BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 55% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Even though Caris LeVert has slowly but surely gone down of late, the rostership has been getting up and up through the week to the extent of increasing nearly 10 full percentage points in the last seven days.
The last time we wrote about the Cavs guard, LeVert had scored 15+ points in five consecutive games, including a couple of matches in which he topped 20 pops (22 and 24 on back-to-back nights). This week, though, he's not reaching those gaudy stats but he's still scored a good 18 and 12 points while filling his stat lines all across the board.
LeVert has kept his defensive numbers up, stealing at last one ball in each of his last 10 games and averaging an even better 2 SPG in that span.
From March 10th on, LeVert has scored 17+ PPG (3 3PM per game!) to go with a solid 3 RPG, 4+ APG, and 2+ SPG on top of everything. We already told you, there aren't more than 30 players putting up those numbers through the season.
In fact, only eight players in the NBA have been good enough to put up nightly 17-4 lines (points and dimes) with 1.5+ SPG added to that. LeVert's full season has obviously not reached that baseline, but his recent run of form is something otherworldly.
