BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 58% of leagues
ANALYSIS: There is an ongoing line of thought about Memphis and what they should do with their über-deep roster. Boiling it down to a simple thing, it says that the Grizzlies would be better off moving most of that depth--which is not going to be useful in the postseason--for one or two good/better/impact players while cutting the viable rotation to around nine or ten guys at most. One of the pieces potentially in the market might be Kyle Anderson, and it's not that he will find no suitors given his play of late.
Anderson, just in the month of January (four games played; he missed time from Dec. 31 till Jan. 8), has started three games and averaged a 10-5-3-1-1 line while playing around 24 MGP. The minutes have gone down progressively and fell below the 20-mark on Friday (Steven Adams returned to the lineup, so that's why) in Memphis' first loss in 12 games, but Anderson has done more than enough to prove his worth.
Anderson is a fantastic rebounder and comes with very high stealing/blocking upside. He's good at shooting the rock (47% on his past four) on low volume, and although he's not adept at three-point shooting/scoring he can still get some long-rangers here and there. Anderson is averaging 1.1 SPG and 0.6 BPG on the season, but he's at a bit higher 1.3 SPG and 0.8 BPG figures since the start of December. The role can't change for the good whether he remains in Memphis or gets traded, so you know what you're getting ROS.
