Matt Janning signed with Lokomotiv Kuban a few weeks ago and is going to make his debut in the Euroleague this week. His selection in fantasy can help your team take off.
Georgios Bartzokas chose to add yet another quality player along the perimeter of the Russian team and Matt Janning has the talent offensively to offer solutions to Lokomotiv Kuban as well as your teams in Euroleague fantasy. In his first games in the VTB League, the American shooter has had a confident start with a ranking of 18 and 12 points against Krasny Oktyabr, a ranking of 19 and 15 points in the easy win over Bisons, and a ranking of 24 and 18 points in the record win over Vita.
Janning’s cost is very small (40) and his acquisition is highly recommended. His transfer may affect Malcolm Delaney’s participation time and efforts. For now, it looks like this isn’t going to happen to such an extended degree as to urge us to sell the player from our roster.
Shved has been having several ups and downs recently and ahead of the game with CSKA we’re going to let him go in order to get extra credits. Cedi Osman has been having several ups and downs as well and is going to depart from the team in order to acquire Vassilis Spanoulis, who costs just 32,3 credits and who can make the difference for Olympiacos in the crucial second round of the Top 16.
The last change concerns the point guard line. Jamon Gordon has been having several ups and downs and with the extra credits that the Eurohoops Team has, the hot – as of late – Tyrese Rice can be brought. Khimki’s American guard is excellent in terms of creation and execution and his price is expected to rise even further.
A lot is going to be decided in the first few weeks of the second round from the selection of newly entering players to the Euroleague. Aside from Janning, Panathinaikos’s Elliot Williams also looks like a good option due to the high number of attempts that Zalgiris’s Jerome Randle is expected to get.
