Earl Clark vs Al Farouq Aminu

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

   I need to upgrade my rebounding and have 1 or 2 "soft" roster spots.  With Amir Johnson getting jerked around in Toronto, and their bigs almost ready to come back, I probably need to drop him.  

Earl Clark has been named the starting PF in LA. Since he started getting playing time, he is avg 9.9 RPG and has not had less than 7.  He also has 11 BLK in 8 G and hits the occasional 3 pointer.

Al Farouq Aminu appears to be back in good graces in NO.  Over his last 10 games he is averaging 10.3 RPG and 1.6 SPG

Who would you prefer?  And would you rate them both ahead of Matt Barnes, who is my other soft roster spot at the moment.

	With soft roster spots, you should go with whoever is hot. Players like Amir Johnson will still be available on the waiver wire if your new player doesn't cut it. I'd pick up Aminu over Clark, but that is just personal preference. Clark had some of his stats while Pau Gasol was out. Aminu will continue to start and get minutes for the Hornets.
