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 Joe Kaiser and Kyle Soppe and ESPN NBA Insider Kevin Pelton.14 games into the nascent NBA careers of Dario Saric and Jamal Murray, each has shown promise for fantasy teams. Saric has scored in double digits in five of his past six games and is averaging 9.9 PPG, 6.2 RPG, 1.8 APG and 1.3 3-PPG. Meanwhile, Murray racked up 24 points on the Bulls on Tuesday night and is averaging 9.0 PPG, 2.3 RPG, 2.1 APG and 1.6 3-PPG.Do you think each will be a viable fantasy option the rest of the season? Do you prefer one over the other?Joe Kaiser: Consistency worries me for any rookie, and I think ultimately these are two players who are better suited to be fantasy contributors next season than this one, but here are the things to look at:1) Are they getting consistent minutes? 2) Do they have a good usage rate of at least 15? 3) Are they shooting at least somewhat efficiently?Entering Wednesday, Saric is playing 26 minutes a game (check!) with a usage rate of 19.3 (check!), but hes shooting just 39.9 percent, and thats a real anchor at a forward position. Additionally, Sarics minutes will dwindle in the months ahead, once Nerlens Noel and Ben Simmons return to the court. As for Murray, he is playing 20.3 minutes a game (check!) with a usage of 19.9 (check!), but like Saric, the problem is efficiency; the former Kentucky star is shooting just 40.9 percent with a below-average PER of 12.47 and will likely see less time as Will Barton gets back to full speed and Gary Harris returns to the lineup.Kyle Soppe: Both are interesting options in somewhat deeper formats, and I think what weve seen thus far is kind of what we can expect. Both players have the ability to score, but youre going to have to deal with plenty of poor games if you want to reap the occasional reward. I view Saric as the better to own this season, as his rebounding raises his floor enough for him to fall into fantasy value on a poor scoring night.Murrays value is more tied to scoring, and while I think he can already do that at an NBA level (just ask the Bulls), I worry that his skill set will remain somewhat limited for the Nuggets this season. Murrays nightly ceiling is probably higher, and if I have to roll the dice on either in DFS, itd be Murray, but if youre asking me at the end of the year, who has the more fantasy-friendly stat line, Ill take Super Dario in a close one.Kevin Pelton: For this season, Id say Saric has a better chance of being a viable fantasy option. Given the injuries the Nuggets have had at shooting guard (most notably Harris, a starter when healthy), this is probably about as many minutes as Murray is going to play, unless he proves capable of backing up Emmanuel Mudiay at point guard or Denver has an injury at that position.Saric, too, is close to his peak value at this point, but Simmons isnt due back to compete with him for playing time for more than a month, so I think this kind of production is what can be expected for him for some time now.

It doesnt quite work that way when you win soccer bronze at London 2012. Now some 10 months on from last summers Olympics, Canada finally gets to celebrate on home soil the astonishing journey of the Womens National Team Sunday afternoon at BMO Field. Adding an extra layer of spiced cake to the occasion, those damned Gold medal-winning, Centennial-celebrating, formidable U.S. team play the role of invited guests. When tickets went on sale in late March the public responded so well that all 20,000-plus tickets sold out in about the same amount as time as it takes Abby Wambach to count to six very loudly. Thats all for the history books now. What cant be forgotten though is that a seismic shift of the soccer platelets occurred when Christiana Pederson blew the final whistle at Old Trafford. If the immediate dramatic upward shift of interest in soccer across the country were a share price the Mounties would have immediately been called in to investigate a case of insider trading. Although soccer stabilized to its newly-revised lofty equilibrium over the winter another shift along the demand curve has occurred this week. Whilst the mens team were lamenting Tuesday nights defeat to Cost Rica in Edmonton, the buzz and excitement around Toronto as the Womens National Team prepared for what is set to be one of the biggest occasions in the 100-plus year history of the CSA has not gone unnoticed. Ever since Christine Sinclair led her nation out as flag bearer during the closing ceremonies at London, the national governing body has slowly but very assuredly inked new partner agreements behind the scenes. With each new partner deal the CSAs over-reliance on fees from soccer clubs and associations across the nation diminishes dramatically. As a result any thought of any more dramatic increase to those fees become a thing of the past, a relic. Its no coincidence, then - in a week where the spotlight is shining so brightly on the WNT - that the CSA announced the latest corporate partner to jump on board: a manufacturer of sun protection products. Following practice on Thursday evening Christine Sinclair proclaimed to the media that since London 2012, “Life has changed for a lot of us.” Although Sinclair was speaking specifically about her fellow WNT players she may also have been speaking about the burgeoning corporate squad which now surrounds and embraces Canadian soccer. Two of the more prominent ones - Bank of Montreal and Umbro - have been mightily active this week as they utilize the regal stage of Sunday afternoons encounter to showcase themselves to a growing and captivated audience. Umbro - identifying the public practice at BMO on Thursday as best opportunity to launch the WNTs new aaway kits – marked the culmination of 2012s centenary season with bronze in London.dddddddddddd Third place on the podium it may have been, but it may as well have been gold to the nations apparel manufacturer. “After the Olympic bronze medal performance we saw an immediate 40 percent spike above anticipated demand,” Umbro Canada V P Mike Shoemaker disclosed to TSN.ca yesterday. “The support on both the mens side and womens side led to the largest ever year of CSA jersey sales,” he added. “The centenary kit sold out of our limited run and we continued that trend on all CSA product through the year.” “Thursday nights launch showed us yet again that with success on the pitch and Umbro Canada continuing to provide new and innovative products, the fans will continue to support,” Shoemaker concluded. BMO, who first moved into the soccer space when the national soccer stadium was developed, also formed a partnership with Canadas first MLS club ahead of Toronto FC beginning play back in 2007. Over barren years for Canadian soccer BMO stayed the course and has continually reinvested in the beautiful game across the nation. The sponsors have provided desperately needed oxygen for the nations grass roots. “As the bank of soccer in Canada, BMO supports all aspects of the Beautiful Game in Canada - from the jerseys of local teams across the country to BMO Field in Toronto,” said Susan Bundy, director of sponsorships at BMO Financial Group told TSN.ca yesterday. “At the national level, BMO has been a proud supporter of the Canadian Soccer Association for more than six years.” Yesterday at BMOs flagship branch in downtown Toronto fans were given opportunity to get up close and personal to their new idols - something altogether rather unimaginable pre-London 2012. Bundy explained: “Fans were able to meet their favourite players, get autographs and take photos in advance of the highly anticipated friendly match between Canada and the U.S.” When BMO first gambled on allocating sponsorship dollars with Canadian soccer back in fall 2006 the business of the sport was rudderless. Over these intervening years we have witnessed many of Canadas best known companies play out the business of soccer as they jostle for space on the pitch. Demand continues to grow. Meanwhile for Sundays match itself and as the configuration process of BMO Field has been completed, the CSA was able to announce on Friday additional seats were now available. Adding to soccers newfound lustre some of those tickets are for seats at premium field-side tables where you will be so close to the action you might be able to hear Abby Wambach count.
