Redd is easily the best player on his team and puts up the flashy numbers while AK is the defensive monster. I think both will continue to be about where they are. But here is my advice...if you're solid at SG/SF with guys who can hit 3's and have decent percentages, but weak on defensive categories, then this is the trade for you. Otherwise, I think that Redd has the best opportunity to continue playing at this level, as you never know if AK47 and Sloan will feud again, as well as AK has a less defined role in the Utah system. His assists this year have been a bit surprising. I think AK is more exciting to own due to this unique stat line, but realize that he is high-risk and there's a reason Redd went 2-3 rounds earlier. Also, is "Davis" Baron or Ricky...makes a difference. Looking at your roster you seem to have guys who hit 3's and your bigs (Harrington, Miller) won't get you blocks where AK could help. Realize that Redd helps a lot in FT%, which is probably a bit weak for you since you have guys that are struggling like J-Rich. I think this trade would balance out your roster a bit, but AK does make me cringe a bit. I'd rather give up JJ or Richardson...perhaps a 2-for-2 or 2-for-1 deal to get AK back.

The only issue is Indiana does have more depth at SG/SF with Daniels and Rush, though neither will unseat Dunleavy for the starter. It really matters about if it makes your team more well rounded.

He likes the 3 and uptempo offense. If you have depth at C, id say try it. Theres no reason to think dunleavy wont continue to produce, his #'s this season arent that spectacular, his TOs are down this season though id rather have dunleavy. jim obrien is the coach in indy and from what ive read, hes a players coach.

Seems like he is exploding just now. I picked him up quick and like him to become a starting F in fantasy.

Calderon is an obvious example, and he's proven it several times with TJ Ford out. Both David Lee and Walter Hermann showed what they could do last year, but neither are getting the PT they need right now. It's frustrating, but I would include all of them to the list of players I mentioned. Unfortunately, with me traveling I haven't been keeping up on as many teams, but obviously all of these guys have the potential to put up good value. Pretty much everyone mentioned is true.
