BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 58% of leagues
ANALYSIS: My boss is going to kill me the minute he sees this post because that 58-percent rostership is way above the threshold... only I'm my own boss so I'll give myself a pass because the Bald Boy Alex Caruso deserves this type of entry weekly while he remains available even in just 10% of fantasy leagues this season.
Caruso bet on himself and signed with the Bulls after the Lakers dropped a tiny bag on him that he--obviously--deemed not filled enough given his important role for the Bubble-Champ Lakers. Caruso is a simple man: just play him and he'll you fantastic defense, reasonable rebounds, good dimes, and then a ridiculously high number of steals on a nightly basis. The Bulls are never going to rely on Caruso's shooting, and shouldn't do you because he's hit just 28% of his shots in the past 8 games getting back to Nov. 12. Ugh.
But don't hate Caruso for what he can't do, and focus instead of what he does nicely, which is plenty and comes in very special cats. Caruso goes to the charity stripe almost 2 times a game and he hits pretty much all freebies he takes. He's a must-have player in 9-cat leagues with very very limited turnovers. And he's a fantastic rebounder as a guard while having sky-high stealing numbers. Caruso's one of only six players stealing 2+ rocks per game this season, and in fact, he leads the league at it with 2.4 SPG in 19 games played.
