BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 12% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Love him or hate him, Kyle Anderson has seemingly found his game in Minny this season. Circumstances (read: injuries to teammates) have genuinely helped him experience that breakout, of course, but that doesn't take from what he's been able to do through the ASG break and what most probably is ahead for him ROS.
Anderson has appeared in 48 games through the break and he's actually started 32 of those. From November 30 on, Anderson has started all but two games, racking up 28 consecutive starting gigs between December 7 and February 10. He got off the court after playing just six minutes at the start of the month but he was already back at it by the time we got to the break.
Slomo has scored at least 12 points in each of his last three outings, two starting and one coming off the pine. He's averaged a ridiculous 31+ FPPG in those three matchups while posting an even crazier 1.33 FP/min in that little run right before the break, February 10 to February 16.
Through the break, Anderson is averaging a low 8.6 PPG but he's paired that scoring outcome with all-across-the-board contributions sitting at 4.7 RPG, 4.1 APG, 1.2 SPG, and 0.8 BPG. In the NBA as a whole, only seven players are currently posting all those per-game numbers: Anderson, Draymond Green, Jayson Tatum, Joel Embiid, Kyrie Irving, Scottie Barnes, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. None of them other than Anderson (26.1) has done it in fewer than 31.7 MPG.
