kings you don’t need need to desperately reach for a a fit type of a play and of course they made the playoffs and had that really great season the next two seasons one and a half season so far have not been particularly good for the Kings and right now as we speak and this is where draft stuff is really interesting jayen Ivy is the same age right now the Keegan Murray was as a rookie and this is year three for Ivy and if you look at like the EPM on both of these players Ivy is actually ahead of where Keegan Murray was as a rookie at the same sort of Point like he’s ahead so yeah like the first two years Monty Williams sabotaging Jaden ivy for the second year is ridiculous I’m not saying iy’s been awesome but that is where that age thing comes like it’s it’s really massive because again like this is the same age that Keegan Murray was as a rookie and Jaden I is here now it is a and Ivy wasn’t even a super young player he was a sophomore that is and at time plenty of times this stuff doesn’t work out but you get this guys his old players his NBA ready that just is not always the case and yeah I don’t know I I just I just found that information I’m not saying that I was correct to say Ivy over Murray because Murray’s clearly been better so far and the size profile that Keegan has is still really good but it is like just a different way of looking at it that now we are into year three and that’s that’s where we’re at with that sort of stuff anyway Goa badad while he is starting next to wend Ala Jr yeah he’s a guy that we roster I I don’t really have full faith in this long term of course Paulo is going to return and go could easily play zero minutes that’s what Jamal Mosley did last season but for now the value is there I think that Mike Conley should be rosted now we have seen the Wolves be like it’s the the Julius Randle experiment not going particularly well he is one of the most annoying players in the NBA to watch and evidently one of the most annoying players in the NBA to play with and the wolves are floundering and they’ve tried different things and they tried to make Dante d venzo a point guarden in the end they said I know you’re a million years old Mike but we need 32 minutes and that’s the only way we’re going to get this thing turned around and Conley is playing those minutes and until something changes there then we just roster him easy stuff I think I am putting Shaden sharp on this list because he has been dropped and his roster percentage is not high but overall I don’t love Shaden sharp as a fantasy Prospect I don’t there are so many holes in his game he needs 35 minutes probably 27 usage other usage guys to not be there and to be running as a pseudo point guard which makes your team horrendous by the way cuz he’s not a point guard but that is what he needs to be a very good fantasy player unfortunately those things don’t exist on this squad air and Grant are going to play up ahead of him and they handle the ball Simon and Scoot are going to be doing that as well Kamar is next to him so at the moment Shop’s sort of floundering now I say all this to say yeah I would make sure that he’s rosted for now but my opinion might change on this really quickly it could change in a different direction cuz sharp might start to develop super efficiency or become a defensive guy or you start to run pick and rolls a lot better I don’t think he will but he could but in a week’s time i’ be like yep yep absolutely like I’m in on sharper in a week’s time i’ be like no it’s just the same stuff it’s it’s not changing you move on like this is not interesting but for now I think we grab him I also think the bdr Nick Richards needs to be rosted Nick Richards is back before Mark Williams and GTA 6 he came off the bench behind Madia I think that Richards will move in to that starting lineup oh actually you know what I actually think that Richard’s coming off the bench means that Mark Williams is coming back very soon and they want Richard to just play that Reserve role uh or they could just switch him into the starting group for the next game that’s possible too means we can drop de uh we can drop Tian s and we look at Richards as a guy to roster for now again in 3 weeks time if Williams actually is returning and he’s not actually a ghost if if Mark Williams is back Richard will probably probably be a 21 minute guy which won’t be enough but we’re not there yet so that’s okay we uh deal with that later on and these are all players that are droppable now what do I mean by that I think you know what I mean by that it just means that if those players are on your roster these guys are on your roster and you’re looking to say hm should I look at Vasa MIT could could he be a player that I look to grab could I look to grab Mike Conley or Malik monk huh but my last roster spot is taken up by Bobby poris well my thing would be yeah what are we doing move on poris is at at the moment I was say an injury replacement but even when jannis missed games poris didn’t start anyway so he’s like a backup center who’s doing nothing now he is going to have a run I’m very confident of this and it makes me always scared to consider Bobby poris a drop because he’ll have a run where he has 20 and N someone gets hurt he plays 27 minutes a night he shoots 50% from three and everyone hailes him as a savior but he is terrible on defense he’s he’s older than you think and a lot of the stuff has fallen off for poris I’d be more than happy more than happy to Jack him off get that gamage out of here I think it’s also sort of obvious that buddy hee is dropped now I will say this with the Golden State Warriors foreseeable future Legends Steve Kerr did come out and say yeah maybe we need to look into not playing 13 guys every night thank you Steve that would be great if you did that and that would mean that some of the guys that get minutes are going to see fewer minutes or not play at all I do not look at buddy H and go yeah this is the guy You’ got to prioritize I think he’s incredibly limited defensively like horrible defensively he doesn’t do anything apart from Shoot threes which has value for a team but how many teams have we seen get buddy out there and go yeah yeah maybe not guys Maybe not maybe we don’t want him out there how many times that happened Sacramento well so New Orleans Sacramento Indiana Philadelphia now going State at some point you know five out of five NBA teams can’t be wrong we’ll see I I think he’s drop off but I am a little cautious to see if they cut three guys from the rotation and he gets seven minutes and plays 28 then it is more interesting uh I also think Santio dama can be considered a drop now Adama just keeps getting things done but as a guy that played like 30 minutes a night last season and wasn’t M roster he’s getting stuff done in like 22 minutes a night and there’s a lot of it much like with the bill star from earlier that doesn’t feel real how’s that going to stick at that level and that’s sort of where I am with Santi so if he’s on my roster and he’s my worst player then I think that it’s not someone you go well my team’s so strong I’ve got to hold Al dmer under all circumstances if I’m in a four te League I probably would say that if I’m in a 12 team I don’t think I would Klay Thompson much like yeah buddy he there what is he doing or he’s currently not even playing he was currently not before that he wasn’t doing anything good and I that’s to me he’s obviously I say Obviously without knowing people’s in internal thought I would say people are holding on due to name recognition get that garbage out of here and in a very Warriors heavy portion of the show why are we still bothering with John kaminga I’ll say the same stuff about Kinga that I said from here actually just copy and paste it they might cut the rotation down but this man needs 30 minutes he needs to have 24 usage and like I have said all the time with kaminga and you can un you might you can say that it is bias and that is okay to me bias is just an opinion that you don’t like that’s that’s what I have found from people criticizing oh man you’re just biasing this guy no I just actually have an opinion and this is how I view him and I view that with kaminga a terrible Defender who doesn’t seem to know where he is when he’s playing basketball it’s like what are you doing what is that decision but incredible athlete who can’t defend and can’t shoot threes what are you actually doing like he played backup center in that game last and that actually might be his best position but St C hates the way that he plays so often he doesn’t generate assist steals blocks good percentages at all and he needs big minutes and big usage and none of that’s happening but after the Warriors lost do they just change things up I’m not convinced I’m not convinced that kaminga is good enough to be that player but he’s been a drop for weeks but people still have not done that maybe that will turn out to be correct I guess we will uh find out in due course we’re going to come back and talk about some more addable players droppable options or you know what injury Replacements that sort of stuff but today’s episode is brought to

and make every moment more with Fel an official Sports partner of the NFL and don’t forget to gamble responsibly let’s go through the um the rest of this uh waiver wire show Extravaganza we’ll talk about players at the moment that are hot guys that are in the top 100 over over the last week per game category leagues and whether it makes sense to be rostering them and number one there is Ty Jerome and milk has put up 3.3 steals per game over that time frame the shooting has started to cool off but no we do not need to Rost the tier own it’s a great story if you added him and you got 55% shooting from three and 3.3 steals a game fantastic but there is zero zero ability for that to hold and you know that basically the next game or the game after and Levert and Wade and these guys returning he’s not going to do this it’s it’s literally impossible it will not happen I can categorically guarantee this 99.999% I categorically guarantee it it will not happen none no chance not happening so yeah he’s been great not real Julian champany he is just continuing to put up numbers with guys out vasel low minutes load soan out when those two things change I don’t see how champany keeps it up but for now we keep rolling with him just getting little bits and pieces not really blowing us away but a top 60 rank he’s a top 60 rank Smart’s also been very good in the two games since he returned I’ve got some skepticism about spart spart no about smart doing this long term but he’s a guy with an established track record he’s putting up pretty strong numbers on a weird Grizzlies team that’s spreading out all their minutes those those numbers are great they’re on the back of some assists and steals which probably don’t hold but I don’t mind streaming him in Malcolm Brogden 66th they are unbelievably prioritizing Malcolm Brogden Kyle kma Cy kper all these players that have no future on the team I don’t understand I I know they probably want to win a game guess what it’s not working they went windless in all of November the wizards but while Brogden is playing and healthy and upright and on this team then we use him and they’re giving him those minutes over Bob Carrington over kesan George over any lick of common sense but Bron’s actually a better player yes he is that’s cool it’s done a lot for everything Brogden um is a is a solid option for now just a long that won’t work and how about now sit down if you’re not watching a video you haven’t you don’t know what’s coming up now maybe you do maybe you saw the you heard the voice you heard the excitement what about this man the 99th ranked player over the last week maybe everything I’ve said about this man has been wrong all the time maybe he is actually just the goat that’s hidden in wolves clothing maybe ton Horton Tucker is awesome he’s not but he’s 99th over the last week how I believe he’s shooting like 80% from the field um he is getting minutes for you know some reasons you wouldn’t want to give balis plain time or see what you got a little bit in dal and Terry actually I know what you got in D Terry it’s nothing so we’re good with that we can move on uh Julian Phillips let’s get a little bit of t h and Tucker in there so how’s it been um how’s it been happening for old mate THD how’s he been putting up this sort of production again it’s just been he’s been playing like 14 15 minutes night again it’s the small sample size one we um level of production that has got him here and you know what 86% from the field probably is all that’s all I need to say he’s averaging 16 points in 14 minutes 26 usage 86% shooting 89% from three um it’s just not going to hold it’s not real it’s fake it’s one of the fakest stat lines you’ll ever see he is eight of nine from three in his last three games so yeah like he’s a top 100 player so if you somehow you know tripped um tripped over knocked yourself out woke up accidentally hid an at on Taylor and Horton Tucker three games ago you got one of the best streams you’ll ever get but it’s complete fluke and it has no basis in reality the other one there that’s more based in reality is leaky Beasley now there is going to be a period here where Malik Beasley struggles the shots won’t go in but I tell you what and I I’d be and this is actually genuine Tim Hardway Jr suffered that really bad head injury I feel like he shot about 4% since he returned and and that’s that is hyperbolic but it’s also not and basically since Tim has come back he’s been just Dreadful and I would worry that there are like post concussion I don’t know that it has been a very like Tim I won’t say Tim Hardway was good before he got hurt because he wasn’t but these are Tim Hardway shooting percentages since he came back 10% 177% 25% 50% wow that’s a good one 40% 38% and 0% so yeah like Tim is really struggling and Beasley is playing unbelievably well and at the moment with Hardway playing like trash and Cade sat the back to back I think Kate’s going to be okay moving forward so I don’t think we worry too much there but Beasley’s got stream value longterm don’t really think it but you know what is longterm outside of just a glimpse into the mirror of the future which are nonsense words but maybe you find something in it what about guys that are injury replacement type guys Gerson yabas Jo embiid maybe returns at some point who knows Andre Drummond looked to have a serious injury I don’t know exactly what the injury was do like he stepped on someone’s foot and sprained his ankle but there were some fears I thought from some people about an Achilles yeah rewatching it I think it’s more high ankle sprain but that’s a six we type of scenario so yabas is a guy that can play the four he can play the five he play 30 minutes a night he’s okay as a let’s see what happens sort of a player I believe that Jaylen Wilson is the guy over Z Williams over Shake Milton over Keon Johnson over Jaylen Martin there’s two Mar on same Tyrese Martin as well um with Cam Thomas out it’s going to be shaky I think but Wilson is the guy that I grabbed and you so is that bias or is that just an opinion yeah six of one I guess um so Wilson is the player that I looked at with Cam Thomas out and someone I’m a little bit interested in grabbing and then we also stay in Brooklyn because Nick claxon has been sort of in and out with a back problem drron sharp is returning and Noah Clowney is out as well so trended Watford this is more for the deeper leagues not quite not quite the onyxes don’t worry will’ll get to you guys but trended watford’s at least on the 16s maybe 14 team short-term streams I think with Zack Edy out and ID is probably coming back this week I think Brandon Clark is doing a little bit more than J huff and J Huff is absolutely not a 12 team League player he’s not Brandon Clark has got a little bit of short-term value not super exciting but there’s something there while Edie is out I think that I I if K kman REM remains out I think Kean George is still going to be okay now last game it was valent Tunis but I do believe that valent Tunis match up and the next one even as well was because it was up against Brook Lopez and jannis in Milwaukee the next game for Washington is against Evan Moy and Jarett Allen talk about a terrible matchup so I think getting that size of valent chunis in there next to S will be something they look at in that one but the other games I think it might be Kea George over valent Tunis because they’ve been limiting what valent Tunis did playing him like 14 15 minutes A N which of course is not good enough also side not on valunas remember all of the Pelicans um front office spouting how good it is to have valent Tunis next to Zion because he’s a floor spacing Center uh yeah stretch five he’s down to 5% 3point attempt rate this season valunas they just said I’m not doing I’m not shooting threes anymore you can’t he’s not a good shooter he’s not a good shooter anyway um valent chunis got those minutes in the last game and he might get him in the next one but I do think that if kozman does remain out longer term that George will be the guy to look at though that is shaky and then I know I didn’t leave you guys out the double onic platinum diamond titanium leagues KJ Simpson he is back up vas MIT and Simpson’s not a bad player KJ Simpson a an older rookie second round pick from Colorado he was the best player on that team that had Tristan D Silva and Cody Williams who both went in the first round he’s a little bit undersized but he’s a good steals Guy good assist player he got his shots up and in deeper leagues KJ Simpson needs to be rostered yes they signed Isaiah Wong but Simpson’s a better player than Wong I believe and he he is just a name for those 20 teamers 30 teamers teamers I honestly might even look into 16 teamer to see whether KJ is there cuz I just think he’s going to be like not quite T.J McConnell but maybe T.J McConnell not quite but yeah different field go percentage type profile though lastly got six other names I want to talk about and one of them is in Golden St it’s Brandon psky because psky is obviously a very interesting player who we thought would’ be able to get something good out of at the of the season and then nothing happened he couldn’t hit a single shot the rebounds were down the minutes got dropped but last game he started he started over Hall Pass Legend Lindy Waters I third and played good minutes and with the Warriors again talking about the consolidation of a rotation if pods is a 30-minute player then yes I am in in 12 team leagues and the fact that he started and then that led to them having that discussion about squeezing the rotation down I wouldn’t mind going back and adding paj jimsky I understand it might not work but I think it’s worth wor looking at there are people who are grabbing Lonzo ball lonzo’s last game was Inc played 21 minutes which I did not think was going to happen and the game before that he put up really good defensive numbers but there is a an idea here around Lonzo that like yeah I’m going to hold him a weight and he’s going to ramp up and play 28 minutes by the end of the season I I this is again an opinion I don’t think that’ll happen it might maybe that they his knee just has been an absolute modern medical miracle which is possible as well and he’s ready to go and they fully bench Josh giddy or they trade LaVine or they trade giddy or Kobe white is hurt or dumu is done or whatever there’s a million things but there are a lot of players there and Lonzo I’ll I’ll be honest with you I think fully healthy Lonzo is the best out of everyone I mentioned the best player from giddy LaVine white dumu like I think healthy Lonzo is the best player there not even fantasy he’s the best real life player out of that group but I don’t know that he gets there and I don’t know the minutes get there and I think it might be a frustrating process to hold waiting for that but the minutes last game were a surprise to me so that’s interesting I think if you’re looking for scoring if and you don’t want to you know bury yourself in trying to to figure out what the hell Calin Johnson does Bryce sensor in Utah is getting minutes Cody Williams is back in the G league and there’s no real other threes on that team and sensore he’ll get his shots up he’s a solid enough rebounder sometimes he gets steals but as a scoring boost in deeper leagues Bry sensor someone to look at Josh greens also had a couple of strong games I don’t really trust Green in his offensive output but he is starting he will continue to start and there is no lamelo and there is no trayman and that does give an extra opportunity with mids next to him instead of lamelo balls a million per usage that does allow green to do a little bit more so he’s at least on my 14 team radar for now and at the moment in Miami Duncan Robinson is starting now I don’t know how long that lasted is it continue to start over Terry roier and I considered putting roier on the droppable list and I think that if I’m in a 10 team i’ be okay with that cuz I don’t think you can be a real strong top 100 player but I also don’t have fa that Robinson’s going to continue to start over rier but we know that if a 30-minute dunan Robinson exists and maybe it does that can be at least 12 team adjacent your 12 team pop your head in take your head out sort of style a little bit like that you know David Beckham meme you know come on be honest come on be honest that one like he just just pops his head in I think that’s sort of maybe where we’re at with robins and the last thing I want to talk about is doton connect who was a guy that we grabbed we wanted to see what happened he went to the bench he did nothing he moved back to the stum L he looks good again what I said earlier about Jared McCain applies here connect he’s shooting his three-point numbers are well above college his two-point numbers are about the same if not higher and his free throw numbers he was only I think 78% in college and he’s at like 90 now and he’s getting really good amount of shots as a starter and everything is going in but the worry that I have with connect which is fine to have him is that if the shots drop by two a game if the shots don’t go in if he becomes a 78 free throw guy again a 36 three-point player instead of 44 and 92 whatever his numbers are actually I probably should check that before I start just making um just making numbers up but if that stuff isn’t there and he doesn’t hold and the minutes go to 29 a game even as a starter as you know the force that is Cam reddish and ruy haimura take back over that’s where we have the concerns look at look his numbers he’s shooting 44% on three 89% from the line but to again to just be completely honest with this over the last six games he’s down to 80% from the line doton connect and that’s that’s about where he was in college now he’s hitting 49% of Threes And 58% on twos in that same time frame and that gives him 18 points a game but it’s one assist it’s half a steal it’s zero blocks it’s 1.5 free throw attempts if it’s not scoring there’s nothing it’s scoring and it’s threes and that is it and if instead of hitting like he’s hit four threes a game over his last six games connect if he’s hitting two a game 2.2 a game with 14 points that’s a waiver wire player he much like McCain his game is not robust he doesn’t have rebounds assists steals Blocks free throw volume he it doesn’t have even have a track record of good percentages but for now we Rost him just be very very cautious about it and that is a waiver wise show we are out of here I want you to go follow me on all the socials I want you to thumb it up and I want you to comment and double bang and do all that stuff here over on YouTube but remember Thanksgiving is over we head into December be be good to yourself be not be nice to yourself celebrate the good things and and know that there is somebody out there there’s somebody in the world who knows that you did something good we ignore the good I I ignore the good about myself all the time and I focus on the negatives and it’s bad for me right it’s might be 1% of things negative 99% good and but why did this guy say that why did he call me a beat a cuck soy boy I don’t even like soy focus on the good it’ll make you feel better guys we are done here thank you so much for listening everyone see you [Music]
