Is Nikola Vucevic a good buy?

[lukeouh]

What do you think? I collect him, but thinking about getting rid of one PC player

[snsdmonkey]

Get rid of Tobias and sell him to me ;)

[lukeouh]

No thanks. Harris and Ibaka I feel are safer than Vucevic and Harkless

Yep compared to your other players Ibaka (playoff contenders) and Harris (high scoring swingman) will have the most potential

But I would keep Vucevic since he could be the top rebounder next year (was 2nd this year behind Howard)

In my honest opinion, if you're looking to speculate, get rid of Ibaka. I had one of the best PCs of him in the world by the beginning of last year, had every card but the 1/1s, and I sold pretty much the whole lot. Here's why:

1. Big men hardly sell well at the top. Last year was the continuation of his breakout and without Harden had more chances to do something. Added a mid-range and a little to his post up game.
2. Defence doesn't = $$. Also blocks in the league are not as much of a premium as they were before. I played fantasy basketball last year and the value of blocks dropped significantly with the emergence of Marc Gasol, Larry Sanders and the re-emergence of Tim Duncan. Unlike 3 years ago when you had Dwight and then everyone else, now you have 5+ players averaging 2+ blocks a game.
3. Forever stuck behind Durant, Westbrook and either Lamb/Jackson for next season.

I probably tripled my initial investment in Ibaka (a big OKC fan always helps you get in early) and I just feel there's not much more he can do to justify another increase. Ibaka's far from an all-star and DPOY's don't give you much in terms of hobby love either. As usual I could be wrong though ;)

Agree with the poster above me, get rid of Ibaka.

Vucevic has a world of potential

This made me laugh. Harkless has much more potential than Harris. As for Vucevic he is a great investment now at his prices.

[lukeouh]

OK. So get rid of Ibaka.

Vucevic has huge potential, I would say get some NT rpa's while they are affordable.

Same goes for Walker and Knight.
