BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 42% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Gotta be happy about T.J. Warren making it back to a basketball court after virtually two years out of the pro circuit recovering from injuries. I mean, the last time this man graced a basketball court we were watching Bubble Hoops.
This anticipated comeback might end up hurting Royce O'Neale's upside if only because he should lose some time with Warren around, but the impact shouldn't be that big all things considered and Royce has done more than enough since signing with the Nets this past summer for him to retain his current role on the rotation.
I never really liked O'Neale in years past for fantasy purposes. This season he's really grown in me even though he's playing on another super-loaded team after doing so in Utah. He's Draymond Lite helping all across the board with averages of 9+ PPG, 5+ RPG, 4+ APG, 1+ SPG, and 0.5+ BPG.
Obviously, the massive MPG (35.6) figure is clearly helping RO'N reach those heights. That doesn't take from what he's doing, though, which is something only 13 guys are currently putting up in the whole Association.
Add Royce's shooting-splits baseline of 39/42/69 and nobody is getting there. The closest: Devin Booker (49/39/86) and De'Aaron Fox (52/39/81).
