BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 33% of leagues
ANALYSIS: The worst possible news arrived on Friday evening when Woj reported ongoing discussions between Charlotte and Miles Bridges to sign a deal. Of course, that will have an impact on all Hornets on a usage-rate, field-goal attempt, playing time, etc, etc... basis but that's the least I care about. Keep Bridges out of the league, please.
With all of that out of the way, Plumlee is still a must-roster, kinda-must-start player in all slightly-deeper leagues out there. The boards have gone down a bit with the return of Gordon Hayward and Nick Richards playing good ball off the pine, but there is no real reason for concern when it comes to Plumlee's upside ROS.
Plumlee keeps hitting double-digit points nightly (he's done so in all but three games this month for an average of 12+ PPG) while adding tons of blocks (seven in his last four games combined) and some reasonable dimes (3+ APG in December).
There are only seven other players in the NBA doing what Plumlee is doing to date: 10-9-3 as a per-game baseline. Plumlee and Jakob Poeltl are the only ones reaching those benchmarks while playing fewer than 33 MPG, and the two of them are currently sporting the best FG% marks among those in that eight-man club: the two are shooting 61%+ from the field.
