Blatche Fantasy worthy?

[ttownport]

It would seem that this guy should up his minutes with Thomas out. Think he's worth a roster spot in a fantasy league? I like his potential but won't see production without minute. I am in a deep league with no quality bigs left. If he becomes center eligable it would be a lot more attractive to add him to my roster. What'cha think?

well with etan thomas not bein there, haywood who dosent want to be there and the coach dosent really want, He has a chance for some decent minutes because he probably be ahead of Oleksiy Pecherov on the depth chart.

It may be a bit risky but there a good chance he can produce, but maybe you could pick up haywood he can provide rebounds and blocks

Thanks for the input. Haywood is taken. The only other options for PF/C are risks as well. The only player on my team that anyone wants to trade for is Billups that I have trouble parting with. The closest offer i have had for Mr. Big Shot is Al. Jefferson. That is a stretch since Chauncy, in my book, is a top pg pick.

Blatche might not be a bad player to have on your bench to start the season and see where he goes.  He's a great passing big man, crashes the boards, and has improved his jump shot, plus he could be a good shot blocker.  A note on Haywood though, he's been playing with a lot of energy in the preseason and seems to have patched things up with Jordan, so Blatche's minutes might not be all that much at the start of the season.  But Blatche does look good.
