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

Small sample: he played only 11 games last season, so this stays at "Worth watching" until he plays more.

  • 21 minutes a game this season, off the bench.
  • 1 game this week (Oct 31–Nov 1), about a 95% chance he plays it.
  • When Jerome sat since last season, he played 26 minutes instead of 21 (11 games).
