Should I get him? · 12-team 9-cat
Worth adding
Fairly sure, though he's not far from the edge of what a 12-team league keeps.
- No. 137 in our 9-cat rankings, down 12 spots since Oct 24.
- 24 minutes a game this season, off the bench.
- 1 game this week (Oct 31–Nov 1), about a 95% chance he plays it.
- When Williamson sat since last season, he played 29 minutes instead of 23 (15 games).
