BALLER MOVE: Add in Most Leagues

ANALYSIS: Arron Afflalo has yet to play this season, but he could debut as soon as this weekend. He had a down year in 2014-'15, averaging 13.2 points per game between the Nuggets and Trailblazers. However, he had managed at least 14 points per game in each of the previous three seasons. Afflalo also secured his fewest rebounds and assists per game since '08-'09 last season, so a bounce-back year could be in the works. Playing alongside Carmelo Anthony once again should give Afflalo a sense of comfort.
Afflalo should fit nicely into the triangle offense as a wing shooter. Throughout his career, he has shown the ability to score in bunches from anywhere on the floor, but has always particularly excelled from beyond the arc. The Knicks have two young guards in Jerian Grant and Langston Galloway who love to drive the lane, so Afflalo can be used as a spot up shooter. A guy like Afflalo, who should easily put up 15 points per game if healthy, has to be owned in more leagues.
