BALLER MOVE: Target Around 65 Overall
CURRENT ADP: 88
ANALYSIS: I was one of the fantasy GMs with plenty of Julius Randle shares last season. I can't complain, but I must also say that Randle was frustrating at times, even more on DFS contests than in re-draft leagues. Why? Because of consistency issues, and a pretty bouncy set of outcomes from one day to the next one.
As I said, though, Randle is a must-have player in season-long leagues as his overall numbers through the year were much better than his current ADP suggests. Randle should be more of a fifth/sixth-rounder rather than seventh/eight-rounder as fantasy GMs are making him these days. Randle was the 15th-best player among all eligible at PF and C thanks to scoring 2,449 total FP through the season (38.3 FPPG average).
Randle is more than durable. He played 64 games, averaged 32.5 mpg, and he finished with a 38.3 FPPG mark. Only nine players were able to do that in 2020. If we factor in his 19.5 ppg and 9.7 rpg, that list gets down to... two players: Nikola Vucevic and Randle. While Randle shooting might scare you off (the fg% is a little low for a PF/C), the truth is that Randle stretches the floor and attempted 3.6 3pa last year: only 18 players with PF/C eligibility did so, and Randle averaged the 6th-most FP/min among those at 1.18 per minute.

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 24: Isaac Okoro, Kris Dunn, Josh Richardson, Corey Kispert, Delon Wright
The deeper a fantasy basketball league, the harder it is to hit a winner with your last few picks. It is also harder to find decent help from the waiver wire if your late-round picks don't do you justice. If you picked up a few stinkers, don't lose hope just yet. I will try to […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 16% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Hawks are currently the 10th seed in the East but are also tied for 8th and 9th with Brooklyn and Charlotte respectively.

Immanuel Quickley (PG, NYK): Week 24 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 48% of leagues ANALYSIS: If we use common basketball sense, then the New York Knicks and Coach Thibs should try and see what the young guys such as Immanuel Quickley have in them and what they can provide the franchise with ROS, as the NYK are […]
Deni Avdija (SG/SF, WAS): Week 24 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 37% of leagues ANALYSIS: One would reasonably think that a player seeing a playing-time boost such as that of Deni Avdija's this month would make said player drop his efficiency numbers. Well, not the case for the Wiz Wing by the looks of it. Avdija has […]
