Jerian Grant (PG/SG, CHI) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues

OWNED IN: 19% Yahoo!

ANALYSIS: In his second year with the Bulls, Jerian Grant has carved out a role as the starting point guard, averaging close to 30 minutes per contest over the first month of the season. The 25-year-old isn’t the most reliable source of scoring (8.4 points per game on just 34.9 percent shooting) and doesn’t necessarily fill up the stat sheet, but he currently sits 16th in the league in assists with 6.3 per game and has managed three multi-steal games this year. Grant should continue to get quality playing time on a dreadful Bulls team, and can be useful in deeper fantasy leagues for owners in need of some extra assists and steals.
