Small sample: he has very few NBA games, so this stays at "Worth watching" until he plays more.
- No. 26 in our 9-cat rankings, up 14 spots since Oct 24.
- Didn't play last season. 28 minutes a game in his last 3; started 2 of 3.
- No games for DAL this week (Oct 31–Nov 1).
This week
No games for DAL this week (Oct 31–Nov 1).
Played 5 of his team's last 6 games, 5 of the last 6.
How we work out the chance he playsHis role
Minutes a game, and whether he starts.
Didn't play last season. 28 minutes a game in his last 3; started 2 of 3.
Why we project him this way: 28.6 min, 21.4 pts, 3.4 reb, 4.8 ast in 5 games this season; turns 35 in March, so we expect a small dip and a few more rest games.
