stay_woke 1,097 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 When he first got injured I was concerned that they would take him really slow, lots of rest, etc. But with the Nets actually being in the playoff picture I would say there's a chance that he is back to full speed by the end of the season to prepare for the playoffs. Either way not expecting much but the Nets winning definitely has me feeling more optimistic than before. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm a bit conflicted without hearing any solid reports or timelines, but I feel some news could drop at any given time that he's ramping up for a return. Yeah, wish we knew at least what sort of activities he's doing. The Nets are keeping completely quiet, zero status updates. Based on my understanding though, mid-to-late Jan would've been a reasonable return date for an ankle dislocation. I picked him up a couple weeks ago with that hope. Blegh.

I think you'll start to hear more noise towards the end of the month and then we can expect him back after the break. Link to post Share on other sites

Add at your own risk, the Nets haven’t disclosed s--- about Levert since his injury, so it’s hard to tell how close he is. Maybe they’ll give an update now that he’s actually spotted at shootaround. Plus we don’t know how he’ll be eased in or how he’ll perform. If you’re doing well in the standings and can afford a player to drop, maybe pick him up. Link to post Share on other sites
HelloMelo 74 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Dont the BKN Nets have a bad fantasy playoff sched as well? Link to post Share on other sites
claptondecheeks 642 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Nice. Can't wait for him to return, mostly to rub it in my friend's face bc he dropped him like 2 weeks ago but kept Dwight Howard instead lol. What do you guys expect from him when he gets back and returns to form? Excluding his last 2 games (a blowout vs GSW where he only played 20 min and the game in which he got injured, where he only played 16 min), he was averaging 20.3 PTS (1.6 3s), 4.4 REB, 4 AST, 1.4 STL, .4 BLK, and 2.3 TOV (only 11 games). That's good for 50-55ish in PPGs in my league. I think those numbers will decrease significantly even when after he's re-acclimated and playing full minutes. Dinwiddie and Russell have really upped their game, Carroll is now healthy, and Kurucs has emerged as a good bench player. Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn’t mention that he’s not ranked top 30 on here though otherwise they chuck a lil hissy fit. Good player in real though. Hopefully he makes a full recovery which he should.

In my league he's ranked 70th by season average. Consider that he only played 12 games and that 2 of those games were atypical (scored 4 against nyk, played 20 min against GSW in a blowout loss), plus he was injured in a 3rd. If you go by the other 9 games, he's prob top 50 in my league. That's probably closer to what he could've been. Link to post Share on other sites

If we exclude his injury-struck game and the just prior GSW blowout where the starters played 20ish minutes, he's ends up being #47 in standard 9-cat. Uncertain he'll produce top 50 rest of season, but still excited that I picked him up! Link to post Share on other sites

He couldn't run on a busted ankle so his conditioning is worse than if he was running from say an elbow injury. Link to post Share on other sites

nadertime78 76 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 My only issue is its the Nets. Crabbe seems to be close to a return for like a month or more now. Im guessing in 4 to 5 weeks we see him which is a long hold for some. Link to post Share on other sites

Doesn't leave much time to get it going. I think the Nets will priortise bringing him along slowly with a view to having him up to speed for the NBA playoffs. Maybe they bring him back a little sooner if a top 8 seed is in the balance. I'm not sure there is much fantasy value to be extracted here this season.

RCRanger03 608 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 a post ASB return would be fine with me, especially if over the next month he was ramping up conditioning and 5 on 5 praticing Link to post Share on other sites
