Woods was always a 4. and who is in the right mind would bench someone who can get 27-15?!? Yeah it was a great fill in stat line for daily fantasy, but it was without Dipo and Wood. Those two alone have like a 65% usage rate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So if Wood comes back and therefore his minutes get reduced, he won't be getting 27-15. I think he goes back to his bench role @ 15-20 minutes. Although as an owner I sure do hope he gets an increase. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This line is just toooooooo sexy to not pick him up Also the best lineup seems to be when Wood is not on the court and it’s: Gordon/Oladipo/Tate/Tucker/Cousins. That is post trade. So with everybody healthy we will see what Silas does. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Boogie has the better fantasy profile imo. Hits threes, makes free throws, and passes the ball for assists. Vando turns the ball over less and has a higher FG%. And is starting. As a punt FG/TO guy who owns both Boogie is the keep but neither guy seems all that great unless they start getting more consistent minutes. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Boogie avg 25-12 next to AD. Not that I expect him to get these number nightly but Cousins should play better as the season goes on. Also there are rumors of shipping of tucker. another thing they have going for them is they have a legit facilitator in wall similar to what AD and Cousins had with Rondo.

I think once they ship tucker our we should be comfortable knowing he should carve more than 15 minute a game.. damn i took a flier for the b2b stream and it paid off wow what a beast 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I guess that's where our opinions differ. I don't think they'll be starting Boogie ever if Wood is healthy, even if they ship Tucker. His minutes may improve to 20-25 per game, but he isn't getting the whole slice (in my opinion of course). He's there to play as the big for the second unit. They legit had no one today when he stepped on the bench and the Rockets were forced into a small ball game. Not ideal especially with Harden gone. Just some contrarian thoughts. But obviously I own Boogie, so I hope what you say comes true. Edited January 24 by Kraptocracy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

taenggg 1,149 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 (edited) Not going to bother checking the actual stats but I believe Wood and Boogie have played less than 20 mins on the floor together and that was mostly due to their first game where they barely had enough players to field Edited January 24 by taenggg Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kane 2,851 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 WCS maybe one of the worst starting C 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Johnnyapplebot 1,531 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 dude you are right. WCS was absolute HOT GARBAGE defending Cousins in that game. Damn he was completely lost and got completely owned. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Obliviate 137 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Taking a flier. Had Shake then dropped for McDermott for the stream, then dropping McDermott for Boogie and stashing. Let's see where this goes. Maybe they play him together with Wood like others have mentioned the same way he was played with AD. Should be a fun ride if he can tease with these numbers!

DezedandConfused 2,754 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Just a reminder both Dipo and Wood were not playing in this game. I want OG Cousins back as badly as all of you, loved his game since his SAC days. Unless Wood and Dipo are out for an extended time, I can't see him playing over 20 min/game. Hopefully some of yall are right though and they can play Wood/Cousins together for some stretches of the game. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You are giving up your worse guy on your bench. Guys like Ross were dropped for him. And if you held this long in 14 teams and up you are getting rewarded Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Like I said earlier, he played back to back 30 min games which means HOPEFULLY it means they play him more minutes especially with Woods on the floor. Its a flyer for a reason, if hes back to being the 15-20 min guy umm ok easy drop. We all dropped our worst players on our team for a chance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't consider Cousins an easy drop even if he only averaged 15-20 min a game. His upside is simply too great and I love having him at the end of my bench until further notice, through thick and thin. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

After his last game, its still there it seems. I feel you man. If Houston plays him more minutes and dare I say they liked what they saw and want to experiment the Pelicans twin tower system we got a diamond encrusted gold bar pickup. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
