Desmond Bane

Should I get him? · 12-team 9-cat
Worth adding

Fairly sure: a regular in any 12-team league.

  • No. 36 in our 9-cat rankings, up 5 spots since Oct 24.
  • 34 minutes a game this season, off the bench.
  • 1 game this week (Oct 31–Nov 1), about a 95% chance he plays it.
  • When Wagner sat since last season, he played 35 minutes instead of 31 (45 games).
