BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 0% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Khris Middleton keeps missing games and Jevon Carter keeps eating them. Nothing surprising here knowing that the Bucks thrive on offense thanks to boasting the likes of Jrue Holiday and Giannis Antetokounmpo, so adding a defensive dog like Carter would never hurt even if his contributions on the other end might not be that great.
The thing is: they have surely been. Of course, Carter is not an offensive maven, nor gets even the chance to prove his worth there with usage rates around 11% in most games. The shooting is a bit wild all things considered (he's shooting 36% from the floor) but when he hits, he hits.
That's why he has two games of 4+ three-point shots made and another one hitting a couple of them. That said, he also has a couple of 0-for matchups in his early-season resume to go with two more outings in which he didn't hit more than one shot putting up FG% at or below 25 percent.
Consider Carter a D-Man with minimal upside on the widely-available categories (PTS/RBD/AST) but an extraordinary appeal when it comes to steals (1.7 SPG) and blocks (0.6 BPG) when it comes to players with G eligibility. Only six players have been able to average 1+ SPG, 0.5+ BPG, and 1+ 3PM per game this season including Carter, and none other is rostered in fewer than 84% of ESPN leagues.
