BALLER MOVE: Target Around 100 Overall
CURRENT ADP: 120
ANALYSIS: Dennis Schroder might have thought of Chris Paul as a threat to his playing time and outcomes when CP3 came to OKC last season, but the reality was far from that. Playing off the pine, Schroder thrived leading a second Thunder unit he was tasked with taken care of. Dennis Schroder finished 2020 playing a more than palatable 30.8 mpg while averaging 19-3-4 lines per game, and in fantasy terms, 31 FPPG. Not bad for a reserve, is it?
Schroder is entering the next era of his career, now part of the reigning champions LA Lakers. The latest news concerning Schreader and his potential starting role is all whispers and rumors floating in the air. There is no clarity about where and when the Lake Show will use him. Even in the worst of cases--another sixth-man season--, Schroder shouldn't be getting drafted as late as he's getting off draft boards this offseason.
Schroder efficiency was great last year, posting up .469/.385 /.839 shooting splits on 14.8 fga and 3.6 fta per game. That slash line was approached or bested by only 12 other players in the league with at least 500 minutes played over the season. Of those 12 players, only Khris Middleton (37.2) scored more FPPG than Schroder (31.0) while playing fewer minutes per game, although it must be said that Middleton was a starter playing next to much better teammates than Schroder in OKC's second unit. Now part of a team with the likes of LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Marc Gasol around, odds are Schroder improves on his 2020 numbers no matter the role he's handed.

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.
