Devin Vassell (SG/SF, SAS): Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

Devin Vassell is worth considering as a fantasy basketball waiver wire pickup heading into Week 5 of the NBA season.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues

ROSTERED IN: 28% of leagues

ANALYSIS: The Spurs are definitely rebuilding. It doesn't take a genius to decipher their current operating algorithm. Just look at Devin Vassell's jump up in minutes per game (from 17 to 26) from last season to this his second one, and you'll get all of the information you need to reach that conclusion. But don't get that playing time for what is not. Vassell more than deserves those runs of play as he's been an absolute menace this season--even more in the games played in the month of November.

The split is perfect. Vassell in six October games: 10-5-1-1 on 24 MPG with a 17.5 USG%. Vassell in six November games: 15-3-1-1-1 on 27 MPG with a 20.2 USG%. Looking at those two lines doesn't entirely tell Vassell's truth, as his October outcomes were marked by two 19-point outliers compared to the 7-or-fewer points he scored in all other four games, and something similar on the boards with two games of 7/8 rebounds but the rest topping at 5. This month, though, Vassell has leveled up and stayed on a steady, better line nightly.

Vassell has scored at least 12 points in five of six games played in November. He's shot the rock above 41% in five of six with 11+ FGA in all but one game. He doesn't go to the charity stripe often, but he makes up for it with his shooting from the field, and it's very nice to find a guard who swats 1+ shot per game on top of everything. He's cut his TOs down a bit of late, though I would not advise him in formats that factor giveaways heavily as he's still shaky on that department.
