BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 13% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Would you guess who these two players are? Player A: 17 MPG, 7-2-1 per-game line, 19% USG. Player B: 29 MPG, 14-2-2-1 per-game line, 23% USG. Welp, that's the very same Tre Mann, only splitting his season in two stints before and after Jan. 28. Mann has started 12 of 13 OKC games in the past month of play, and although the bulky minutes and larger role hurt his efficiency, Mann has been fantastic in his past four outings while logging 31+ minutes in all of those.
Mann started a couple of games earlier in the season (Dec. 1/2) but he's been the main SG of the Thunder with SGA missing time. With SGA and Giddey back and available, odds are Mann hits the pine and sees a downtick in playing time. That said, you know what OKC did last season with SGA--send him home and shut him down--during the last weeks of the season to boost the tank. Don't rule that out, and if that happens again, well, then lose no time and go add Tre Mann.
There was a very indigestible shooting slump for Mann for six games in early February (21.2%) but he seems to have fixed it now with four games straight hitting 38.5% or more of his shots for an average of 48% from the field while shooting more field goals than ever (16+ FGA per game in those four including two after the break). Mann has tons of points in him, can hit the three, and contributes reasonable rebounds/dimes with impressive steal numbers (1.3 SPG from Jan. 28 on). He's also cut down his turnovers to fewer than 0.2 in the last six games after averaging 0.8 over the full season and 1.2 as a starter.
