BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 5% of leagues
ANALYSIS: The San Antonio Spurs waited until the final moments before the deadline to make some moves but ultimately moved some of their pieces--namely Jakob Poeltl and Josh Richardson--while adding a few in return. One of those is Devonte' Graham, who had been a little bit left out of the Pelicans rotation but might now return to his early career ways with an open path to playing time in Texas.
On the season, Graham has averaged a measly 15 MPG in NOLA. Just last Friday, in his debut with the Spurs, Graham already logged 37 minutes off the pine having, obviously, his best performance of the season to date. Graham finished with 31 points (six triples) to go with three dimes and three boards against the lowly Pistons.
The Spurs still have Tre Jones and Romeo Langford in the squad and penciled in as the daily starters. The Spurs are going nowhere (for their own Wemby good) so they might still leave Graham on the bench not to boost their chances of winning games more than they should. Even then, Graham will have all of the room to cook nightly in San Antonio.
Graham is still wildly under-rostered in pretty much all platforms and leagues as he is just entering an entirely new scenario coming off a putrid one. Take advantage of that bug while it lasts. On a per-36 basis, Graham is putting up 13 PTS, five AST, and three RBD this season, numbers much close to what you can expect from him ROS than what he did in NOLA on a fairly limited amount of per-game playing time.
