Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 2: Doug McDermott, Jordan Nwora, Raul Neto
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... Read More

Grayson Allen (SG/SF, MIL): Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 18% of leagues ANALYSIS: I wrote so much about Grayson Allen's WW worthiness last year that ended losing the count at some point through the season. Allen, in case you don't know, was traded to the reigning-champs Milwaukee Bucks this past offseason in order to bulk a... Read More
Gary Trent Jr. (SG/SF, TOR): Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 51% of leagues ANALYSIS: I haven't really thought about it this way, but the Gary Trent Jr. for Norman Powell trade from last season was probably the most hockey-trade in the recent history of NBA transactions. No team lost, not team won, and things stayed pretty much the... Read More
Hassan Whiteside (PF/C, UTA): Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 19% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Jazz have been one of--if not the--most continuist teams this offseason when it comes to changing things around its rotation. One of the very few changes of names (not roles, mind you) was that in which Utah flipped Derrick Favors for Hassan Whiteside.... Read More
Pat Connaughton (SG/SF, MIL): Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 19% of leagues ANALYSIS: With Brook Lopez and Bobby Portis injured and expected to be out for a few days (already missed one and two games respectively), the Bucks seem to have moved into a downsized lineup using Giannis at C, Khris Middleton at PF, and Pat... Read More
Patty Mills (PG/SG, BKN): Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 41% of leagues ANALYSIS: I don't think, even you've been living under a rock for the past month, that you don't know about the whole saga surrounding Kyrie Irving and his anti-COVID-vax position. Let me boil it down to the simplest of terms for you: Irving is... Read More
Nemanja Bjelica (SF/PF, GSW): Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 38% of leagues ANALYSIS: It was very clear that Nemanja Bjelica was not going to be able to replicate his G1 outing against the Lakers his second time out, but it is also very clear how important Bjelica will be for this iteration of the Warriors before... Read More
Devin Vassell (SF/PF, SAS): Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 20% of leagues ANALYSIS: Devin Vassell is entering his sophomore and age-22 season with the Spurs. He already appeared on 62 games last year (starting 7 of them) and he, once more, projects to get off the pine more often than not in 2022 as San Antonio... Read More
Derrick Rose (PG/SG, NYK): Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 48% of leagues ANALYSIS: Tom Thibodeau is still the head coach of the New York Knicks. That's it. That's all you need to know in order to have a solid reason for acquiring some shares of the current sixth-man and former great-Bull (MVP) Derrick Rose. I mean,... Read More
Raul Neto (PG, WAS): Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Wiz decided to move on from Russell Westbrook this past offseason, and in doing so they revamped their roster as they acquired a ton of players from multiple places. This meant a change in Washington's philosophy of pairing Bradley Beal with another superstar,... Read More
Ricky Rubio (PG, CLE): Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 42% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Cavs acquired Ricky Rubio earlier this summer while he was thriving in Toky with the Spanish national team, and the trade for the Spaniard seemed like a steal (not totally reasonable given his age and the presence of Collin Sexton/Darius Garland on the team)... Read More
Eric Gordon (SG/SF, HOU) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 9% of leagues ANALYSIS: With a flurry of offseason moves, the Houston Rockets have declared that the rebuild is well and truly underway. They drafted four players in the first round of the NBA draft and told John Wall to rest up for an eventual mid-season trade.... Read More
Gorgui Dieng (PF/C, ATL): Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 3% of leagues ANALYSIS: Did you know Gorgui Dieng is now a member of the Atlanta Hawks? He’s on his fourth team in the last three years but looks to be locked into the backup center role behind starter Clint Capela. That is at least until second-year... Read More
Franz Wagner (SG/SF, ORL): Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 12% of leagues ANALYSIS: Wagner was taken with the eighth overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, but he was never expected to start right out of the gates. But then Chuma Okeke got injured, and Wagner has stepped into the starting rotation. And he hasn't disappointed.... Read More
