PLAYERS:
Kyle Lowry,
Ricky Davis,
James Posey
TEAMS: Memphis Grizzlies, Miami Heat, Minnesota Timberwolves
TEAMS: Memphis Grizzlies, Miami Heat, Minnesota Timberwolves
So, Mike Conley got outplayed by a BOC Kyle Lowery last night. Not sure what it all means, but on our Mock Draft Roundup Conley is going at about 93, while on Yahoo, he's down at 126. I guess if there's a question mark, then the 126 number is more accurate. And shows what us "experts" know?
And also, Ricky Davis is going to the Heat. Here's my post in the FantasyBasketball.com forums:
I'd say he's more valuable now. As TheBurningRed said, he's pretty much guaranteed the starting spot (I'm assuming he'll start at SF since Walker was part of the trade, and James Posey is gone).
Penny Hardaway is too old and banged up to play more than a handful of minutes at SG or SF. Dorell Wright is the other option for the Heat, but they always seem reluctant to give him the PT, so I think the majority of minutes will go to Davis. And when Wright is playing, they could slide Davis to SG and give Wade some rest.
I'm not a big Ricky Davis fan or anything, and I still wouldn't be drafting him, but I do think he's worth more on the Heat (without Walker) than he was on the Wolves. Not a lot more? but a little more.
Davis is going about 59 on Yahoo and our Mock Draft Roundup? If you want to draft him, you can probably take him around there and feel good about your potential for ROI from him.

There was a little of each in the Celtics game against the Warriors. The good is seeing KG, Tony and Ray making progress at getting back to form and the Pistons losing their second in a row as well.
