BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 22% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Tristan Thompson has been out during the past week but should be back soon. Richaun Holmes is going through conditioning and will also get back to the Kings lineup and make his year-2022 debut in the next few days after missing all games since the flipping on the page. Meanwhile, though, the Kangz have found gold in someone haters have feasted on for the past three seasons and already half of this one: Marvin Bagley III.
Yessir, that's Bagley the Third! Not going to get into revisiting the 2018 draft because it makes no sense at this point. Anyway. Bagley is a good basketball player. What a surprise, isn't it!? It isn't, folks, just accept it. Bagley is good, full stop. MB3 has started 11 in a row at the PF position and he's been good for an 11-8 average on points and boards in just 26 minutes of playing time. Sacramento, on top of everything, doesn't know what the hell is doing and who to build around. Is it Fox? Is it Haliburton? What about veterans Hield and Barnes? What a mess!
I know for good the minute Sacramento gives up on Bagley (remember, the trade deadline is just three weeks away) he will explode and become a bona fide performer on whichever team lands him. Seriously. The shooting from the field has sucked a bit, but the total points and rebounds are more than good for his playing time and role. The environment and the context have not been great for Bagley to say the least, so that's another positive if he gets moved. I'd advise landing Bagley before it's too late because whatever happens is going to benefit his floor and raise his ceiling probably a lot. Perks of leaving Sacto.

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 24: Isaac Okoro, Kris Dunn, Josh Richardson, Corey Kispert, Delon Wright
The deeper a fantasy basketball league, the harder it is to hit a winner with your last few picks. It is also harder to find decent help from the waiver wire if your late-round picks don't do you justice. If you picked up a few stinkers, don't lose hope just yet. I will try to […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 16% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Hawks are currently the 10th seed in the East but are also tied for 8th and 9th with Brooklyn and Charlotte respectively.

Immanuel Quickley (PG, NYK): Week 24 Waiver Wire Pickups
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. Well, not the case for the Wiz Wing by the looks of it. Avdija has […]
