BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 48% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Let's forget that putrid Thursday game against Milwaukee. Okay. Now, let's start writing about Danny Green. Green has been the starting forward of the (check numbers) no. 1 team in the East all year long. That's not bad for a start. Green is playing 28+ MGP on the season, and although he's not obviously commanding a high number of shots and chances (13% usage rate) with Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons around, he's still playing nicely and putting up good numbers.
Danny's a machine from beyond the three-point line, that's for sure. Guy's hitting 2.5 3PG and has scored at least 2 three-pointers in all but two games played in April (in 11 games played and counting, that is). Not only that, but Green is also pulling down a good 4+ RPG, dishing out 2 APG, and perhaps most importantly due to the scarcity stealing 1.2+ balls a game and swatting almost a shot nightly.
You can forget about Green handing you goodies in terms of freebies, high field-goal attempts on great percentages, or nice efficiency. He plays a ton, but it is not that he gets all of the balls we'd love him to. Even then, though, the high minutage enables him to have a baseline of around 10-4-2-1 every day to go with great three-point numbers. Prior to the dud against Milwaukee, he had strung three matches at 31+ FP with fantasy scores reaching 38, 31, and 33 FP. Must-add in deep formats ROS.
