Tim Hardaway Jr (SG/SF, ATL) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 14% Yahoo!

ANALYSIS: The Atlanta Hawks have a deep rotation at the two and three positions with Kyle Korver, Kent Bazemore, Thabo Sefolosha, Tim Hardaway Jr. and even Malcolm Delaney all fighting for minutes. Hardaway is playing pretty well lately. In his lasts five games, he has averaged 14.4 PTS while hitting 2.0 3PT, grabbing 2.8 REB, dishing out 2.8 AST and getting 1.0 STL in 30 minutes per game. The minutes seem to be trending up, with him having played just 21 minutes per game before that period.

So far this season, he is hitting 43.7% of his field goals, which is not too bad considering half of his shots are from beyond the arc. His FT% is surprisingly poor at the moment — only 65.1% — but he is a career 79.9% free throw shooter, so he should turn that around pretty soon. His output in three-pointers and points should have him owned in more than just 14% of Yahoo! leagues. If he can keep up this recent production and get stable minutes in the high 20s, Hardaway will not be sitting on waiver wires for long.
