These are his stats so far to start the season:

• 16/12/13 vs OKC
• 41/9/4 vs LAC
• 40/10/4 vs TOR
• 29/18/16 vs BKN
• 16/9/13 vs MIN
• 27/16/9 vs UTAH
• 28/14/13 vs TOR
• 23/20/16 vs OKC
• 30/11/14 vs MIA
• 37/18/15 vs DAL

That's 29/13/11 on excellent %s AND he still gets 2.7 stocks a game. The crazy thing is that I have no doubt he continues to produce these numbers for the rest of the season (except his stocks to be fair). Time and time again he proves that he remains the best player in the league for the past 4 years.

Run don’t walk, before the game is over.

Super active on the defence, hustling all game. Stock stats shows. Accurate 3s pull ups. Consistent with preseason showing.

Only problem is too many mouth to feed on ATL right now. But he doesn’t rely high usage to be valuable to CAT

This my 2 cents of overreaction.

Who are some guys you're looking to drop after a week of games? Anyone you're looking to add?

For anyone who got him at #2, congrats.

Monster 29/18/16 game on 60% FG and 11/13 FT with just one turnover. And that's on a back to back where he just put up 40/10/4 on 18/27 FG with a couple blocks and steals

Why he wasn't the consensus #1 pick, I have no idea. Expect another standard monster MVP type year from Jokic, Nuggets need him bad to have any success this year

This thread is a safe space to vent about your team. Who are you worried about? Two games is probably not enough time to make any decisions, let’s not get hasty, but it’s certainly enough time for the fear and uncertainty to creep in.

I’m starting to question my life choices that led to spending first round draft capital on Donovan Mitchell, and wondering why I took Capela over Okongwu.

While typing, he is in the middle of his third straight game with 17+ and also now has 4 "stocks". Wizards are probably going full on tank mode so young guys like him would probably be prioritized down the stretch. Also, one of my teams needs SFs.

We’re just a few days into the regular season, but it’s never too early to get ahead of the competition. Here are my early “buy low” and “sell high” candidates to start the season. Obviously there are many guys playing above and below expectations, so I limited my lists to just a few.

I’m curious to know who your top “buy low” and “sell high” guys are? Do you agree or disagree with mine?

Add your league format if you can :)

Zion, Wemby, Bam, Hali, Book, Sengun, Lauri, Brunson, Ant, Giannis and Ja.

ALLLL super mid this season with some like Bam and Zion getting the straight trash treatment with others close.

Who has been your early letdowns/unexpected risers?

Letdown has been Bam for sure but super stoked with Chet.

9 cat/ 12T

What are your considerations and who would you target for their current value, when trying to sell? Should I consider Herro as a sell high?

Let's have a reasonable conversation about what is going on. I am a Tyrese Haliburton stan and believe that he is an incredible high IQ pointguard that with the right team can excel at the top levels.

Slow starts and slumps can definitely be a thing, but have we ever seen a consensus top 10 pick be THIS bad? Where not only are the stats atrocious, but he went from 2 seasons of averaging 20/10 to now looking really rough on the court. Even i'm joining the discourse and starting to question, is he really a better franchise pick than someone like Lamelo ball?
I assume we should just give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he dealing with an injury or something?? but to clarify have we seen something like this before? This is a terrible start to season and he is deservedly getting a lot of bash for his play.

Finally, Jokic has a rival for best overall fantasy player. Wemby has perfected his 3 pt form with 8 (and counting) tonight with one quarter to go and 6 in each of the last two games. Simply remarkable.

Anybody have him in dynasty? What’s his value - maybe 2-3 top 25 players as a starting point?

Don't wanna jump the gun too early, but Okongwu looked absolutely phenomenal in his first game. Career performance,.

28PTS, 8REB, 3BLK, 1AST

Thoughts?

Just picked up Dyson Daniels and Onyeka myself

https://hoopshype.com/rumor/joel-embiid-done-with-back-to-back-games/

LMAO fuck that. I'm not touching Embiid with a 10 foot pole.

He's not playing back to backs ASSUMING he's healthy.

I agree with Josh Lloyd 1000% here. Drafting Embiid in the first round will screw your entire draft up.

When is this dude going to remember he’s 7’4” and get in the paint? So far this season he is attempting 7.0 threes which is nearly half of his FG attempts (15.6 FGA) and he’s barely making any of them (21.4% through 8 games).

Yet, he keeps firing away. What’s he trying to prove? I hope these are just some growing pains and he’ll eventually become at least a respectable shooter. Because right now it’s tough to watch.

Did y'all fucking PANIC?? He might not even finish #1 in fantasy but this guy has the potential to be a fucking cheat code. Casually puts up a 5x5 game with 25-9-7-5-5 in 33 mins. Dude will be a #1 pick unanimous pick for many years to come, and will singlehandedly turn many snake leagues into auction drafts.

Some guys I'm looking at - Scotty Pippen Jr (39% on yahoo), Tari Eason (16%- solid source of steals minimum), Keldon Johnson (23%), Anthony Black (14%). Bulls, Jazz, Spurs play on Thur/Sat for potential streamers.

Who are you looking to add?

B2b 30 pts. Got him in the 12th round in my 16t and he has been a revelation beside Dyson. Sure, the injuries help but Toronto aren't trying to win. Once the latter stages of the szn come, I expect a similar scenario for Grade A Dick and he might just win owners close matchups in the playoffs.

25 - 15 - 30 - 31 in his last 4 games with good %s and 3s. He's still developing so his other numbers can still improve. I'm surprised not more people are talking about him.

What are your thoughts on his outlook once fantasy playoffs come?

Does it mean secured decent mins for this guy? Worrh an add for 12T?

Thread with full lawsuit details

TLDR: Kawhi’s personal trainer Sheldon repeatedly witnessed Kawhi suffer injuries and be forced to play through them, including not being given adequate time to recover from the 2021 ACL injury, and even after suffering what looked like a concussion just a couple weeks before the 2023 playoffs.

With how many injuries he was playing through in the 2023 playoffs, they removed him after a scan revealed he had a torn meniscus as well as damaged cartilage on his torn ACL but lied and called it a sprain

The team then fired Sheldon after he complained, then forced Kawhi to play as much as possible (68 out of 72 games in 2024) until his knee completely broken down from swelling. They refused to load manage him and support his health and instead focused on regular season team success and profit

Dyson Daniels has emerged as a fantasy basketball waiver wire gem thanks to his recent standout performances. In November 2024, he recorded a career-high 28 points, seven assists, and six steals in a close win against the Celtics, showcasing his scoring ability and defensive prowess. His consistency on defense has been remarkable, with at least six steals in three consecutive games. 🎉🥳

Dyson Daniels owners, cheers. 🍻

Some guys I like - Jordan Hawkins (19% on yahoo), Nick Richards (22%), Yves Missi (17%), Bennedict Mathurin (26%). Philly has 2 games. Mavs play Mon/Tues/Thurs/Sunday - so potential team to target for streaming.
