BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 17% of leagues
ANALYSIS: When it comes to reliable, low-maintenance players doing it on a daily basis, the truth is that you won't find many more valuable plays than adding Isaiah Hartenstein to your roster this season. I'm not going to fool you into believing Hartenstein is more than what he is, because he's definitely not. In other words: Hartenstein is a bona fide per-minute stud with a limited big-man game but excelling at what that type of player does best.
Hartenstein has appeared in 28 games for the Clips this season and has yet to sniff a start. His minutes are kinda low at just 17 MPG on the year, and 18 MPG on the month of December. Now, for a positive, he's gone from logging 13 minutes back on Dec. 6 to 16, 20, 23, and 25 last Wednesday in his last game played. With Nicolas Batum's ankle banged-up and Serge Ibaka entering the protocols, the door has gotten blasted-open for IH and he's surely taking advantage of it.
In a similar way as the likes of Robert Williams III did last season, Hartenstein is doing this year. IH is averaging 1.22 FP/min on those 17 MPG (league average at 0.90) and hasn't played to a below-average level of efficiency since Nov. 16, just once in his last 16 games. Hartenstein will give you what big boys do: some points, some rebounds, limited assists, but very good steals and blocks numbers to go with sky-high percentages. The December line from IH is approaching a 9-4-3-1-2 per game something nobody is doing in the Association. The closest to it: Giannis, JoJo, KAT, Lonzo, and Vooch.
