Ryan Gomes vs Andris Biedrins (So far this season)

Gomes9.8 PPG7.2 RPG2.6 APGBiedrins8.5 PPG8.7 RPG0.7 APGim undecided on who I should keep on my fantasy team..who would you say is going to have a better year?

 

Biedrins. He isa n excellent rebounder, and he has good touch downlow. He's going to get you those digits all year.

 

Forgot to mention their blocking numbers (unless your league doesn't have blocks), Biedrins kills Gomes there. So yeah, definitely go with Biedrins.

 

yeah I forgot..I just checked their main stats on NBA.com info pages

Triple double against the Bobcats earlier on, he had 22 and 14 last night against the Knicks, I'd take Gomes, but I've been a Gomes fan since his sophomore year at Providence so I'm a little biast.

 

Biedrins consistently can grab 12 boards when he gets more than 30 minutes and will give you 3 blocks with those minutes.

 

Once Ike comes back from the injured reserve Biedrin's minutes will decrease and so will his stats. Gomes is proven while Biedrins still has to compete with Troy Murphy and Ike for playing time. Biedrins is just on fire the first few weeks of the season but he'll cool down once everyone comes back healthy and takes chunks of his playing time away from him.Gomes>Biedrins

 

where's the loyalty? GOMES BABY! haha, really, I don't know, but right now Gomes is playing in a thin frontcourt, whereas biedrins has murphy, o'bryant, foyle to fight with for minutes. Gomes has.. Scabs and Powe.

 

haha I know im not having loyalty but gomes isn't consistenthe'll have like 2 points and 3 rebounds one night then he'll explode for a double double or a triple double the next

 

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>he'll have like 2 points and 3 rebounds one night then he'll explode for a double double or a triple double the next</div>that also has a lot to do with our "genius" coach and his rotations

 

I think Gomes is all-around a better player, and a lot of the good things he does don't show up on the stat sheet. He can post up, knock down a 20 footer, attack the bucket, set picks, and play defense just as good as the next guy.If I were chosing for a NBA team I'd probably take Gomes, but for Fantasy definitely Biedrins.Luckily, both are on my team.

I don't have Biedrins in that league.. haha. I'm going to beat you anyways so it doesn't matter I dont need him.

 

oh, geez. I clicked on your team's tab, but I was still looking at my team and I saw biedrins. I dominated the regular season of my league last year by over 20 games, but I still lost in the second round of the playoffs, mainly because so many of my guys suddenly got injured.

Just saying, O'Bryant is a project and he's getting a couple minutes here and there, with DNP's (like Gerald Green last year). They are trying to buy out Foyle. Murphy is hurt. Diogu is hurt. And are you completely forgetting about Al Jefferson?

I don't know, man, it's real close. I will probably pick Biedrins for now because of his shot blocking, athleticism, ability to run for a center, and his rebounding. Gomes rebounds well too, he's extremely heady, but a young center like Biedrins is hard to come by. I love Gomes of course, I really like Biedrins and his development. It's very close, but I think I'm going to give Biedrins the very small edge due to his shot blocking, athleticism, and ability to run the floor.

Murphy is still out, I believe. He didn't play the other night when I watched them.

Yeah, Al is out right now. But he'll be back within a week, so Gomes has a lot more to compete with than Scal and Powe. I just don't understand how he went unmentioned.

Murphy plays primarily PF with Biedrins in and will get maybe 10 minutes at C a night, that's when Biedrins sits. Diogu is way too small to play C, he will see maybe 20 or so minutes at PF, with maybe 5 a night at C. Biedrins is way too vital to our team to sit just for Murphy and Ike.

He's a power forward and only a power forward. Biedrins is a center and only a center. The only thing Ike does to decrease AB's minutes is indirectly by Taking PF minutes from Murph which then makes murph have to play center. Trust me though, Ike is my favorite player but he doesn't fit into our system, he won't effect biedrins that much.And after today AB is averaging 11.2 points, 10.1 rbs, and 2.87 blocks. In fantasy he's blowing gomes out of the water. Maybe not in real life, but in fantasy hoops he is.

 

For your fantasy team, I would definitely stick with Biedrens. Their PPG and RPG are very similar, but blocks are a stat in fantasy that is hard to find. When you have a guy that can get you 3 blocks a night(about 9-12 a week) you have to hold on to him.
