papocrain 56 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Is this guy worth a shot at the tail end of draft? I remember him producing in multiple cats last season (something like prime batum numbers), but way too inconsistent. Link to post Share on other sites
gooseball 62 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 I would take a last round flier on him. However, there are many guys to do so at that level. The kid has skills but still raw. I hope he shows his worth this season but it will require the team to cut some depth in the positions he plays. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Boogie Buckets 454 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 If Dinwiddie gets traded (to the Suns hopefully), I’d be running for LeVert. He’s one of my favourite players but the Nets just have a lot of depth at his position(s) 2 Link to post Share on other sites
hipriest69 840 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Oh last pick its not even a question. That means you're in a 10 team or noncompetitive league. I would go for him around pick 100, especially if I needed guard stats. He's gonna get big minutes (for the Nets that's about 28-30). He's one of the building blocks of this franchise. Would not be surprised to see him starting at SF. If he comes off the bench even better - he'll feast on second units. He'll possibly start at PG if D-lo gets hurt again, and will likely fill in backup minutes there anyway. His upside is still really high. Predicting 16 points / 4 reb / 4 ast / 1.5 stl / 1.5 threes That's probably good for close to top 60-75 value. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Tekno Team 2000 1,621 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Dear Nets Front Office - Please be the one to trade for Jimmy Butler and include Caris LeVert in the deal so he can get the minutes he deserves and blow up on the Wolves!

chaiway 416 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Interesting... Levert may be better off in Brooklyn w/o a trade, or even w Jimmy there if Dlo is moved (contract year). In Min he will be the 4th option behind KAT, Wig, Teague 2 Link to post Share on other sites

skyjogger13 115 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Out of Danilo/Cedi/Lamb/Levert for last SF spot..who's the better add? I am leaning on Osman but Levert and Roto blurb makes me think twice about it.. Link to post Share on other sites

I am leaning on Osman but Levert and Roto blurb makes me think twice about it.. Levert. I'm biased but objectively as possible I'd say we've seen Lamb's ceiling for stretches of last year, and although it's good, it's not THAT good. Gallo I would never roster and if you pick him up you'll end up dropping him in a few days/weeks when he gets hurt. Osman is speculative and his ceiling would be Levert's floor imo. Levert is going to make the jump this year, MIP is possible, all star team is possible. His ceiling this year is 18-20 ppg and stuffing the stat sheet on a nightly basis. 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites
chaiway 416 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 (edited) Averaged essentially 12/4/4 w 1.2 3s and steals in 26 min last year but the issue was efficiency - 43.5/71 (45/76 over last 2 months). If those go up alongside playing time then 15/5/5 w 1.5 3s/steals in 28-30 min should be within reach. What makes me salivate is what he did against Miami on 3/31 - 34min 19/12/8/2/1... It's his 3rd year, just turned 24, getting some serious hype from teammates and coaches. Lastly, he's 6'7" and can play 1-3 so lots of options for playing time. I do hope he gets to play w Jarrett Allen more but Ed Davis should help as well Edited September 27, 2018 by chaiway 1 Link to post Share on other sites

skyjogger13 115 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Caris LeVert has been drawing plenty of praise at training camp from Nets players and coaches. According to veteran Jared Dudley, LeVert has been "scoring at will." Dudley added: "I haven’t seen anyone guard him in here in the last couple of weeks." LeVert will need to improve his offensive efficiency to make a leap this season, but he's spent the offseason working on his shot. The Brooklyn backcourt is crowded, and his injury history is worrisome, but LeVert is still an intriguing late-round pick in standard leagues due to his undeniable upside. Ok..this is one too many praise..new prediction: 29mins 1.7 3s 18 5 5 1.5 0.5 Hype train is so strong w this one MUST DRAFT/ADD from waiver Link to post Share on other sites
fabrar 2,815 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 In my last round I had a pick between Levert and RHJ and I went RHJ...hope I didn't make a mistake lol cause the Levert hype train is lookin gravy Link to post Share on other sites

Boogie Buckets 454 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 The hope is that his 3pt shot is great because that his best chance of getting a starting lineup spot. Crabbe’s long range shooting is useful for BKN but LeVert is better in every other possible way 1 Link to post Share on other sites
