BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 6% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Tale of two seasons that of Drew Eubanks. From the tip-off of the year to Apr. 11, Eubanks played 33 games averaging a below-average 0.87 FP/min. From Apr. 12 on, though, Eubanks' per-minute fantasy-point mark is sitting at a beautiful 1.35 FP/min, which is pretty much insane and a top-level number all things considered. Obviously, Eubanks is getting there on low minutes of playing time (18 MPG), but that doesn't mean he's not making the most of his chances and squeezing the opportunities he's been given.
Focusing on games played from Apr. 12 on, Eubanks has been part of seven of them while starting once for the Spurs. He's been able to put up two dub-dubs in that span, is shooting a masterful 77% from the floor and hitting 68% of his free-throw attempts, and his average line reads 10-8-1 with more than a block per game to spare.
Eubanks is definitely a what-if, ultimate-flier gamble to take. With the Spurs pretty much locked into the play-in part of the season, the only thing they're battling for these days is to know if they'll finish as the 9th or 10th seed in the West. Eubanks is not going to start many of the remaining games if Jakob Poeltl and Keldon Johnson don't get injured, but he's one of the main backups for those two at the F/C position and will keep getting minutes off the pine while averaging mental efficiency numbers.
