Lou

Amundson

“That’s difficult when you want to play and play at a high level and your body just won’t let you,” he said recently. “With the finger and the back, it was a tough season. Obviously I want to stay healthy this year.” Amundson is nothing more than a role player for Golden State, making him a long shot to have fantasy value.

The Pacers cleared the bench tonight and allowed the regulars to get some rest heading into the All-Star break. In other words, ignore this line from Amundson.

X-rays were taken and while the results don’t sound like they’re available, Hibbert is on the floor and we’ll be watching him.

Hansbrough hit 2-of-6 shots and added a steal in 15 minutes. He was marginalized by Lou Amundson (21 points, eight rebounds), which is both an excuse and indictment at the same time. Hansbrough needs to post another productive line before we give him any love.

It seems Amundson will flirt with 20 minutes per game on nights when Jeff Foster’s back keeps him out of action. This situation is only worth monitoring in deep leagues.

It’s always great to hear a player like Amundson get ‘MVP’ chants, but it’s the most recent black eye for a Blazers franchise that claims to be behind embattled coach Nate McMillan. As for Amundson, this is about as fluky as it gets and we’ll need to see much, much more before paying him any attention.

Fesenko will only play if there is an injury to someone along the frontline, and his signing was more of an insurance policy than anything else. This news should not impact your fantasy team.

Without Dwight Howard (back) in the lineup for Orlando, Frank Vogel has been using Lou Amundson as Roy Hibbert’s primary backup. “Right now he’s depth and insurance,” Frank Vogel said.

The Pacers didn’t add a backup big man before the trade deadline, leaving Lou Amundson and Pendergraph as the sole backups behind Roy Hibbert with Jeff Foster (back) remaining out indefinitely. “Jeff is a banger. He knows how to play,” Bird said. Neither Amundson nor Pendergraph are on the fantasy radar.

“Going into this knowing the emphasis he’s going to put on defense, that’s something I really believe in,” Amundson said. He’ll come off the bench and isn’t likely to help fantasy owners in a limited role, though his per-minute block totals are impressive (0.8 blocks in 13 minutes per game).
