Clearly a game with guarding an animal in AD tonight. He's known for his foul troubles, this wasn't new. Relax yall yup AD shot like 18 FT's in the 3rd alone. Even the Grizz coach was fouling him 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also, it is good to see Grayson Allen is still trying to injure people. Those 3s are not falling. Gotta activate secondary skill right? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No ones gonna win their league with a $22 player being worth $14-$26. He could certainly still meet his expectations but being a difference maker or top player in the league seems highly unlikely. All depends on how you drafted the rest of your team. Watched him play and honestly doesn't look like he improved much over the summer. Looks exactly the same so maybe expect similar production to last year, or slightly better. If he does lower his fouls, his block value will likely decrease a little per minute but the extra minutes from not fouling could make up for that. I don't see him somehow getting tons of blocks in comparison to last year while not fouling at this point. Similar to mitch rob.

Similar to mitch rob. $20 is not expensive in a $200 auction, it's the equivalent of like a 5th rounder. JJJ will be fine . He was (trying) to guard AD last game, so it's understandable what happened. I still expect about 18 pts 7 rebs 1.7 blocks 1.2 steals and 1.5 3s with good percentages, that is a pretty rare and valuable line. I also believe he will have a bigger 2nd half than 1st, as memphis will be less competitive by then and he will have more free reign. He's sort of like Myles Turner, probably won't massively breakout like a lot of people expected yet, but he will have value for his stocks and not hurting you, and still has explosion game upside when things go the right way. Actually, in terms of fantasy lines, he is Myles Turner, just with more steals and less blocks, and the potential to get more pts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For sure, my response was to someone saying he will be a league winning difference maker down the stretch. I think he went exactly where he was supposed to go (5th roundish low $20s), just dont see him being a $30+ player end of season or being a steal. Certainly not a bust, not a breakout, just kind of doing what he was doing before, which is still very valuable. KAT and AD on the other hand, I'm very afraid of right now as I have almost no stock in either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

brosephd 1,349 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 anthony randolph or jonathan isaac feel. worlds of potential, just needs to put it all together and stay out of foul trouble. if not this year then next few years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mangchi 1 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Playing just 26 minutes (mainly due to fouls right?), he's averaging 14.8 points, 1 three, 6.5 rbos, 0.8 steals and 1.3 blocks. He's only shooting 42.6% right now but shot over 50% last year so by end of season it is reasonable to believe that his FG should be around 50%. But even without projecting higher FG% and just based on current season's small sample, based on 32 minutes a game, he could be averaging 18.2 points, 1.2 3/m, 8 rbs, 1 steal, 1.6 blocks. Those numbers look someone like Shawn Marion potential type of a player if you know what I mean 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DoctorLove 312 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Just flipped my Caris for JJJ, but now I'm a little concerned after reading some of these comments. Always check The Forum first. I think JJJ gets it figured out. Season still young, learning how to play with Ja, and there's a new coach/system in town. Still very early in the season so I'm hoping this foul issue gets figured out. The rest will fall into place after than. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JJJ has higher upside and probably top 30 value if he can stay out of foul trouble. A bad matchup against AD, but hopefully he can pick it up going forward. I expect big things from him this year.

nir 230 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 I would not say a steal but I rather JJJ for the upside. That depends on him controlling fouls. And so far I don’t see any improvement in that field . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
