BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 15% of leagues
ANALYSIS: It's been 14 games for JaMychal Green as a Nugget already, which takes the surprise element from this blurb. At this point, with more than a quarter of the season in the rearview mirror, you very well know what happened in the offseason and how things are shaking out: Denver lost Jerami Grant and Mason Plumlee (both playing nicely in Detroit), and got Green to the Mile High. And while that meant losing a starter and a half, the truth is that Green can't be doing much more for the Nugs.
Green's played each of his 14 games coming off the bench, and he's posted positive plus/minus marks in 10 of those (in three of the other four he finished at -3, -2, and -2). Green has also been an above-average performer on a per-minute basis in all but four games this season, putting up 1.17 FP/min since his first game back on Jan. 1st. This past week (Sat. 23 to Sat. 30) he's played three games and averaged a monster 1.48 (!) FP/min that would rank in the 90th percentile league-wide--starters included.
Green is scoring 11+ PPG, pulling down 6+ RPG, and dishing out 1+ APG this season. He has yet to finish a game without finding paydirt from three, and he's sustaining a good 48.7-percent shooting from the floor on a healthy 8.3 FGA per game. There are 36 players putting up a season-long 11-6-1 line with at least 1 3PG through Thursday, and JaMychal Green is the only one getting there in fewer than 23 minutes. His 14.3 NetRtg is by far the best in that group, with Paul George and Embiid coming next at 12.2 and 11.8.
