BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 8% of leagues
ANALYSIS: The NBA keeps going, the Charlotte Hornets keep playing games, and Jalen McDaniels seems to be going nowhere. The absence of Gordon Hayward might be helping his playing time a bit, yes, but even then the forward is doing enough to merit some role even when the starter comes back.
McDaniels has started one game of 14 this season, so it's not that he will see an incredible change in role no matter what lies ahead. He's playing a very palatable 28 MPG since the start of November compared to 25 in October (and an even lower 23 MPG in the first five games of the season).
The older of the McDaniels brothers, Jalen has finally found his shooting stroke hitting at least 42% of his field goals in each of the past five days after missing on it fairly often before that stretch. The freebies are virtually non-existent, though, but JMD is hitting treys with gusto to make up for that: 0.9 3PM per game over the full season and a phenomenal 1.5 in the last five matchups (all played from last Monday on).
McDaniels is a nice rebounding-and-diming player with 5 RPG and almost 2.5 APG on the season. The steals are good too with a virtual 1:1 steal-to-turnover ratio.
