BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 11% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Jarred Vanderbilt has started at both the PF and C position for the Jazz in the three games Utah has played through Sunday. It's funny because he's done a little bit of everything at different points/games but he has still to have an all-across-the-board explosion this year.
JV kicked the year off with back-to-back 12 and 14-rebound outings while dropping below double-digit scoring figures... only to then score 15 pops on Sunday (vs. NO) but fall to just four boards. All things considered, though, Vanderbilt has put up per-game averages of 8+ PPG, 10 RPG, 2 AGP, and 3 SPG.
That's correct: Vanderbilt stole one ball in G1 but he then proceeded to steal four on back-to-back games against Minny (4 dimes + 4 steals) and the Pelicans (4 rebounds + 4 steals + 2 treys + 1 dime + 1 block).
The shooting has been sublime with three games at a 40+ FG% whit two of them at 71+ FG%. The freebies have topped at only three (Sunday) and the field-goal volume is not really incredible (4-5-7) but you know Vanderbilt will hit them all inside while coming with some upside beyond the three-point arc.
Watch out for the fouling, though, because he got eliminated in G1 after just 18 minutes of playing time with 6 PF and he also got called for five fouls in each of the past two games.
