80version 782 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 3 hours ago, AstroWorld said: Bledsoe just continues to slide in rank in season long ranks. Was at 175 season long and doesn’t even show up on the 7/15/30 day tracking. Meanwhile Vanderbilt has performed well enough these last 2 weeks and his stocks are valuable to me. Hoping he plays better with KAT back. Yes I’m concerned I’m losing out on Bledsoe’s assists 3s and scoring which I really need, but it looks like his percentages and turnovers continue to weigh him down no matter how good he has played these last couple of weeks and there was no trade market for him in my league. I faced the same dilemma with goran 2 weeks ago. Hopefully Melitón plays well but if he or Van flop, I can use my second place waiver pick to get Bledsoe back lol. Sorry to continue derailing the ANTHONY MELTON thread, but this assessment of Bledsoe is oversimplified. He started out *horribly* on the Pels this season and is shooting an uncharateristic 65% from the line and 44% from the field with a paltry 1.1 stocks. That is not who he is — historically he’s a lot more efficient — so to judge him based on his current BBM ranking is misleading at the moment. Melton flashed the potential to be a stock monster and very strong rebounder last season as well. He wasn’t terribly inconsistent when given a decent load but could not lock down starter’s (or even 6th man) minutes so his usefullness would come and go. His value is hinging on the coach’s decision whether to give him more minutes or not which is a crap shoot. I’m not dropping anyone half-decent or giving up my streaming spot for him, but he has some potential still. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Supersonics 168 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 He did just sign a somewhat substantial contract over the offseason so maybe his minutes will be more consistent this year. No doubt he’s better than Brooks but that doesn’t mean he would be better suited as the starter. If he keeps getting 25mpg he’ll be very useful in 12 team leagues.

rob0403 1,226 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I think he and Brooks have a similar size contract if that means anything. I'd imagine if he signed that contract it means he should get at least backup minutes... not sure what Memphis is doing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DiscoNinja33 307 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 His biggest challenge to getting consistent 25 min per game is the emergence of Bane and Konchar + a healthy Grayson Allen who the Grizz rate. I think if the 3 mentioned above are all playing Melton probably only sees around 18 minutes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chickennuggets 101 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I would like to apologize to the Rotoworld community for picking this guy up. Once again, without fail, he is on his way to dropping a 💩 on my roster. I am sure he will pick it back up once I drop him. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tazdingo 363 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I don't own the guy but his line today seems far from droppable in my eyes, especially considering Dillon was hitting his shots crazy today. 12-6 with 3 blocks and 1 3pt, on a "bad night"?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dont_panic 27 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 If he's going to average 7 three point attempts per game, he has to be picked up right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ComeOnAndSlam 526 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 1 hour ago, dont_panic said: If he's going to average 7 three point attempts per game, he has to be picked up right? I doubt he averages anything close to that. The Memphis guard rotation is too deep for that to happen. Just look at the past few games. it's taken at least 2 guards to be unavailable for Melton to start getting consistent burn. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MikeXScott 164 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 5 assists, 1 blk, 1 3pt, 8pts Is this is a reasonable expectation going forward ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JormaJormala 743 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 (edited) 10 points, 4 - 4.5 assists, CLOSE to 1 block with 1.5 steals. Over 1 3PM and +4 rebs. Edited February 5 by JormaJormala 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JormaJormala 743 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I've talked about their back court rotation before. It came as a shock to me that Melton was dropped when everyone was healthy. Just dumbfounding. Last nights game they had Allen still on the sidelines and second unit guys including had +20 and first unit was -30! Melton really is their best guy off the bench any way you look at it. Then its Allen and newly drafted Bane. Gonchar gives them more of that hustle aspect. If you look at the rotation PG is completely exhausted with Morant and Jones. There is nothing to debate there. It is the two starting spots that really get me. SloMo Anderson and especially Dillon Brooks just are not starting material in this league. Brooks is just god-awful player. If you try to figure where the minutes should come its obvious you should start with Brooks and maybe shave some Anderson usage away too. Bane as a shooting threat deserves playing time and Melton/Allen are next in line. Gonchar is the guy off the bench who should be in the down low. But Brooks and Anderson just flat out play too much. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is there a chance when Grayson get back, Melton is benched, or becomes a 12mpg guy? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JormaJormala 743 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 There is a real chance. He was playing just fine last time and got the hook. Now he played even better and you would think he jumped at least Gonchar on the rotation. But Im not counting on him to keep up with this at all. Free money is how I see it right now. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
