BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 22% of leagues
ANALYSIS: There is a chance Charlotte eventually decides to throw some young bloods into the starting lineup and starts handing bulky minutes to their most inexperienced players if the season goes totally wrong. That will see Mason Plumlee give his starting nod to Nick Richards (who has been impressive), but for now, Plumlee is still in possession of the no. 1 center role.
Richards had three consecutive double-double games from Nov. 18 to Nov. 23 but he came back down to earth last Friday with a 2-3-1 game in which he also blocked a couple of shots. He's shot exactly 50% from the floor in five consecutive games.
Plumlee, on the other hand, and starting games nightly, has failed to dub-dub of late but had one such outing against Philly on Thanksgiving eve. The scoring has tanked recently but he's kept up his rebounding prowess. In November, Plumlee is averaging 9.5+ PPG, 10 RPG, 4 APG, and 1.5 stocks per game.
You can't expect nightly scoring outcomes in the double figures because the volume won't allow Plumlee to reach those heights so frequently (not even 6 FGA per game). That said, Plumlee is one of just six players averaging 9+ rebounds, 4+ assists, and 1.2+ stocks over the season. The other five: Sabonis, Giannis, Embiid, Jokic, and Siakam.
