BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 2% of leagues
ANALYSIS: For someone that has been around forever, Cory Joseph is still "only" 31 years old. Earlier this season, even as recently as last month, you would have thought this man was playing at age-37 if not more. If you've only been watching him play for the last four weeks, though, you might have thought he's just 24.
The Pistons have turned Joseph into the main leader of their second unit, a role he's gladly taken and made the most of. Starting in the last game of February and through Saturday (he missed Friday's game with a non-COVID illness), Joseph has played at least 24+ minutes in all 12 games he's appeared in throughout this span.
Joseph has scored 11+ points in each of his last nine outings, averaging 14.3 PPG and hitting at least one three-point shot in 11 consecutive games. He's hitting 2+ 3PM per game in March (11 games) while still keeping up a field-goal percentage above 50 percent (50.3) this month, with three-point shots already factored into it.
The vet is doing a little bit of everything these days, from scoring and spot-up shooting (his calling card) to grabbing rebounds (2.7+ RPG this month), dishing out dimes (4.0 APG), and stealing possessions (0.9 SPG) with relative ease.
The leading duties have brought some turnover issues to his stat lines, but nothing he's not making up for with the combination of all statistics. A good option for those in deeper leagues is looking for some help at the point throughout the final weeks of the season.
