BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 27% of leagues
ANALYSIS: The Pistons took a flier on Frank Jackson after Oklahoma City cut him on Dec. 21. It took him more than three months to start getting noticed, but once he did (right after the AS break) he just couldn't stop putting on nice performances for his new franchise. Frankie played just 76 minutes (7.6 MPG) in his first 10 games in Motown from Jan. 8 to Feb. 24, but he's been able to average some healthy 23 MPG in the last 28 through Friday.
Jackson has been a secondary player for the Pistons all season long. He just started one on Thursday against Memphis, but it'd been 23 games in a row coming off the pine for him getting back to his last start in Mar. 24. No problem for Frankie, though, as he's been absolutely devastating in the past three weeks (Apr. 16 on) with averages of 15.8 PPG, 2.3 3PG, 3.3 RPG, and 1.5 APG. That's a great line for someone rostered in barely one of each four Yahoo leagues if you ask me.
Frank Jackson has scored at least 11 points in all of his last six games, with an even healthier 17.8 PPG average in that span and hitting 20+ points twice (including a 6-trey performance against Charlotte!). It's been a wonderful second half for Jackson, and given Detroit's rebuilding stage he has everything going his way to stay on the court ROS and in the upcoming season, perhaps turning into a valuable piece for the Pistons going forward.

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.
