BALLER MOVE: Target Around 48 Overall
CURRENT ADP: 61
ANALYSIS: The Bucks decided to pass on re-signing Malcolm Brogdon a couple of offseasons ago, and now folks are saying that it could cost them Giannis re-upping with the team to some extent. Will Brogdon also be part of Victor Oladipo's decision to stay or leave Indiana next summer? Who knows, but his performance will go distances in where the Pacers finish in the 2021 season. And it is not that he was bad at all last year.
Other than no. 1 Pacer Domantas Sabonis, no other player in Indiana was able to finish the year inside the top-70 fantasy players in total FP through the 2020 season. Brogdon was also super efficient on a per-minute basis, ranking as a top-45 player among guys with at least 1,500 total minutes played. Brogdon was adept at going to the free-throw line, hitting freebies at a great 89.2 clip.
Barring Brogdon's low three-point percentages (32.6% on the season, although shooting a very palatable 4.3 treys per game), his shooting from the field (43.8%) and free-throw scoring pairing was only tied or bested by five other players through the season (min. 13 fga per game): Gallinari, Bojan Bogdanovic, Kyrie, Booker, and Middleton. Brogdon also posted a nice 4.9 rpg and 7.1 apg while playing at the point-guard position more often than not (per Basketball-Reference.com), which was nice to see.

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.
