De'Anthony Melton
Should I get him? · 12-team 9-cat
Lean add
A lean, not a lock: he's just past the 156 players a 12-team league usually rosters.
- No. 161 in our 9-cat rankings, up 40 spots since Oct 24.
- 21 minutes a game this season, off the bench.
- 1 game this week (Oct 31–Nov 1), about a 90% chance he plays it.
- When Curry sat since last season, he played 25 minutes instead of 21 (12 games).
