Apollo_87 420 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 If a single player on a 12-14 player roster can win you a category by himself, it makes life so much easier. I have no one else on my roster who was a blocks specialist, and this guy won me that category. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Turner is NOT going to give you this many blocks all the time. There will times when for the whole week he'll give you 1 or 2. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

People can keep dismissing the massive value this guy’s been bringing, that’s just doing everyone else a favor. Thank you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DoctorLove 269 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Wasn’t he supposed to start hitting a few more 3s this year? People still thinking that’s possible? Loving what he’s giving me so far... a few triples will be a nice cherry on top Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Blocks are one of the hardest cats to find in FA/WW, along with FT% impact and assists. u can’t find players with 1 bpg on the wire? stream that spot 7 times and you got 7 blocks on the week not to mention, there’s no way turner keeps this up when his blocks regress to the mean, you’re guna be mad as hell at them 8 point 4 rebounds games Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You’re essentially describing a situation where you hit 7 of 7 times Doesn’t happen In the real world, blocks are massively prone to variance from game to game. If I were to stream Jakob Poeltl and his 1.4 BLK average for a game, that in zero way assures me of getting a single BLK from him BLKs (like STL) happen so infrequently, and as a result, the guys we know who excel in these categories only do so over an accumulation of time. These aren’t categories that can simply be streamed via a single roster spot with the expectation that it’s a sure thing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
laurilegend 202 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 This guy single handedly won me blocks and allowed me to play three point specialists yesterday and I almost turned a 3-6 into a 5-4, ended up losing FG% by a whisker. That's the value of having a one category monster, especially when it's the rarest category. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

By attempting to stream shot blockers (I’m assuming you allude to players like Poertle, Birch, Biyombo, TT and their ilk) you’re also inviting damage to your FT%, whereas Turner is going to make ~77% of his FTA and chip in elsewhere. Turner has been the same 13/7 with maybe a 3PM and 2+ blocks guy for 4 years now. Savvy fantasy managers have appropriate expectations. All you’re telling us now is not to consider your input credible at this point. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But streaming allows you to more easily adjust your strategy along the way. I think most of us play with an acquisition limit anyway, so it's probably a moot point.

Brye 402 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 This guy going to lead the league in blocks, he’s a stud in the right build. And if Sabonis gets injured this dude can really take off even more Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brandayz 306 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 How do we value him and his ELITE blocks this year? They have been insane in the first 4 matches. Trying to figure out his value and what you guys would take in return (trade wise) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What a tease this guy is hahaha. Plays terribly for me and then does this when I missed him by a hair. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
