BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 13% of leagues
ANALYSIS: An under-the-radar player in #thisleague, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope keeps bagging starts in Denver after getting to the Rockies and arriving from Washington this summer. It's been 27 games through Saturday for KCP and 27 starts for the two-guard since becoming an experienced Nugget.

Go Premium, Win More!KCP is far from a world-beater, mind you, but he does what he's asked for with smooth precision. If you look at KCP's efficiency you'll hate him with a passion. That's because he's taking on very particular duties while spending a ton of minutes on the court, so the average 0.68 FP/min looks atrocious.
If you're looking for a specialist, though, KCP is your man. The guard does two things at a rate not many NBA players are capable of: hitting 3-point shots and stealing rocks. This season, only 18 players are averaging 2+ 3PM per game and 1+ SPG while keeping up an overall 45 FG% from the field.
KCP's usage rate (13.8%) is subpar at best, but it validates what I wrote above: KCP is just a bonafide 3-and-D player. He also contributes 3+ RPG and 2+ APG while keeping his TOPG below 1.5 on a per-game basis, which is nice to have around in 9-cat leagues.
