Comes down to whether you want to chase the ceiling of Thomas.

Thomas does not contribute much in the other facets of the game and thus will be reliant on scoring his 25+ odd points, game in and game out to compensate for the poor shooting nights. Averaging 26 points, 4 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1 steal a game this season.

Thompson is currently averaging 11.4 points, 9.3 rebounds, 4 assists, 2.1 blocks and 1.1 steals per game with a field goal percentage of 37.8% and a three point % of 15.8. Scored sub 10 points in the first three games but in all four last round hovered around the 14-16 range.

First match with 20+ (>16) points today for A Thompson (DET). Also great to see he has given the three ball away in the past few matches with a 0-1 from three point range in each of the last four matches.

Might be better served until they are on double fours, but Dejounte Murray is one I am keeping my eye on. Largely because I have him in the lock-in Sleeper League. 41 DT points today although T Young was unavailable.

Ever since the Young and Murray hook up I've avoided both ...

- both are good but rarely IMO do they both score well at same time ..

Definitely right up there. Jokic in a lock for mine, George definitely going to be a very tempting option for Doncic and see if any rookies demand selection. Harden and Kawhi at least watchlist worth also. Pelicans throwing a ton of awkwardness into the equation.

Sooked about it a few times but I do wish the games per week wasn't such a pivotal factor. Made me think of a fantasy league I was in years ago where you had 36 minutes (iirc) per position on the court and would set the order of players to fill it. Reckon it would be a much better way of running a DT based competition. Not sure how you'd do the specifics (say where a player plays 4 games how do you apportion the score) but reckon it could be a cool system that would enable the starting picks to actually matter and nailing breakouts to be more than a week to week proposition. Added bonus that some of the per minute specialists could throw some real strategy curveballs out there as well.

Harden possibly ... long stretch at the moment as his role has changed ...

Kawhi ... I haven't considered for many years ... that knee I can't go with ... more a finals specialist ...

Trust me ... I'm looking as well ...

- I haven't excluded him ... just putting up some food for thought ..

Not much in the 4.4. game combo in the right position (that end of the court) ...
- might need to take a one week rental but I don't really like doing that ...

Mitchell is still on my watchlist ... keen eye on him for the rest of the round but don't really like predominant shooters ...
LaVine might be on the trade table etc ...

Probably looking at rookie coverage for a week at the moment ...

- that will depend on the perceived strength of other lines ...

Edit: Still trying to find a way to keep AD etc ...
- I do have one drafted but it will be sketchy price wise to say the least ...

Interesting...all along I'd been looking to add SF/PF when I own 2 already haha. As soon as you mentioned PG this arvo I immediately thought he's a way better fit and started playing around.

I also crossed Westbrook off my list. I came to the conclusion that a cheapie on a 4 was the way to go for Doncic.

Coulibaly and Robinson are the two that I've penned so far. See if anyone else can add themselves to the mix over the rest of the week.

I haven't ruled out taking both to be honest. Tend to come up with a boost option every week.

Embiid to Jokic is a non negotiable.

Obviously a trickier spot if you want to hold Davis but you will probably find a way.

Doncic to jokic via ad to pf and lively/toppin to a bench pg is kind of sketchy but I don’t hate it
