Langston Galloway (PG/SG, NYK) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add for PTS and 3PM

OWNED: 46% of Yahoo! Leagues

ANALYSIS: You can pretty much just read what I wrote about Rodney Hood. Langston Galloway, like Hood, will help you in 3PM and PTS, and also chip in some rebounds and assists. And just like Hood, he might run into some playing time issues depending on how guys like Jerian Grant, Arron Afflalo, and Jose Calderon play.

Night to night Galloway will get you more consistent assists as he has the ball in his hands a lot more than Hood, but as I mentioned before, he might have a larger issue with consistent playing time when Afflalo comes back from injury in the near future.

Guys like Galloway are great to round out your roster, and as we saw last year, he is definitely someone capable of flirting with a triple-double if he gets ample playing time. He has a decent floor and a high ceiling in multiple categories which is nice to have in your back pocket heading into a close weekend.

Bottom Line: For now, I would definitely snag Galloway if there’s a guy you drafted who hasn’t panned out yet. He’ll contribute in multiple categories nightly and, until Afflalo comes back, he will definitely see significant time as backup at both SG and PG. Just keep an eye on his playing time, and more specifically the production of Jerian Grant.
