BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 18% of leagues
ANALYSIS: We're entering that part of the season when folks all the nation over start to realize that maybe, just maybe, the Nuggets are for real and Nikola Jokic inevitably will earn another MVP award. It's happened in the last two seasons and it should happen this year, too.
Jokic keeps thriving, the Nuggets keep looking strong, and at least through the regular season, they're truly unbeatable. One of the reasons is KCP's contributions.
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has yet to start a game off the bench. He's appeared in all 45 matches through Saturday, starting them all, and playing 32 MPG over the season. Just this month, in 11 games to date, he's only missed reaching 30+ MP three times. And even in the games he did, he still reached 25 FP at the very least.
KCP has strung three consecutive games with at least nine points, three steals, one rebound, and one assist in each of them. He's stolen at least two possessions in six consecutive games. In January, KCP is averaging an 11-2-2-1 per-game line.
That honestly sells him short of what he's doing nightly. There are 59 players putting up those numbers throughout the season. The list gets reduced to a 20-man club when applying a minute filter of 1,400+ MP through Saturday.
Now, the boom: KCP is the only one of those also shooting 47/47/82 splits. In fact, nobody else in that group is hitting even 40% of their three-point attempts while KCP is doing it while hoisting 4.4 3PA per game. Oooofff...
