Amar'e Stoudemire (PF/C, MIA) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues

OWNED IN: 9% of Yahoo! Leagues

ANALYSIS: Amar'e Stoudemire has been showing flashes of his former All-Star caliber self. He has three consecutive double-digit scoring outputs and two straight double-doubles. Make no mistake, the Stoudemire from the Phoenix Suns isn't coming back. While Hassan Whiteside gets healthy though, it's nice to watch Stoudemire tap into the last bit of basketball he has left in his body.

The Heat are struggling mightily with injuries, so they are going to give Stoudemire every chance to continue to produce until they are back at full strength. He has played over twenty minutes the last five games and is averaging 1.2 steals and .8 blocks per game. He's really a deep league add at this point in his career, and is more of an add if you just desperately need some rebounding. Adding him for the sake of nostalgia is also acceptable, but he's definitely not someone you want to rely on.
