BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 36% of leagues
ANALYSIS: A lot of rumblings a few weeks back talking about the Memphis Grizzlies being sellers at this deadline turned out to be pure smoke. I mean, it could have made sense given Memphis has a freaking ton of players in a rotation that should get thinner come playoffs time, but the Grizzlies didn't want to screw chemistry up and retained all pieces, expirings and all. That means that, at least for the remainder of the season, we know what is on tap for Brandon Clarke: a bunch of minutes off the pine and marvelous per-minute production.
Clarke has been more than just an efficient player. He's been one of the best per-minute assets in fantasy leagues over the full season posting up a 1.13 FP/min figure in his 43 games played this year. That, just for context, is within +/- 0.03 points of the likes of Jarrett Allen, FVV, Brad Beal, Bobby Portis, Jrue Holiday, Ingram, Middleton, or JJJ just to name a few. Clarke has averaged a solid 11-6-2 with a block per game in the past couple of weeks (six games), and he's falling below the 10-point mark just once in that span (against Philly, only 13 MP).
The rebounds (5+ RPG this year, 6.5 RPG in the past six games) can't get higher for someone logging a low 19 MPG over the season and only a slightly bulkier 22 MPG in 2022 alone. Nice scoring numbers on stupid usage rate? Check. Barely existent turnovers? Double-check. Phenomenal shooting splits, bouncy steals, and fantastic block numbers (1 BPG on the year, 1.3 from Jan. 3 on)? Triple check. Grab some shares.
