m1dday 308 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Picked him up after putting Griffin on my IR, buying into the hype! Hoping for a Donovan Mitchell kinda pickup 😂 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nishinga 28 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Kupchak said he will play 15-22 minutes a night, so I don't truly understand the hype. He seems like he can be useful for 12 team league if he were to play 26+ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He seems like he can be useful for 12 team league if he were to play 26+ I agree he might 15-22 minutes initially, but he should earn more minutes and build to 26+ minutes as the season progresses. If wait until he gets a consistent 26+ minutes and then expect to pick him up, at that point he will be long gone in competitive 12 teamers. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
claptondecheeks 1,028 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Picked him up off waivers last night. Now I'm on the Herro and PJ hype trains. Nice! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Monkeyking69 287 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I dropped MPJ for him as my last roster spot for the bench, after last night with Howard playing I decided to drop him for Bobby Portis just to see how he pans out ... especially if ROBINSON and GIBSON are expected to be missing tonight's game. However, when i picked him up I didn't realize all my roster was playing tonight, so PORTIS is on the bench. I probably should sit PJ out of this one and let PORTIS take my last roster spot. From what I read NAW was forceful with his shots last night? I wonder if PJ will have the jitters as his first game tonight too. Ya'll think PORTIS is the safer option to play? ROSTER LIsted below.

If roto, I wouldn't play either the first game. If H2H, I'd throw Portis in there if Mitch Rob sits. Fizdale's rotations are trash, so if Mitch Rob plays and you gotta play someone, throw in PJ and hope for the best. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don't think I'd be keeping Portis long.. although i do trust him over PJ at this point since I had him last year. Looks a sprained right ankle for mitch, and a calf soreness for gibson. lets hope for the best -.- Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DoctorLove 312 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Could be wrong, but I think Kupchak's actual quote was something like, "if you are in the rotation, you are going to get at least 15-22 minutes" not that PJ Washington specifically will be limited to 15-22 minutes. He could ball out and get 25-30 on that Hornets squad. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KB24MVP 188 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I picked him up and therefore dropped Powell, since he didn’t do anything special yesterday and it seems that VanVleet will be the guy next to Lowry. Let’s see what this guy can do... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dfstout 2,182 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 "We had Miles playing a lot of ‘four’ this summer," Borrego said. "He’s playing a little more ‘three’ now. So it affects him a little more on the offensive end. Defensively, not so much. But defensively some spots when we are in the halfcourt. That’s probably the biggest area that it’s different for Miles. But he’ll figure it out." This quote implies that PJ Washington will see a good amount of time at the four, but Bridges spending more time at the three may affect his efficiency initially. BINGO 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BINGO Yup I'd expect him to continue have his rust spots along the way like NAW did. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

claptondecheeks 1,028 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 (edited) So at bare minimum, he's gonna put up the numbers that Zion was supposed to, right? Waiver wire pick up of the year. Let's go!!! Edited October 23, 2019 by claptondecheeks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
claptondecheeks 1,028 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 On a serious note, can someone compare him to one or two vets? I didn't watch him in college or preseason. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He's probably a better passer than those 2 as well, maybe not as good a shot blocker as jerami. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I drafted Jerami then snagged PJ from waivers and now I'm not sure which to keep - Jerami has experience but PJ has opportunity. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
