BALLER MOVE: Target Around 130 Overall
CURRENT ADP: 142
ANALYSIS: Wright has always been a solid rotational guard in the league and a player you were happy to pick up when injuries happened to players in front of him. Now in Detroit, the veteran guard could find a nice role with Derrick Rose and rookie Killian Hayes in the rotation to get minutes.
His 26 games with Memphis from last season feel like a nice baseline for what we could expect from Wright. He he averaged 30.8 minutes, 12.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.6 steals a game. Now in Detroit, he will play for coach Dwane Casey, who has always liked versatile guards--including Kyle Lowry and Reggie Jackson, who both were good fantasy players in their time with Casey at the helm. That's a plus for Wright's upside.
Wright finished last season with just above 1,500 minutes played through the whole year, although those were more than enough for him to finish as a top-120 player in 2020. Wright was also one of just 11 players (min. 600 minutes played) to finish the year averaging 3+ rebounds, 3+ dimes, and 1+ steal per game while shooting at least .450/.350/.750 from the field/three/free-throw line. Of course, Wright has the lowest ADP among those in that group with the remainder players averaging a quite-high 37 combined ADP.

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.
