I think people are forgetting that he is by far the best player on this roster. New Orleans is also running at a crazy pace this year. Jrue likes playing off ball. Lonzo makes his teammates better, Jrue will still get his assists through ball movement where Lonzo gets the "hockey assist". Just because he doesnt have a big name, ppl will sleep on Jrue.

Now I don't think he'll be that good and we both agree pre season doesn't matter all that much but I'd say he had a perfectly fine pre season for a team that's supposed to be very fantasy friendly.

Dray will eat, regardless. He has enough shooters around him to exceed his ADP. I think dray will make up for those Durant missed assists and even increases them because hes a great passer, playmaker and he will be in better shape. Holiday isn't Draymond, but I was using it as an example. I see dray increasing his asts this year regardless of the increase in difficulty. This makes no sense. So Dray has enough shooters to exceed his ADP and will average more assists despite increased difficulty? He has Curry, DLo, and....That is it. And you are not worried about his assists, but you see them increasing with less talent? Meanwhile, Jrue's value as the #1 guy on the team is going down, and he will average 3 assists less despite having more scorers than they did last year all because of Lonzo Ball? Wow, ok.

Dray is a better playmaker in general than holiday. I said him being in shape and also having a reason to try in season will lead to the upward trend, even offsetting the Durant-less assists. Higher usage = higher everything except %s and TO. Edited October 21, 2019 by johnval1362 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If he plays 35 mins a game he will avg high 20s for sure. With the new injury, I dont expect those minutes anymore. Any game he plays 35 min I expect 30 pts out of him. I also said lebron would avg high 50s fg% when cousins was healthy. That changes now too without floor spacing and McGee vs. Cousins.

No offense to coach K, but he did a horrible job coaching zion. Anyone shooting 70% from the floor needs to be shooting higher volume to bring that number down, and points up. Ignore numbers, even though the numbers are phenomenal, and watch how zion played in the preseason and see how improved his handle was on the ball and what an off season of being mentally trained by the best basketball trainers in the world. If zion shot more in college to bring that fg% down, he would have avg over 30 easily. He didn't look like the same player he was in college, not even close. You act like players can't improve over the off season, and great offense is always unstoppable no matter what league. Doncic did it, trae did it, now zion will do it even better (if the minutes are there after his injury). You seem to be forgetting that he had the highest fg% in college history and that's not even from a C. Edited October 21, 2019 by johnval1362 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Feel confident with your pick. Lonzo is getting overrated in this thread right now, and people are freaking out over pre season. Just check his game log last year: https://www.espn.com/nba/player/gamelog/_/id/3995/jrue-holiday He's also a great passer: Oh I know, he was on the team that gave me the works last season. That's why I am confused at the talks about him possibly decreasing. I wanted a scoring pg for my team and historically, from what I can tell, he did. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

VaTerp 192 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 This roster sets up really nicely for Jrue this year especially with the pace NOLA will play at. He gives you elite stocks, very good FG%m pts, and assist without really hurting you anywhere. I was going to keep him in a 14 team 2 player keeper but decided to go a different direction. Absolutely love him in redraft this year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
