ANALYSIS: Fantasy implications of the DeMarcus Cousins trade have been pretty huge. With Tyreke Evans, Langston Galloway and Buddy Hield all gone, the wings have really opened up in New Orleans for Solomon Hill and E’Twaun Moore. Hill has already been averaging 28 minutes per game, and that number is very likely to rise in the new situation. He is only scoring 6.7 points per game with 3.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 0.9 steals, and the arrival of Cousins could means most of the shot attempts will go to the Pelicans’ new big three. Still, Hill has never been a "create his own shot" kind of player, and his catch and shoot style will fit well with the defensive attention that the Pelicans' new Twin Towers will attract. With a boost in minutes, Hill could creep into deep-league fantasy relevancy.
