BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 43% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Shouts out to the Wagner fam for putting a couple of kids in the Association--on the same squad, no least! Franz, the rook and younger of the two, has been the true stud of the two so far this season and has had an impressive start to his pro career. To the point, his current below-50% rostership is a freaking bargain and something that won't probably last for long.
Wagner, a top-10 pick in the past draft along with fellow Magic Jalen Suggs, has started all six games for Orlando this season. He's playing a more than healthy 33 MPG and his stats are high all across the board. Check this out: Wag is putting up an average 13-3-2-1 per-game line, which isn't bad at all for a freshman. The best thing about Wagner's game, though, is his steadiness.
Franz has scored 10+ points in every single game he's played through Friday. He's also dished out at least one dime in all but one match, steal a ball in five of six games too, and pulled down 4+ rebounds in four of his six outings. Can't complain at all. The turnovers are super low with one or none four out six times, and the shooting is high at 50.7% from the floor on a reasonable 10+ FGA--not to mention he's also hitting 1.8 3PM per game and has only been blanked once in six games, topping at 4 3PM against New York on Oct. 22.

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.
