Jarrett Culver (SG/SF, MIN) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 15% of leagues

ANALYSIS: Jarrett Culver was one of my favorite rookies heading into the season, but his first NBA campaign got off to a fairly slow start. That's changed recently though, and Culver's getting chances to show he can succeed.

Culver's started eight games this year, including the past three. His shooting is bad, as he's been below 40 percent in five straight games, but if you're running a fantasy build where percentages don't matter, his scoring (four games in a row in double figures and seven of his last eight) and steals are solid, plus he's providing solid production in the rebounds and assists department.

I'd definitely like to see his shot start to drop more consistently, but he's got a growing role on this team and the coaching staff seems intent on making sure Culver has chances to improve in his first season. If you need an upside play, Culver could be that guy.
