BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 14% of leagues
ANALYSIS: We've been spreading the Word of Williams for a while in this crib, but after Charlotte sent Mason Plumlee packing to the Clippers things just got to the next level for Mark Williams and his truthers. The kid has now taken sole possession of the starting C gig and he's going nowhere, folks, so you better act quickly and before it's too late!
Williams started for the first time the minute Plumlee was traded, back on February 10. He's started seven consecutive games logging 27 MPG and putting up absolute numbers. His per-game lines are ridiculous at 12-10-1 with 1.7+ BPG in that span but the most ridiculous thing is that, again, he's doing that on a per-game basis while getting just 27 minutes of playing time. That's bonkers.
The efficiency can't get much better, with MW putting up 1.13 FP/min since he took on the starter role. Barring a stinker against Denver in his second start (Feb. 11, second leg of a back-to-back) in which he still got a 6-5-0-1-2 line, Williams has hit 28.8+ FP in all other five games in which he got more than 20 minutes of time.
Williams is the preternatural, classic center in terms of where he helps the most: points, rebounds, sky-high FG%, and blocks. He's not going to get fancy with steals/assists/triples but if you're in the need of a stout big man, then Williams should be your priority target ROS.
