A good Coach knows what pieces he has that will contribute to the growth and protection of the Franchise. While we don’t want to drop our players THIS soon, a good Coach knows what pieces are available that could fit the overall scheme. Your players need a few more games under their belts before you’re able to see the trends. Take advantage of the Celtics, Spurs and Nets injury situations. Be a Coach. Keep careful watch on that wire. I’ll always look for guys to give you who are under 40% ownership.

PERCENTAGES: Yahoo! Sports

Larry Nance Jr. PF LAL-33% Ownership: At the end of the day the Lakers ended up starting Nance and for good reason. Nance showed more growth offensively as he was able to get to the basket easily from one of the more powerful on the ball frontcourts in league (Clippers). In a couple of games, Nance will be going up against the highly skilled Pelicans frontcourt and that will be a true test. Expect a good amount of minutes and because Julius Randle is only good at posting up, Nance (being a bit more dynamic of a Forward) will have a longer leash as a starter. Nance will eventually be able to play more minutes at the Center spot. Remember, Brook Lopez is injury-prone. Nance will help out with inside scoring and rebounding and will also provide consistent help with blocks.

Kelly Oubre Jr. SG/SF WSH-23% Ownership: Seeing Oubre in person on Wednesday and his movement off the ball when on the court proved to me that he’ll lead the Wizards second unit in scoring. Even in games, when John Wall, Bradley Beal and Otto Porter are shooting well, Oubre will still get his piece of the pie when it comes to playing time and shot opportunities. Oubre is balanced on both sides of the ball and is very good at avoiding screens on the defensive side. His perimeter defense is strong and he moves very well on transition and that will benefit him because when the Wizards are transitioning back to the their first unit and are utilizing their speed to keep the pace up, Oubre will be kept in a bit longer to work with Wall in transition. Oubre can hit shots from long range and will be able to find openings against opposing second units.

Trevor Booker PF BKN-39% Ownership: Even though Booker isn’t starting, Timofey Mozgov is and he stinks. Mozgov shouldn’t be playing over 20 minutes per game and Booker will come off the bench and can play minutes at both the Power Forward and Center spot. Booker is very aggressive inside and we can expect a ton of low block scoring and rebounding. Booker is very tough in the lane and will be battling against opposing second units. Booker is much more aggressive inside than Mozgov. Jeremy Lin being out for the season also will have an impact on Booker’s minutes because players like D’Angelo Russell, Allen Crabbe and Caris LeVert will have to play minutes at Guard spots thus needing Rondae Hollis-Jefferson to shift down to SF at times meaning more playing time room for Booker. He’ll be getting a lot of minutes coming off the bench.

Terrence Ross SG/SF ORL 38% Ownership: Ross is starting for now but knows that Jonathon Simmons and even Rookie Jonathan Isaac are coming after his playing time. There will be nights when Ross is finding himself open and will get more shot opportunities. There will be nights where he literally is held in the corner on the perimeter. What was encouraging about Ross’s first game was that he helped out in virtually every standard fantasy basketball category. Ross swiped two balls and blocked one and those defensive stats will keep him playing 30-plus minutes, for now. The six rebounds he got were also very encouraging. The Magic have a lot of shooters. It will be the Guard-Forwards who are committed on defense that will have a longer leash on the court.

John Collins PF/C ATL-29% Ownership: The Hawks are very thing up front and Collins will eventually be leading this team. For now, he’s going to drive and have success in the post. Even though Collins played in 22 minutes his first game, that playing time will increase over the next couple of months. Collins is very dynamic inside the arc and he’ll be a big scoring and rebounding help. All of the reports about Collins scream about just how good his effort is on the court. Collins had two steals in his debut, which is encouraging for defensive statistics and more playing time. Collins will be able to rotate in both the PF and C spots. He’ll run the floor nicely on transition and will be able to be a primary scoring option in the Hawks second unit.

Terry Rozier PG BOS-30% Ownership: It may be too late to pick up Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart, but Rozier is still out there and he’s very familiar with the Celtics offensive scheme and that alone should boost his playing time. With Gordon Hayward out of the mix, his shots will need to be divided among the other guards. Teams are going to start putting more pressure on Brown on the perimeter and you’ll see that Marcus Smart will get the ball more. The problem with that is he’s not the best shooter and when it comes to shot selection, it’s nothing to write home about. This will all benefit Rozier in getting not only more playing time, but also shot opportunities. Rozier has great court awareness. He knows what’s going on around him and when to expect the double team. He keeps the ball moving and will provide help with scoring and assists consistently on the offensive end. On the defensive side, he has six steals in two games thus far and that alone will give him a longer leash. Rozier will run point when the second unit is on the court and will be featured as a scorer during those times.

Danny Green SG/SF SAS-23% Ownership: With Kawhi Leonard out indefinitely, Green will NEED to play 30-plus minutes a night. The Spurs are bringing Rudy Gay off the bench to spare the forwards and Green will need to play a lot of minutes at the SG spot. Green will be getting a lot more love offensively with Leonard out and will benefit most with shot opportunities. LaMarcus Aldridge can shoot from the outside, but the Spurs will need him to attack inside so the defense collapses, thus leaving Green open at the arc. Green is a good perimeter defender and will be a consistent help with steals and will provide inconsistent blocks and rebounding help. Expect a lot of three’s, drives to the basket and steals on the other side of the ball.

Skal Labissiere PF/C SAC-26% Ownership: The Kings Forward situation is a bit in flux at the moment and was a bit surprised that Labissiere ended up starting over Zach Randolph. Last season, we saw flashes of Labissiere’s game improving in the post and paint, but it looks like the Kings are going all-in on him. Randolph was clearly brought in to mentor Labissiere and if Labissiere completes his training, he’ll be able to shoot from all over the court and be a beast on the glass just like Randolph has been. Labissiere playing over 30 minutes is very encouraging and even though it’s just one game, the Kings depth at the PF position is light and they’ll need him to play significant minutes. Labissiere needs to calm down when he gets the ball in the lane. He has to protect the ball upon receiving it so it’s not swiped away. Labissiere can’t look to make too many cross paint passes in traffic and he’ll learn to be more disciplined in the post. He’ll also play some minutes at Center throughout the season.

CJ Miles SG/SF TOR-20% Ownership: Miles was in a major position battle with Norman Powell and Miles ended up losing. Powell is simply more dynamic than Miles. Miles was a waiver wire darling last season coming off the bench for the Pacers and that’s what he’ll be again. Miles will certainly get the most shot opportunities of players coming off the Raptors bench. Miles should be able to secure 20 minutes of playing time. Miles will inconsistently help with rebounds and steals. An injury to the Raptors mid-court will give Miles starts, but he will mainly be a scoring dependant bailout option for the Raptors. Miles is a dependable shooter from the elbow and from beyond the arc and should be able to average double-digits in scoring.

WILD CARD PICK UP: Kyle Anderson SG/SF SAS-2% Ownership: It’ll take multiple players to fill Kawhi Leonard’s shoes while he’s out and Kyle Anderson is the biggest beneficiary when it comes to playing time. Anderson will start while Rudy Gay will be coming off the bench. Last season, Anderson’s scoring and playing time were all over the place. It was encouraging seeing how he did against a beefed up team defensively in the Timberwolves and Anderson was also able to help out on the glass. Keep him on your watch lists. Anderson should be able to score in double figures consistently with Leonard out. Anderson can hit shots from long range and that’ll allow LaMarcus Aldridge to slash inside on more possessions. Watch his shot attempts over his next few games. If Anderson can show consistency on the glass, he’ll get more playing time even when Leonard returns to action.
