I'm trying to decide between these three.
Randy Foye, Rudy Gay, Jamal Crawford.
I have no specific need for any specific stats, so just pure fantasy value, who do you think?

Randy Foye seems totally lost and buried on that Minnesota bench.
Rudy Gay has been OK and definitely contributes in the blocks. But he's inconsistent and his playing time only gets worse as Stromile Swift and Pau Gasol come back.
Jamal Crawford is just hurt by New York's overly crowded rotation. If he plays, he's a proven player and he'll be good and rack up loads of points and 3s. But that's if he plays.
If I had to pick one, I'd just roll the dice with Isaiah Thomas' lineup and go with Crawford.

I picked up Crawford since Stevie Franchise is hurt... we'll see how it pans out, but I still kind of want Foye.

Yeah, Crawford's value is pretty much dependent on how much IT wants to stick with his Francis and Marbury experiment. My money's on someone being traded before Xmas.

Gay or Crawford. Both are inconsistent. I voted Gay but I think Crawford will have a little more fantasy value.

No question it's Gay: Foye won't get much burn on a Wolves team sporting shoot-first ballhog guards Mike James and Troy Hudson (plus from what I've seen, Foye isn't NBA-adjusted so far).
Jamal Crawford has to fight with Stephon Marbury, Steve Francis, Nate Robinson, Quentin Richardson and eventually Jared Jeffries for minutes. As much as Isiah Thomas insists on feeding him the ball, he's still a gamble not worth taking.
Rudy Gay is explosively athletic, has an inside-outside game and will get serious burn while Pau Gasol is out. He's a serious candidate to take the Rookie of the Year award.

Foye will get better as the season progresses, he's just in a cold streak right now. He tore up the summer leagues.
Gay will do alright, but I don't think he'll light up the stat sheet quite yet. Memphis offence is pretty boring.
Francis is out for a while, crawford is now starting.
If this is for a backup SG pick I would take crawford, as he can put up big numbers on any given night.

John Salmons also puts up big numbers in the summer leagues... :|

LOL such bias.
Just remember, the summer leagues and preseason are not the same as the regular season.
I can't even remember how many times the media starts gushing about how so-and-so was awesome in the summer and they just go straight back to scoring 3 1/2 pts a game in 9 minutes a game.
Randy Foye has great potential but who knows if he'll adapt it to the NBA game fast enough for it to matter this season.
