Em-City 67 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 (edited) Didn't see a thread. Is anyone else stuck holding this guy through his back injury? He's usually a reliable fantasy contributor in pts ft% and keeps his TOs down. I'm hoping he picks up playmaking responsibilities with Fultz out as well, but need him on the court at this point.

fabrar 2,888 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I have him in IL. He's a solid, reliable contributor in points, 3s, fts, low TOs and some solid steal numbers. Without Fultz, he should have more opportunities too. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ov3 22 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 At this point I gotta hold, been waiting on him too long. He'll continue to be solid, maybe even better with Fultz gone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hardyharhar 246 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 (edited) Are back spasms something that lingers or if he heals up he'll be fine going forward? Edited January 12 by hardyharhar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radiohead 17 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 What’s up with him? Any chance he plays the second leg of a b2b tom? I was watching the Boston-Orlando game and there was a guy in the bench that looked like him who was wearing a walking boot. I sure hope he doesn’t have any other injury besides the reported back spasms. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
henesey 1 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 This guy just got dropped in my 14T league, I think he will be deliver top 70 value once he returns but the injury is concerning (Back spasms). He's nearly been out 3 weeks is it the perfect time to pick him up? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Honestly can't remember another player sitting out this many games in a row due to back spasms since probably Mcgrady. I don't blame him though. I've had back spasms, they are extremely brutal and they make you feel like you can barely move. They go away for the most part with enough rest, but they could always flare up again. I think he's gonna go off when he comes back though since Fultz went down. His assists should go up, but his fg% will go down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The only interesting part is we don’t get the round the clock treatment like they do so I’m wondering if it’s something more that we don’t know about. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
andy1234 176 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 just dropped in my 12 team league. even without an available IL spot, I can't see how he gets dropped in a 12 team league. We know what he is, but he has a high floor as compared to others drafted around where he typically is and he should get an uptick in assists. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fabrar 2,888 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Yeah I don't think he should be dropped. Without Fultz, he should easily be avging 17-18 ppg with solid efficiency and a couple of 3s. Also a nice source 3-4 dimes and 1.4ish steals. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cucubing 111 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 If he’s available, this is the last chance to pick him up. It might take him a few games to be productive but I think once he settles should have all the opportunities to produce. Orlando needs him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hoping for 4-5 assists this year. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
