Jerryd Bayless (PG/SG, MIL) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stash in Deep Leagues

OWNED IN: 29% of Yahoo! Leagues

ANALYSIS: After missing 11 games because of a bum ankle, Jerryd Bayless was very effective in his return to action on Monday. Bayless put up 19 points and recorded seven assists in 27 minutes of play, outplaying starter Michael Carter-Williams. Unfortunately, he followed up the strong performance with a clunker on Tuesday against the Thunder. In seven less minutes, he only scored eight points and tallied four assists. Needless to say those numbers aren't very good, but there's upside to be had here.

Right now this is a stash move, but better to add Bayless now before he gets back in a groove and someone else picks him up. While MCW almost notched a triple double on Tuesday, there is still a chance Bayless can reclaim the starting job. Until then, Bayless' value will be capped a bit and remain in a timeshare with MCW. He still makes for a solid depth option because he can hit three pointers, and add some assists off the bench for the athletic Bucks.
