Marvin Bagley III (PF/C, SAC): Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

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.
