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

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

  • No. 44 in our 9-cat rankings, down 13 spots since Oct 24.
  • 35 minutes a game this season, off the bench.
  • 1 game this week (Oct 31–Nov 1), about a 95% chance he plays it.

How we work out the chance he plays

His role

Minutes a game, and whether he starts.

Last season
35 min
70 games, started all 70
This preseason
26 min
2 games, started both
This season
35 min
5 games, off the bench
We project
35 min
about 68 games

Why we project him this way: 35.2 min, 17.4 pts, 4.6 reb, 6.2 ast in 5 games this season; 13.8 shots a game, down from 16 last season; at 37, we expect a small dip and a few more rest games.
