Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is worth considering as a fantasy basketball waiver wire pickup heading into Week 2 of the 2022-23 NBA season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 9% of leagues
ANALYSIS: One thing you didn't know: KCP has yet to turn 30 years old. One thing you might be more interested in knowing: KCP is one of only three players averaging at least 13 PPG, 4 RPG, and 3 APG in the early season while rostered in fewer than 70% of ESPN leagues... and the only one doing so while on fewer than 40% of all leagues. Sheesh.
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope joined the Nuggets this offseason via trade and judging by the earliest returns this could turn into a true steal for Denver--and for you too if you can rush to your WW quicker than anyone else to smash that "Add" button.
KCP is the Nuggets' new starting SG and that shouldn't change any time soon with Bones Hyland still a bit green and going through sophomore growing pains. Alas: the 33+ MPG Kentavious has enjoyed through Sunday (three games played) in which he's been good enough to put up that rarely-available-in-90%-leagues 13-4-3-1 line.
Other than in his two-point debut, KCP has dropped buckets in bunches in his other two games: 17 against the Dubs and 21 against OKC on back-to-back nights of action. Don't get that debut for what it was not, though: KCP still had 6 assists against Utah in that surprising G1 loss and contributed all across the board with 4 rebounds, 2 steals, and a block on top of it all.
