Friday was, to no one's surprise, JAMMED with fantasy results. Jalen Duren and Cooper Flagg went down, Walker Kessler is amazing, and the panic meter on many players is headed hard in the up or down…
There's going to be like a, you know, he's going to have the adrenaline hit to start the year, and then you're going to see a little slowdown as his legs go heavy, and then he'll be great the rest of the season.
Andrew Nembhard has been better than expected, but there's some stuff happening with him that we know is not going to stick, like the 52% from the field and the high volume 92% at the free throw line.
He's a point guard who doesn't hit threes and doesn't get that many rebounds or steals.
I don't think you can sell high because I doubt people are all that interested, but if you could, I would.
Pascal Siakam I faded the crap out of because I was like, I think this guy might be a punt free throw dude now, and he looks like a punt free throw dude, and hopefully I saved you guys on that front at least through two games.
Maybe he makes every free throw he takes the rest of the year, but I'm skeptical of that.
And the one guy I'm sort of eyeballing, even a little bit of side eye to, is Obi Toppin, who's been a pillar of efficiency in 25 minutes a game so far.
If he gets 25 minutes, Toppin is a top 100 guy because he gets shots when he's on the floor, and he's super efficient.
And he's sort of like big man who can score, hit threes, and get some defensive stats, but doesn't bother to rebound.
I mean, how many leagues is Toppin even rostered in right now? Because people are just like, what, really? Obi Toppin? Get out of here with that.
