Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (SF, CHA) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues

OWNED IN: 38% Yahoo!

ANALYSIS: After missing the first three games of the season due to a personal issue, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist stumbled out of the gate in his season debut, hitting just one of his six shot attempts for two points across 11 minutes. However, he appears to have found a rhythm over the last two games, totaling 20 points on 9-for-9 shooting with 10 rebounds in that span. While that kind of efficiency obviously won’t hold up, the former No. 2 overall pick should continue to benefit from the absence of Nicolas Batum. Kidd-Gilchrist makes for solid wing depth in all but the shallowest of fantasy leagues.
