Nate Robinson or Warrick - Message Board Basketball Forum

Pouch26 · 03-01-2008, 10:20 AM

Who would you rather have? I'm looking for the most consistency here. (Especially for playoff time.) Warrick was good until last night and Nate's FG% seems to be getting worse. I feel like they will keeep Warrick going from here on out. I know Nate takes more categories and I like the threes when they go in, but FG% is one of my strongest categories to take each week too. Who should I take? Doesn't it look like I might be set with guards? Warrick plays SF/PF in Yahoo. Right now my team looks like this:

Stop me if this is a dumb move. I haven't made a move in a while and I feel like I'm going to get click happy soon.

12 team/H2H/5th place/9 categories/ lineups set weekly, only 9 players
PG: Deron Williams
SG: Felton
G: Grant Hill (Usually Mike Miller takes this spot)
SF: Rudy Gay
PF: Al Jefferson
F: Horford
C: Dwight Howard
UTIL: Udrich or Devin Harris (Depends on #of games and match ups.)
UTIL: Brad Miller

Bench:Mike Miller (INJ)
Biedrins (INJ)
Nate Robinson (FG% is down, but he gets me points and threes)
Devin Harris (Hoping that he will do a lot of what he did 1st game back)

I'd rather have Warrick personally

Yeah, I'm almost about to make this move. Dropping Nate for Warrick that is. Anyone else have any thoughts about this move? It just seems like Warrick will have more consistent numbers. The only thing I'm worried about losing is Nate's threes.

Warrick's been very consistent since he's been given big time minutes. Before last night, he had 7 straight games of at least 15/7. He still took 13 shots last night, and was close to a double double, so there's no reason he won't continue to consistently put up 17/8 a game for a while.

As for Nate, he's not as consistent as Warrick, and with the way the Knicks are playing, you never know if Isiah's going to sit his starters for long stretches in blowouts, or if he'll give Mardy some of Nate's minutes like he did at the end of last year.

If you need FG% and consistency, then I guess Warrick's your man; although I'd check out the Knick's/Grizzlies' fantasy play-off schedules to see how many games each will play before making a decision.

Warrick doesn't realy fit on your team though, you already have a bunch rebound/fg%/points guy. I don't see how you start him over your other guys in a weekly league..barring injuries.

Thanks a lot to everyone so far. The teams I am facing these coming weeks before playoffs are similiar to my team strengths. (FG%, points, rebounds, blocks.) I feel like Warrick can give me a slight edge on weeks I need that additional FG% and Rebound bursts. Any other thoughts out there is GREATLY appreciated. Currently in 5th place and winning 7-2 this week...Crossing my fingers tonight as I face Chris Paul again tonight.
