Small sample: he has very few NBA games, so this stays at "Worth watching" until he plays more.
- No. 76 in our 9-cat rankings, down 26 spots since Oct 24.
- Didn't play last season. 31 minutes a game in his last 3; started 1 of 3.
- 1 game this week (Oct 31–Nov 1), about a 95% chance he plays it.

Why we project him this way: 29.6 min, 18.5 pts, 3.8 reb, 3.5 ast in 4 games this season; at 36, we expect a small dip and a few more rest games.
