Its a non-keeper league but you're asking who to keep? Are you asking us to drop 1 player from each group for this season?

If its for this year, I'd drop Augustin and Ibaka. Augustin because he's the most likely of that group to be supplanted by another player from a trade before the deadline, and Ibaka because he has a less formative role than the others for the rest of the way. Both drops are tough though.

Hey Benj,

Thanks for the input. Sorry, I realized that my phrasing was confusing --- I meant for the rest of this season. In one of my roto leagues, Conley and Hibbert got dropped over the last week and I was reshuffling my rosters. I felt similar to you, and dropped DJ for Conley and Ibaka for Hibbert.

For the PG situation, Davis has been playing like a beast but is an injury concern. Jrue has been playing crappy lately (Iggy is taking away playmaking), but DJ has also been playing horrible lately (and looks like he might be timesharing w/ Livingston now). Conley's been slowly going downhill slowly himself since the season started.

For the bigs, I'm also torn. Ibaka is inconsistent but has cat-changing FG%. Camby has been shooting poorly this year and I'm worried about injuries for him. Hibbert has been up and down, although I guess he's on the up now. Blatche has poor FG% and high TO's for a big.

Yeah, your guards are very up and down. They'll return to their norms soon though, I wouldnt be too worried about any of them. As for your bigs, I'm actually buying low on Camby if I can. While I agree that he's an injury concern, POR is so depleted for bigs that he won't have any choice but to rack up boards and blocks and let Aldridge do the scoring.

I agree - was thinking the same thing when I first read this.
