The Lowry Era is Over

Hosen drop lowry for C. J. Watson

We discussed Lowry rather recently, and indeed the Hosen have dropped him after his disappointing 7/0/3 (15 minute) game on Friday. It's not like Conley was all that good, so I think Lowry's outlook is the same as it was a few days back.

C.J. Watson has been embroiled in the GSW PG mess all season, but notably got his first start on Friday, and played 40 minutes for the second straight game. He produced, too, with a 9/8/8 line. He played very limited minutes last year, so it's tough to know what he can do - though it seems he's more a scorer than a ballhandler. Early season starter PG DeMarcus Nelson seems to have disappeared altogether, and preseason sleeper (and UConn Huskie!) Marcus Williams has not yet arrived. There are probably more shots and minutes available to second-stringer's these days, given that C-Maggs and Baby Al have been out. There's the chance that Al could get traded for a 'real' PG, but until then, C.J. looks like he'll get minutes.

Judgment: Worth a flier, though Lowry is too - I've always been frustrated by marginal Golden State players and their wildly fluctuating production under Don Nelson - but the uptempo action can be a fantasy goldmine.
