Richaun Holmes - PHI - F

yeah just thought Okafor put up a terrible line and also played under 20 mins?

Foul trouble and Okafor played

What happened with Holmes? Did he get into foul trouble? Need to make a decision on holding him through last 4 days of my semi final.

What a huge first game from him in the semis for me today, keep it rolling baby!!

Rich Homie!

Playoffs start March 27 for 2 weeks. Holmes (Up) or Allan Williams (Down)

Holmes Should have been owned in deeper format since the embiid shutdown rumour. I can see adding him for the 4 game next week since its the playoffs

Okafor's down. Pick this fella up!

doesn't matter whether he starts - he gets around same minutes if coming off bench

Think he will continue to start? Thinking of picking him up

Holmes or zubac? Looking for boards and blocks

Can't answer that as it depends on team needs...two totally different players.

Drop Wes Matthews for this kid?

so much better vs. Okafor and not even close.

Drop Holmes for Chriss?

Richaun Holmes (UP) or Ian Mahinmi (Down) looking for boards and blocks for ROS

there will be more blowouts...this team is night vs day w/o Embiid

Ok is soft = Eddie Curry. Holmes per 36 are better and will get minutes.

What Kyle said, Oak didn't come back in the 4th per normal rotations as game was over already.

It was a blowout, so most of the starters played fewer minutes.

played more minutes vs. Okafor today despite no foul trouble...good sign

KOQ (up), Holmes (down) ROS?

Considering Okafor is now one sixers medical staff evaluation away from being out for the season, i would def go ahead and add this guy...

I'd temper expectations for Holmes based off the two big games he had. Okafor got into foul trouble in both of those games, and the Sixers are going to want to try and build up Okafor's trade value leading into the draft.

Add over JoVal or Favors?

Must add now that Embiid is out?

Well...not second round production haha, but mid-late round I think seems pretty safe

I made that same move yesterday, dropped Zeller for him. I think relying on projections and what SHOULD happen aren't always recipe's for success. My gut tells me Holmes get's more run as he's had to impressed coaches thus far. I think at worst he sustains his current production moving forward

I actually am debating the same and thinking nod to zeller as the team has struggled mightily without him but even a few minutes at his expense for frank could be a big dent to his value

Holmes(UP) C.Zeller(Down) Common sense tells me Zeller but Kaminsky played well enough to get meaningful minutes so Zeller ceiling may be lower than usual, while Holmes looks to be the 2nd best big in Philly and trending up

His Per 36 Block rate is 2+ this year and last year. This year 15/9 2.2 blks, last year 15/7 2.1 blks. He's improved his rebounding a bit. I don't see him getting 36 MPG obviously but he is a good player who is fantasy friendly and isn't super foul prone. He could pull of 25 MPG the rest of the season and I could see him averaging 11/7 1.6 blks 50+FG%. Well worth an add in 12-14 team leagues and possibly even standard leagues if Embiid is out for 2+ weeks.

if Embiid shut down I think this guy's worth a spec add...Okafor's putrid on defense

His per-36s are good but probably not good enough to make him must-own coming off the bench. HOWEVER, there's also the popular counterpoint "Okafor sucks". Not impossible that Holmes ends up starting a bit this season.

Holmes (up) or Mason Plumee (down) ?

I like him but recent rank is buoyed by minuscule TO and unsustainable block rate. Don't see him has being standard league relevant.

He's crushing it in limited minutes though since the break. So maybe he only needs 20 mpg to be standard league relevant?

Embiid has NOT been ruled out for the season yet. We should know more about Embiid's situation in the next day or so as his MRI results are released. IF Embiid is out the rest of the way, Okafor will continue to start at center and play about 28 mpg while Holmes is stuck with the leftover 20-or-so minutes every night at the center position. It's unlikely we see the Sixers give Holmes enough run at PF to make him a standard league option. Deeper leagues, you should only expect Homles to finish out the season averaging somewhere between 20-24 mpg.

Does his latest projection reflect the probability that Embiid is done for the year?

Is he worth a pickup now with the latest Embiid report?

ROS: Holmes (up) or Len (down)?

ROS: WCS (up) or Holmes (down)

ROS: holmes (up) or o'quinn (down)? 12 team h2h

If Embiid isn't coming back anytime soon, will Holmes (UP) or Chriss (DOWN) have more value RoS?

Holmes (up) or RHJ (down)?

10 team streamer with Embiid swelling and MRI pending?

Understood, thanks.

Because that's assuming Embiid is back and Holmes goes back to third string and may not play, especially if they play Covington and Anderson as the backup PF

Why only 3 games projected for him next week? Philly plays 4 games.

Noel and Illy going has to be really big for his minutes at the 4. Embiid (when fit) and Okafor play the 5 and Saric and Holmes play the 4. He's going to see an uptick in mins surely.

I would think okafor is less likely to be traded now. Doesn't mean he won't be traded tough

now with Noel traded is it likely that Oakfor be traded as well?

Thanks gehrenberg! Will run to pick up Holmes if Okafor is traded.

I wouldn't run to pick up Holmes unless Okafor is also traded. I think better options are going to become available on the wire today

Worth a look with Noel gone? And possibly Okafor as well?

Holmes is pretty good is he just trapped in a bad situation?

He plays big minutes when Embiid rests, so when Noel and Simmons returns it's going to be even harder for him to find playing time. He can be a fantasy beast but there is no path to consistent minutes

Does anyone who follows PHI have an idea if he has a path to consistent min (ie 20-25? His number would be a good fit with my team but his min have been all over the place.

All of the RotoGrinders sharps are running this guy in the full slate cash games on FanDuel tonight. Interesting play.

Noel is out 3-5 weeks. Seems like an opening for minutes is there now?

Holmes has been averaging good minutes and numbers in the preseason - any chance he can keep this up in the regular season?
