Johnnyapplebot 1,544 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Melo might have finally changed for the better (because he had no choice) but he’s still going to demand he get his touches aka dribble dribble dribble pull up or pass. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Johnnyapplebot 1,544 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 To clarify I am not saying Roco will be bad but I don’t expect him to play 30 mins a night (I could be wrong) which means no top 30-40 production more like top 60-70 in my opinion. Too many options it was bad enough he woulda been the last option scoring wise but with so many people playing similar positions he won’t be getting heavy minutes to produce those stocks he did with Houston. I expect Minnesota production but even a little worse than that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
colepenhagen 3,565 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 like what he offers but its tough to take him over a volume guy like lavine, middelton, ingram, also will be 30 so decline in the stocks would kill his value. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

His value is 3s steals blocks. Less minutes less of those because he doesn’t score he doesn’t assists and his rebounds for his position is average Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FantasyBallFan 473 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Why would Portland give up the 16th pick in this years draft + a 2021 FRP and not play him 30 minutes? He can literally play in any of the front court positions and as long as Whiteside is gone I see a floor of 30 minutes. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fabrar 2,800 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Roco is getting 30+ minutes, anyone who thinks otherwise is heavily misguided. For a long time now, Portland's biggest weakness has been a truly great 3 and D guy...and guess what Roco is? A great 3 and D guy! He plugs up some the Blazers' weak perimeter defense, and can bomb 3s to his heart's content. There's zero chance that scrubs like Hood, Derrick Jones and Melo get more play time than him. 7 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DLove 54 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Roco and DJJ slotted for the starting forward spots. So it looks like Roco will start at the 4 and backed up by Zach (whenever he is healthy). This should give roco enough mins to be productive as usual. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

apatas 439 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 (edited) Covington is very valuable in middle rounds if you started with players who have more assists/rebounds, but less stocks. But if you start for example: Anthony Davis (1st round), John Collins (2nd), Chris Paul (3rd), then you don't need any stocks too much and you can draft more shooters in middle rounds and also find additional assists.

colepenhagen 3,565 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 (edited) people should try punt reb with roco, turner, siakam, markan, jjj, brolo ect all center eligible. tough not to also punt fg% but possible. really hammer threes and blks from ur bigs and got ur front 3/4 picks for volume with guards/wings Edited December 8, 2020 by colepenhagen Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Crazycanto 1,261 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 I want to say I will hesitate to draft the Lord too early and DJJ in the last few rounds might be a better bang for your buck. But every time the Lord smites me and ends up putting up top 40 value. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattshhh 215 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 The thing about lowkey fantasy gods like Roco is they're much more valuable as waiver snags who compliment your offensive stars than as guys you draft to BE one of your stars.. most of my big fantasy disappointments have been early round role players with extraordinary per-36's whose value has little to do with scoring, because it's easier to find partial versions of these players late in drafts than the primary ball-handling types available at the same time - players around whom teams are built. Are you more likely to find someone reliable who puts up 70% of Roco's numbers late in a draft (let's say OG Anunoby) or someone who puts up 70% of Malcolm Brogdon's (Derrick White or Dragic)? My answer would be Roco because Anunoby is easily the safest situation among those three, and there are lots of similar guys available past 100, even some after the draft ends. Can't say the same thing about playmakers with a concrete path to minutes. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hornrimmed_rambis 2,087 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 RoCo is absolutely in a great situation this season. I love the FC eligibility now. Elite in 3pm, Steals, Blocks. There are very few players like him. Got him at #58 in my very competitive H2H league, and thrilled to get him. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IDatDude 1,473 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I chose somebody else over Lord Cov in the 5th rd in my first draft of the season...it hurts my soul, and I honestly was hoping someone else just took one of them before so I didn’t have to make that decision. He’s going to smite me with a 16/8/2/4/2 (3-3PM) type line in the first few games...i just know it 😢 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hornrimmed_rambis 2,087 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 For anyone thinking he won't get 30 minutes, he has received 25 and 27+ minutes in 2 PRESEASON games so far, pretty much leading the team. He is a Rock. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PUNTSQUAD 173 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Keep seeing him available in the 6th round (12 team) in Yahoo mocks. He hasn't been on my boards because I didn't expect to see him there. I've never drafted RoCo but it feels like I'm always trying to trade for him at some point in the season lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
