Hey guys I'm in a roto points league on yahoo, and been a bit disappointed with L Stephenson.
Do you think his current slump is temporary or worth dropping him for a FA available such as Korver? I've made some offers to other managers in our league before yesterday's game but no biters.
Thank you!

Ok so let me start off by saying I am a Hornets fan. That being said when it was announced that Lance was acquired by the Buzz back in mid-July I was pretty disappointed. My friends (also Hornets fans) and I had multiple conversation/arguments about this guy and I was the only one of us who was disappointed in the pickup.
I thought he would help improve the team (and I still think he will) but I really don't think he was a good fit for the Hornets and that there were better options out there. Stephenson was the textbook example of a product of the system he was in, being on a squad with Paul George, George Hill, David West and Roy Hibbert. Now he is on a team where none of his teammates can compare to PGeorge and the only other threats teams have to worry about are Big Al and Kemba. That means when teams are preparing to play the Hornets they can focus almost solely on Jefferson and Lance, because Kemba has been painfully inconsistent thus far in his NBA career
His stats may improve slightly, but do not expect the output from his Indy days
Thanks a lot for the details, considering this and the fact that Korver is available I think I'm going to drop him.
His percentages are down. He is only scoring around 4 points less this year than last. His assist and rebounds are up though. I would think his shooting will get better.
Drop him for Korver ASAP.
Lance is fun to watch and is a nightly triple double threat. However, he doesn't score that much relative to how many shots he takes.
His negatives really outweigh the positives. Low FG%, Low FT%, high turnovers, and not many 3's, steals, or blocks.
He's a supercharged drag car racing in Laguna Seca.
Yeah I did, thanks man! He's really inconsistent
I drafted him in 2 leagues because he is still really talented and thought he had a great opportunity to break out.
I was wrong and I still have him in 1 league. Managed to package him in a trade in the other.
He still may have that chance to breakout, but the small sample size so far is enough for me to jump ship on him right now and don't have the patience to wait for him
KORVER IS AVAILABLE??? definitely drop
Yeah I'm with this dude. What the hell is Korver doing on the WW ? Go get that man.
Awesome, thanks for the tip! First fantasy league I play in so I'm a bit slow
