Reggie Bullock (SG/SF, NYK): Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues

ROSTERED IN: 13% of leagues

ANALYSIS: Head coach Tom Thibs is one stubborn man. That's why he's kept on playing Reggie Bullock all year long (same with Elfrid Payton at the starting PG spot) instead of looking at alternatives. Bullock has started all but one game this season for the Knicks (49 of 50, that is), is playing 29 MPG on the season and an even larger 32 MPG since the AS break, and although he's been rather inefficient from a per-minute perspective, the large runs are helping him rack up counting stats.

Bullock is definitely not going to help you win an efficiency contest. His low 0.7 FP/min mark since the break is way below average (0.9), but mostly thanks to staying on the court for 30+ minutes nightly he's still bullying his way toward relatively nice fantasy scores. Bullock is scoring 12+ PPG these days (up to almost 14 PPG in April alone), he's a monster from the three-point line (2.2 3PG on the season, 3.2 from Mar. 11 on, 3.3 in April alone), and he's also pulling down enough boards to not kill you in that cat (3+ RPG in April's games).

Again, you are only going to get goodies from Bullock if his profile stays the same and keeps logging heavy minutes. The good news is that Thibs is about to put the Knicks in the postseason for the first time in 38 years, and he's a man of habit so odds are Bullock keeps racking up minutes and starts ROS. For those in deep formats--deep formats--Bullock isn't that bad of a WW target to consider getting into your squad.
