Flip Flipped!

Hosen drop flip for herrmann - get handsomer

Flip Murray, the pride of Shaw University, has long been a borderline fantasy asset in our format. Many of us have sweet sweet memories of November, 2003, when Flip went off for something like 23PPG with 4 rebs and 5 assists (or so). He still shows flashes of those days, and had quite a productive spring, though his assist and rebound rate is generally down. He should have a 15-20 min/game role in ATL unless Bibby goes down, and score around 8 a game.

Walter Herrmann, on the other hand, is a gloriously pulchritudinous big man with a sweet 3 point stroke. No one knows what his role will be with the Pistons - he was traded there for Nazr last year I believe, and basically disappeared. But on Saturday he exploded for 16/7/4 with 3 3s - hence the pickup.

Judgment: unless Murray goes on some crazy streak of 20 point games in the next few days, the Hosen won't regret this, and Herrmann has impressive upside (see his April 2007 numbers - 20/6. 3 3s). Nice (and nice looking) pickup!
