BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 4% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Thibs is one stubborn coach. That I sure know. He locked into starting Elfrid Payton at the point over Immanuel Quickley and he kept on doing even though the latter was clearly the better player. He locked into starting Reggie Bullock and kept on doing... until Thursday. For the first time this season, Bullock was sent to the second unit this week, and surprise surprise he had his second-best game of the season to the tune of a great 20-3-3-3 stuffed line that included 6 triples and just one TO.
Is Bench-Bullock going to be this type of player ROS? Difficult to know, hard to expect. But when Bullock gets it right, he's as good as any other player available in more than 95 percent of Yahoo leagues. Bullock has disappointed a bit this year, truth be told. He was averaging just an 8-3-1 line prior to March, although he's improved his per-game averages a bit of late: in the first seven games of March he's putting up a 12-3-1-1 line.
Bullock is shooting 50+ percent in his last four games though Thursday, has scored 12+ points in every one of those matches, hit 3+ triples in all of them (4, 5, 3, then 6 in his last one), grabbed 4 RPG, and logged a combined 2.75 dimes+steals per game in that span. Although he doesn't go to the line, the shooting is more often than not good, and if there is something bright in Bullock's game logs those are the triples. If you're hurting for points and treys (with some rebounding upside and no turnovers), Bullock is your man.
