The Cool Down

     Week 2 in the NBA is typically the cool down week.  We saw the likes of MCW, Miles Plumlee, and Vitor Faverani post massive lines in the first few games.  This week however, they are starting too put up more realistic lines.  I call this the waiting period.  Some players when the dust clears are worth owning.  Others will hurt your team in categories that you need.  Michael Carter-Williams look like the next coming of Derron Williams, having games shooting 50% from the field and a lot steals.  He came down to earth against Golden State scoring 18 points on 23% shooting (that'll put a dent in your FG% for the week).  In my opinion, he is going into carry mode and that will hurt his future more than help it.  Miles Plumlee is still worth owning in deeper leagues because he has a higher ceiling than most of the other FA bigs remaining.  Vitor is going to be more inconsistent than a satellite dish in a monsoon.  There are a few players that are for real this season.  And you better hope you drafted them.  The nugget for the day is buy-low or sell-high on DeMarcus Cousins.  He has always been half on the bench, half in the game.
