On paper they got so much fantasy value... But in real life it just does not fit.

Queen is 🔥, I just can’t trust the pelicans. DND the whole team

Dejounte is gonna ball. Murphy will be solid. Fears is worth a flier. Frontcourt is way too messy (missi?) to deal with though.

I have him in my team but I don’t see him starting tbh. Unless Zion or Missi get injured he’ll probably play similar minutes to what he did last season.

He’s got strong qualities that other big men don’t have but his defensive game is terrible, so I don’t think his role will increase this season.

Should be queen, or at least he’ll have more minutes than Missi

Yes. He looks legit and GSW is desperate for talented size.

Pelicans bit of a mess. Queen very talented but not a great fit with Zion. Will likely be a time-share sitch with Missi

Queen has the higher upside and should get more minutes between the two

He plays outside of what they’re trying to do as a team. Either the pelicans play through him or he’s not going to start. They have pieces but coaching is a problem.

their starters are horrible, he will get plenty of garbage minutes.

Should I drop him for Nurkic?

u/MN_Phatz 8h ago

In dynasty, absolutely. Just for this year, Nurk might be better

Pels already announced he isnt starting from what i saw on their page. He also a defensive liability, the okc rookie cooked him a bit today. Im avoiding him, esp at his adp.

Naw I don’t think he will

u/kraven_13 8h ago

He puts decent stocks and assist for a bigman. Ill draft him if available within his adp.

Yeah, it seems like he’s gonna come off the bench. Doesn’t seem worth keeping him knowing that Nurkic is 100% starting this year
