BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 12% of leagues
ANALYSIS: The Wolves lost Karl-Anthony Towns all the way back on November 28 and he's yet to return to the court. In the meantime, it's been veteran Kyle "SloMo" Anderson who has taken on starting SF duties for Minny with third-year man Jaden McDaniels moving up a slot to the starting PF role.
Anderson has started all games from Dec. 7 on as Wendell Moore was less than convincing at doing it. Since then, SloMo is playing 32 MPG and averaging 10.5 PPG, 5 RPG, 5 APG, and 1.5 SPG. Anderson, mind you, have a ridiculously low USG% as part of the first unit sitting at around 15% in the last six games he's played and started at SF.
On a positive note, though, Anderson is extraordinary at creating plays and opportunities for his teammates with those 5 dimes a night. He's reached 5+ assists in four of the last six games he's started, and he also had five dimes on Nov. 30 when he started at the PF position in the game immediately following Towns' injury.
The rebounds are always at around 6/7 and capped at that ceiling because of a certain Rudy Gobert roaming the paint and eating boards on a per-game basis, so don't expect gaudy numbers on that front.
Anderson scores two-point buckets but won't stretch the floor from you. Keep an eye on the turnovers if he gets more of a playmaking role going forward with D'Angelo Russell banged up of late. More dimes will come if D'Lo stays out for a longer period of time, but the TOPG numbers might lower that upside a bit.
