Cory Joseph (PG, DET): Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues

ROSTERED IN: 7% of leagues

ANALYSIS: I'm writing this post six games into Cory Joseph's tenure as a Piston. If you remember, Detroit traded for Joseph a couple of weeks ago in exchange for Delon Wright. Not a move to swing the path of either Detroit's or Sacramento's seasons, but one that has seen Joseph raise his fantasy value and Wright lose all of his fantasy appeal. Cold world, Delon.

It took Cory a little bit of time to get a good grip of Detroit's guard positions, but he's already there and putting on nightly gems--for what he's worth, don't get overly excited. For someone rostered in just 7% of Yahoo leagues, the average outcome Joseph is handing his GMs these days is absolutely fantastic. As simple as that. His first two games saw him play just below 22 minutes, and he was actually bad with a combined 11-5-5-1 line and shooting a stupid 17% from the floor. Since then, in the four games from Mar. 27 to Apr. 1 he's leveled up a ton.

Joseph has gone from being an afterthought in Sacramento 15 FP/G to becoming an off-the-pine weapon in Detroit dropping 30 FP/G that in the last four games are translating to an average 11-3-6-2 line. Compare that average with the combined line I included in the paragraph above, and you'll quickly spot the difference. Joseph has topped 29 FP in his last three games, scored 10+ in all of those matches, dished out 5+ assists, and stole 2+ rocks while shooting 54% from the floor on a kinda-healthy 8 FGA diet. The free-throws are insanely great with 23-of-26 makes in his last eight games, and the minutes are up at 27 per night in the past week. The rostership makes no sense, so take advantage before GMs catch up to Cory's exploits.

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... Read More

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.
