BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 52% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Saturday was a sad day. Facing the Mavs, Mason Plumlee couldn't crack the 15-FP barrier. That is no bueno, but you know what? We don't care about that, because it'd been quite a streak of games for him beating that threshold--in fact, the last Plumlee standing in the League had done so in all games after the ASB. What's to hate?
Plumlee has started all 62 games he's played this season, and that comes paired with a nice 25 MPG average over the year that hasn't been impacted that much by the addition of Montrezl Harrell back on deadline day (23 MPG after the break for MP). Plumlee is most definitely a monster rebounder (8 RPG, pro-rated to 11.5 per 36) with some blocking prowess. No, he's not a lock to swat three or four shots a game as he's done twice in the last five games he's played, but he should be good enough to give you at least one a pop.
The Hornets are still fighting to make the play-in and although they've virtually got the berth already, things won't probably change that much in terms of roles and rotations ROS. So you can count on MP to keep his playing time up and his ridiculous per-minute efficiency right where it currently is at: 1.10 PF/min in March (league average at 0.90, for context). Rebounds, steals, blocks, and FG% are all in Plumlee's calling card.
