Anfernee Simons (PG/SG, POR): Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues

ROSTERED IN: 32% of leagues

ANALYSIS: Just when you thought there could be no more noise surrounding Damian Lillard--and Portland by extension--the point guard went on and kicked the year off wildly underperforming to date. The trade rumors will never stop, obviously, but now that Lillard is also putting on bad-after-bad performances, the headlines have maximized their growth. And that's why you are getting lost in a mess and missing on the true breakout player of the Blazers: Anfernee Simons.

One of the latest prep-to-pro guys to make it to the Association, Simons is truly having a marvelous year nine games through Friday. Simmons is, understandably, playing a backup role to Dame/McCollum and getting his average 23 MPG off the pine this season. Not that he's needing much more to thrive on the court: Simons is putting up an average 11-2-2 line that might feel low for the minutes, but that comes packed with goodies if you look under the hood.

Simons has scored at least one three-point shot each and every game so far this season. He's scored 4+ of them in four games, and 5 in two of those four. All of that while keeping up a fantastic 52.1% field-goal percentage on--no joke--10.7 FGA. Of course, Simons is the only player attempting as many field goals and hitting them at such a high clip while playing fewer than 27 MPG. The only guards/wings doing something similar (although on many more minutes and heavier roles): Norman Powell and Seth Curry. That's it. That's Simons--somehow a 32% rostership player--for you. If you're not rushing to your WW at this very moment, I'm sorry to inform you that you're missing out big time on a massive addition to your roster.

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: 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 […]
