Lasme

Lasme actually started a few games for the Heat in 2008, but we may never see him again in the NBA.

No fantasy value here.

Lasme should be able to run with the Warriors and is a good shot blocker. However, he’s not likely to see many minutes next season.

The Warriors drafted Lasme 46th overall in June’s draft after he spent four years at the University of Massachusetts. A knee injury in the summer league left doubts as to whether Lasme would make the team or not, but a spot opened up when they bought out Adonal Foyle’s contract. “I was thinking about it a little bit, but I wasn’t too nervous,” Lasme said. “I was nervous when I got hurt in summer league. But I figured if they liked me, they’d keep me.” His job will be to rebound and run the floor, so don’t look for him to offer fantasy value this season.

The rookie suffered the injury while trying to block a shot by the Lakers’ Vladimir Radmanovic in Thursday’s exhibition game.

Lasme had no shot at fantasy value in the swingman-rich Warriors lineup, so this shouldn’t matter much.

He averaged 5.2 points and even started a few games. But then again, it seems like several guys you’ve never heard of started for the Heat at one time or another last year.

Lasme was a second-round pick last summer that has spent much of this season in the D-League. It seems unlikely that he would have fantasy value down the stretch, but Shawn Marion (back) is questionable tonight and the team is desperate for healthy players. Lasme averaged 7.5 boards and 2.6 blocks per game in the NBADL, so watch how much he plays tonight.

He had 11 points and seven boards, while Lasme had nine points, nine boards and two blocks in another loss. Meanwhile, Barron exploded to hit 9-of-13 shots for 22 points and three boards off the bench. All three guys probably have some fantasy value, but good luck on figuring out which one on which night.

Each got minutes off the bench tonight, but neither has shown any fantasy potential.
