I can’t get a read on this guy from a dynasty perspective. How do we feel about his potential/development? Is there a bigger role for him on the magic to grow into?

Is he more worth a dynasty stash spot than guys like Clowney, Filipowski?

Does anyone else remember him having more eligibility than PF on ESPN? Any way to appeal for him to have SF or even SG?

I feel like he should hopefully be better as there will be less pressure and hopefully that can get him to get more assists but at the same time with all those guys eating will there be enough for Oubre?

I can’t be the only one who finds certain player’s games unwatchable, like nails on a chalkboard.

I’ll kick it off:

1. by far and away - Scottie Barnes

He is a decent player in real life, and really great in fantasy basketball. Nonetheless, he just looks so stiff without an ounce of fluidity. I guess this comes from being so lanky, hence the reason it looks like a baby giraffe dribbling a basketball. I cannot hate him, though, since his game is somewhat effective in producing wins for a below average Raptors team.

Who is your unwatchable player, effective or not, and why?

Watching the game he seemed to be the best low post defense for the Hornets. Diabate seemed pretty confident guarding out on the perimeter too. Matched up consistently with Siakam and Turner and held his own. What are the odds Diabate moves into the starting lineup with both Williams and Richards out with injury and the current starter being...Taj Gibson...

Anyone intrigued to pick up in 12t? Any chance his minutes hold or increase during this injured big man stretch? Long term prospects?

41st ranked overall player last week in Cats. 24th if you are in a punt FG build.

3 3s, 1 Steal, 1.7 Blocks over three games in the last seven days, all with Kuzma out. First one off the bench for Jonas in their most recent game, but still got 34 minutes.

Wizards seem committed to the rebuild and Kuzma won't be long for this team if he ever returns, so I think there's a clear path to 30+ minutes

3s look real (he took 17 two games ago), and if the stocks hold up it's a really fantasy friendly game. I'd say definitely worth a flier in anything 10 teams or over.

That boy lowkey been playing hot buns. Do y’all think he might have a terrible start and will improve and start averaging 60-70 fantasy points, or just keep getting outperformed by his role players?? Because all the role players in OKC is actually popping off in fantasy and even outperforming Shai

Three weeks into the season and the amount of injuries have been very frustrating to say the least. There are also many players that were drafted but are not performing up to expectations so now the urge to call them a bust due to the frustration is building up more and more.

There seems to be quite a bit more injuries happening this season compared to others and injuries that are announced after the games are done. I’m sure most people who are in competitive leagues have their IR full and may even be holding a bench spot for an injured player.

Most recently Kevin Durant played the whole game, had a fantastic finish to the game not showing any signs of injury and then the next day is announced to have suffered an injury. I am not a Durant owner but I imagine how frustrating that must be for those who do have him after the great season he’s been having so far.

FEAR NOT, we must stay strong and hold on! It is only week three and there is a lot more fantasy basketball to be played! Players will heal and those in a slump will eventually return the value expected when they were drafted. This may be copium, but to freak out and lose hope on good players this early is also very pessimistic. If you were feeling really down, or low about your team don’t beat yourself up for it. Everything will be okay!

The Hornets are really depleted in the front court with injuries to their starting centers and their biggest active players are the corpse of Taj Gibson and Salaun.

Most starting centers are probably rostered but would it be a decent idea to stream bigs or even backups playing against the hornets while both mark williams and Nick richards are out?

Like for example tomorrow either Caleb martin or Guershon Yabusele?

I know I've seen a link before being cited on this sub with a database of a player's injury history. So, for instance, I could see what various ailments have kept Zion sidelined over the years, and for how long.

Can anyone help by providing the link?

Is it time to move on from kawhi? I’ve been holding him in 1 of my IR but also have Embiid who’s going to be in and out. With all the injuries going on it’s getting harder to hold him. Even if he does come back it could be after new year and he’ll likely have a heavy minute restriction and not play b2bs. Anyone considering dropping?

Is Vucevic a sell high or are his stats sustainable with Demar Derozan gone?

He’s putting up arguably top 20 numbers right now.

Who is a he sell high for?

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.

Player discussion Guideline: Are people around the league keeping or dropping him?

Kyle Kuzma

Most recent statline: Missed last 4 games

Latest Player update: No information on if Kuzma is progressing at all

Personal analysis and opinion: A strained grain takes 4-6 weeks to get better and he's barely missed over a week, why should he be rostered? Trey Murphy is coming back Monday, seems a better bet

Any thought’s on the performance Westbrook has put on lately and thoughts about his future with the nuggets?
