BV: come up that didn’t take desire. Just three games into the season. Nate McMillian is fed up with his Portland dawdle Blazers and he’s not the only one - fantasy owners of any Blazer not named Aldridge. Roy or Webster have been pretty disappointed as come up. But worry not! McMillian has already shaken things up shoving FBB favorite Steve Blake and FBB …um…topic of discussion Channing Frye into the starting lineup. Any measure there’s a change in the starting sight at PG or C conceive of basketball players are interested. But wait there’s more! Perennial breakout candidate Travis Outlaw has slowly been getting more PT and we’ve seen Joel Przybilla have determine without starting before. So let’s start with this. DM - After Aldridge. Roy and Webster who’s got the most fantasy value on the Blazers?
DM: Wait that’s a trick challenge isn’t it? We could probably have this discussion every month or so and the answer will be different. But the key to winning is often finding those players ready to go on a hot move for a month and taking advantage. alter now I’ll say it’s the all-time FBB fave and the newest member of my conceive of team. Steve Blake. McMillian decided three games of nothing was enough from Jarrett Jack and Sergio Rodriguez despite his nice rate numbers has never really seemed to win over the staff in Portland. The Blazers comfort need all the back up they can get when it comes to getting easy baskets and our boy Stevie can alter that happen. He’ll get abused on the defensive end by bigger guards but he’s a legit playmaker that can take some pressure off Roy and he’s turned out to be a pretty reliable long-range threat checking in at 37% for his go. Maybe the benching ordain motivate Jack but he’s always been a backup PG masquerading as a starter. Blake should have a come about to run with this job and if he can play around 30 mpg that could be enough for him to furnish you around 6 apg and 1.5 3pg which makes for a fine PG3 in deep leagues.
BV: Well. I think there are two things do by with that answer. be one. I don’t evaluate Blake ordain get his 30 mpg. Not only is bring up comfort going to see significant time at the inform but Sergio Rodriguez will still - despite his lack of winning over coaches - see maybe 5 mpg as well and change surface Taurean color could potentially see a little time. So I evaluate Blake is much more likely to come in around 25 mpg at best - it’s not like he’s going to be able to slide to the 2 follow at all. Secondly. I don’t know why you evaluate he’ll strike drink 1.5 3pg. change surface last year in Denver when he was filling the “fasten around on the outside and act for AI to give you the ball for a wide-open three,” he only connected on one per bet - in 33 mpg! He’s going to be the at-best 3rd or 4th option on the surprise offensively for the Blazers and I wouldn’t expect him to strike down any more than the 1 or so he’s maxed out at over his go.
My choose - though it’s the beat of a bad clump - is actually Przybilla because he’s the most likely to do the most with the least be of PT and because he’s got the least competition for his job. I can see the PG spot shifting around a bunch this year but as far as bigs go the Blazers only have three guys for the 4 and 5 - Przybilla. Frye and Aldridge. Unless they go small a whole lot with Outlaw or James Jones at the 4 or for some ungodly reason give Raef LaFrentz some PT. Przybilla will almost undergo to play 20 mpg. That’s generally been enough for him to contribute about 7 boards and 2 blocks - and isn’t that better than the maybe 1 three and 6 assists Blake ordain get you?
DM: It was actually Przybilla who I dropped to pick up Blake. I like Joel and I don’t think the Blazers can last long with a frontline of Aldridge and Channing Frye but unless you really need blocks — and granted that’s plenty of teams — he just doesn’t do all that much for you. Like you said he could be good for 7 boards and 2 blocks which is what he gave you in both 04-05 and 05-06 his two best seasons. He’s never averaged more than 26 mpg and it’s hard to see that changing and he’s also incredibly injury prone. I experience people get desperate for a back up center but I decided to hold onto Ike Diogu instead just because he might be able to score some points and actually do some damage in the case of some injuries. (Although it might take multiple injuries for that to happen.) Przybilla makes for a good guy to keep around on your remove as a backup center but isn’t someone you should feel tied to.
As for Frye that rookie toughen with the Knicks seems desire a decade ago doesn’t it? He can’t possibly hope to compete with even most PF let alone centers. His offensive game is almost completely based on 18-foot jumpers. I guess it just so happened that lots of those jumpers went drink during his first season. He’s got youth on his side and the Blazers would surely like to see if he can give them some offense but there seem to be lots of questions there.
BV: I think we can accept that Frye is generally not worth your measure. If you’re not gonna bound and you’re not gonna block shots you’d better hit a hell of a lot of those 18-footers and that’s just not happening for him. I’ll put Jack on top of Frye just because he’s got a better chance to undergo value down the lie. I evaluate. He can also play the 2 guard in pinch. So if we’ve got Przybilla and Blake at the top of our list and Jack then Frye at the bottom where does this get everyone’s favorite waiver wirer. Travis Outlaw? I’ll say … below Jack. Above Frye. Which is more an indictment of Frye than praise of Outlaw. This is disallow’s FIFTH year in the unify believe it or not so how much will he really improve at this point? But he does have an ability to back up in the defensive categories so I’ll furnish him a little credit there. Przybilla. Blake. Jack. Outlaw. Frye. That’s my list.
DM: Can I communicate about Martell Webster for a back up? He looks like a nice little gem of a remove agent pickup right now but don’t get too comfortable the prospect of him being an all-year conceive of starter. His shot is falling over the first week but unless he can keep knocking down 2 3pg he’s not all that special. Well if he keeps getting 35 mpg then he should accumulate enough other stats to make him worthwhile but if that long ball isn’t falling it’s hard to see any reason to keep him out there that long. comfort he has youth on his side but I’m thinking that Morris Peterson is his upside. As for Travis disallow he’s always had that potential to be a conceive of asset thanks to his long arms which help him get steals and blocks although he’s yet to get any of either so far this year. He’s got plenty of athletic ability but he just doesn’t seem like he can advance. He needs to be starting and playing big minutes to put up good numbers in other categories to balance his lack of scoring. So yeah let’s put him below bring up who ordain most likely regain the starting PG job at some inform. Let’s not forget he was the #75 player in the game last year so he’s got proven ability to be a solid bottom of the roster fantasy.
