ugr23 8 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 It seems like Budenholzer won't give 30+ minutes in near future. It's just frustrating. Why would someone pick Plumlee over Collins? Just let him play. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hardyharhar 242 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Shout out to the ref who saved him from getting a turnover in the last seconds of the game. Pretty sure he told Collins to get out of the paint because you're going to get a 3 in the key. Also, Hawks gave up 19 offensive rebounds, but they didn't think to put their best rebounder in the game. Lol ok Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ι cannot believe that in a fully active league not even one team gives a permanent spot to the 82nd ranked player that has top50 upside. There should be at least one taking the gamble. You have to be 8 or less teams and still for me he has a spot somewhere. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hardyharhar 242 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I can't believe he might have made me lose fg% this week. 9/23. He's balling though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm in a points league. Ive held all season but he's mostly just been a waste of a roster spot. The most hes had in any week is 115 fpts. If 115 is your season high thru 11 weeks, that is not good. Like at all. He's been the most frustrating to own for sure besides Nurk/Kanter. The worst thing with Collins was, he finally gets the starting job, immediately picks up a minor 2 week injury, then never gets his job back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Most posters are in category-based leagues so his FG% boost (without the FT% hit) is his best asset, along with the upside he possesses. I know it wasn't you that made the statement but for future purposes, if someone is going to make a bold statement they should at least provide their league settings and/or punt categories in the post. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Especially Avg Rankings in a H2H league I find. Preseason ranks, the predictions made by "experts" are absolutely meaningless. But AVG, per game league specific rankings are one of the best and most meaningful ways to determine quality in a H2H. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

John Collins provides value in the vast majority of leagues. Your league must either have weird settings or novice fantasy basketball players. You're trying to make him seem like he's not that special when in actuality it's very rare for a rookie to post top 100 8- or 9-cat value, as a 19th overall pick, in limited minutes nonetheless. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rameshdataya 139 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 sounds like you're in a 8 team league. good for you. most of us are in 12-14-20+ team leagues though, so we don't quite share your views on collins. for us, he's not just rosterable but also worthy of starting most of the time. his high fg% and the stocks he brings helps us big-time. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He is 87 ranked in last 30 days on yahoo 9cat - if he was making a few more of his FT he'd probably move up quite a few spots. I'd rather he be on my team - but if I could stream him in and out, I would - not an option in my 12 team league.
