Summary

Can you trust sinking stars and breakout rookies to guide your fantasy basketball team to victory?

Thank you for pushing us up to number one. We're here to answer questions from you guys.

1:01.4

Whatever questions you want. Got a question straight away from Angelo Herrera. This is Josh.

1:06.5

What did you have for lunch? 6.40 a.m. nothing. Literally just woke up, rolled out of bed,

1:13.2

washed some bits and pieces, had a coffee which I haven't drunk. And that's it. So yeah,

1:19.8

I haven't had any lunch yet. All right. Should I drop, Brent says. Should I drop Yusuf Nerkich

1:26.5

for Jacques LaDal or Isaiah Collier in a 156 deep weekly points league?

1:31.7

Okay, so yes, you should drop Yusuf Nurchich, right?

1:33.9

In this sort of format, easily.

1:35.4

Points League is worse than category leagues.

1:37.4

Weekly league is harder than daily leagues because you just don't know which games he's going to play.

1:41.2

Easy drop, easy drop.

Should it be Lando or Collier? It probably, it probably should be Collier. Honestly, um, Landau was very good last game. He was not good the game before. It's hard to reason they're going to just roll out three centres at a time, like they did in the last game in every game, although they did win. There's also a timeframe on what Landau does. With Collier, it's more likely to keep ramping up. But honestly, when you're making a decision like that, the decision to drop Nurkich is fine. It's more about what you're doing those other two. It's pretty borderline to me, but as a general rule, I believe Collier will be a better points they produced to theau, and there's more of a path to be a long-term value in that spot, I think.

2:22.2

Do you drop Suntil-Dama for Kyle Filipowski tonight?

2:24.8

I have Lowry.

2:25.4

Yeah, I would do that.
