Suns forward Jae Crowder is a worthy consideration as a fantasy basketball waiver wire pickup heading into Week 10 of the NBA season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 36% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Suns' free-agent acquisition Jae Crowder had missed every game since Feb. 3 and finally came back to the court on Feb. 14 (last Sunday). In just two games this past week, though, he has looked as good as he possibly could, playing 25 and 31 minutes, starting that last match against Brooklyn, and putting up 31 and 33 FP on those couple of games.
Crowder started the year as the starting power forward of the Suns, but that changed with both Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson playing great for stretches. It is hard to see Crowder starting going forward (he did against Brooklyn on Tuesday but he was just covering for Frank Kaminsky's bad matchup against the Nets), but even off the pine Croweder is a grizzled vet that can put up numbers.
The best part of Crowder's game comes on spot-up chances as his 3.2 3PG on the season showcase. Crowder is missing a bunch of shots and doesn't have the greatest of percentages out there, but the volume of attempts is high enough to enable him to still reach good totals. He's at 13-4-1 on the year in his 27 MPG of playing time, and his usage often fluctuates between the 17 and 24 percent. Not the greatest of additions for those in shallow leagues, but someone to consider in deeper formats.
