BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 47% of leagues
ANALYSIS: The Hornets traded for Montrezl Harrell this past deadline. Although overall Harrell's minutes haven't gone down from those he was getting in Washington, they have cratered in March with three games at just 17 MP. Mason Plumlee has remained the big-boy paint-linchpin of the Hornets, hasn't stopped starting games, and is averaging around 25 MPG this month while he's been getting great shooting/rebounding numbers for two months and going.
Plumlee is just never going to command a ton of touches nor finish lots of possessions as part of this loaded and flashy Hornets squad. It is what it is, and it is also the main reason why Plumlee's usage rate is down at 11% on the year and a measly 9% in March (five games). That said, when Plumlee finishes possessions he almost always hits. Yes, only 3.3 FGA per game in the last eight games post-ASB, but a solid 70% shooting from the floor is simply great and the TOPG are manageable at a low 0.9.
Again, you get Plumlee if you need sky-high big-man shooting percentages and tons of rebounds. Plumlee has pulled down double-digit boards in 15 of the last 26 games going back to Jan. 12, and he's averaging 8.5+ RPG in March alone. His line is sitting at 6-8-4-1-1 in March in a surprisingly nice set of performances on the assists/steals/blocks fronts. Not a ton of shots swatted season-wise (0.7 BPG) but Plumlee has improved a ton of late there with 1.25 BPG after the break.
