Aktuelles » other things in my life. I just try to go out

Every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, we pose a question to a rotating panel of ESPN fantasy basketball experts to gauge their thoughts on a hot topic. Todays contributors are ESPN Fantasys John Cregan, Kyle Soppe and Joe Kaiser.Name a player who has been underachieving this season and should be targeted in trades because you expect him to pick things up in the coming weeks.John Cregan: A week ago, I would have shouted Nikola Jokic from the rooftops. Now, after Mondays 27 point, 11 rebound breakout, Ill just tell you. There simply hasnt been a more disappointing player in fantasy this season, and its not due to a lack of ability. Its the timeshare with Jusuf Nurkic, and a residual lack of self-confidence thats resulted from it.Head Coach (and Fantasy Killjoy) Mike Malone has been excruciatingly steadfast in his defense of Jokics reduced role, but Jokics improving play since returning from a wrist injury is forcing Malone to reconsider expanding his offensive responsibilities. This may be your last chance to buy low.Another name to consider is?Andrew Wiggins, as?I have faith that Tom Thibodeau will mandate consistent improvement in steal and block production as the season progresses.Joe Kaiser:?Devin Booker of the Phoenix Suns is the name that comes to mind. He hasnt taken the next step like many expected, but its easy to forget that he just turned 20 at the start of the season. Last season as a rookie, he flourished once the injuries started to mount in the backcourt, and I could envision that same thing happening again this season if either?Eric Bledsoe or Brandon Knight miss time.Bookers game is built around scoring and, when his confidence is high, it impacts the rest of his game. Hes a player who is outside the top 50 in fantasy right now, but hes averaging 33 minutes a game and has a 25.1 usage rate. When his shot starts to fall, he has a chance to become a big-time scorer in the Suns fast-paced offense. Expect his shooting percentages (41.1 FG, 31.4 3PT) to rise and his scoring average (18.4 PPG) to follow suit in the weeks and months ahead.Kyle Soppe: Im going to break the rules a bit here and name a player I am targeting in trades that is NOT struggling. The purpose of this question is to find a player whose stock will increase in value moving forward and I think Sam Dekker fits that bill. Hes playing well, which is exactly why someone may be willing to deal him at this point, thinking that they are selling high. Buy.Dekker is an analytics dream on the offensive end with nearly 95 percent of his shots coming either within eight feet of the basket or beyond 24 feet. He has proven to be a capable rebounder at times, averaging 10.8 boards per 48 minutes in December, with as many seven-plus rebound efforts in the past two weeks as he had all of last season.Im buying him as a viable option in the third-most efficient offense in basketball, with the potential for his value to spike in a big way if and when Ryan Anderson (97 missed games in the past three seasons) or Trevor Ariza (31 years old, and averaging more than 33 minutes for the fourth straight season) miss time. Dekker currently sits at No. 153 on our Player Rater and if that is how he is valued in your league (in the Andre Roberson and Shelvin Mack tier), you need to pounce.Fake Vans SK8 . P.A. Parenteau scored early in the third period to help the Avs edge Toronto 2-1 on Tuesday night. Cory Sarich also scored for Colorado (3-0-0), which is off to its best ever start. Fake Vans Slip-on . It was the kind of score that might make everyone else wonder which course he was playing. Except that Graeme McDowell saw the whole thing. Crouched behind the 10th green at Sheshan International, McDowell looked over at the powerful American and said, "Ive probably seen 18 of the best drives Ive seen all year in the last two days. http://www.fakevans.com/fake-vans-toy-story/ . The Islanders dealt Thomas Vanek to the Montreal Canadiens after less than a year on Long Island. Meanwhile, the Oilers dealt long-time sniper Ales hemsky to the Ottawa Senators on Wednesday for a fifth-round pick in 2014 and a third-rounder in 2015. Fake Vans Store . The Vancouver coach and an announced sellout crowd of 18,910 watched in dismay as the Canucks lost 7-4 to the New York Islanders on Monday night by squandering a 3-0 lead in the third period.
