Eric Bledsoe (PG/SG, LAC): Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

ROSTERED IN: 59% of leagues

ANALYSIS: Yes, I know we're stretching things a bit talking about a near-60% rostered player, but Eric Bledsoe is well worth the WW look just in case and much more the WW post this weekend. The Clippers' shelves are absolutely stacked these days with almost 10 players sitting right there on them whatever the reason. Bledsoe was acquired this past offseason and was always going to feature heavily, but this has boosted his opportunities and value past the wildest of our expectations.

Bledsoe split two starting-stints with a pine-riding tenure spanning nine games at the start of December. He went back to the starting lineup on Dec. 22 and only hit the pine back on Dec. 31 against the Raptors, though it is also true that he just played 17 minutes on New Year's Even so that looked more like an outlier than anything else. Keep an eye on it, though. Bledsoe should be getting starting minutes by the look of his season.

Eric B. has been on the court for 27 MPG this season and in games in which he's logged 20+ minutes (30 of 36 through Friday) of he's been good for an average line of 11-1-4 with 1.3 steals and 0.4 blocks. He's also averaged 1.1 3PM per game with a nice 42.5 shooting percentage from the field on a kinda healthy 10 FGA. PG13 will be out for almost a month, Brandon Boston Jr. just got canned from the Clips rotation hitting the shelves, and Bledsoe is a lock to stay on his path to great points/dimes/steals numbers along with his customary 1+ triples-per-day and very strong shooting percentages of late (46.4% from the field even on a much higher 13-FGA diet since Dec. 20 included).
