BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 40% of leagues
ANALYSIS: The Bucks are still missing Donte DiVincenzo and although Khris Middleton is back on the court after missing a few games--of which Pat Connaughton took great care starting at both forward positions--Patty keeps playing ample time nightly while delivering sound performances for the reigning champs.
Connaughton has played six consecutive games off the bench going back to Nov. 17 (included). The outcome? Almost an average 14-5-1-1-1 line a day hitting field goals at a 55% clip on 8.5 FGA per game. The turnovers (1.3 per game with back-to-back 3 TO matches) are a little bit high, can't lie about that, but so are the three-pointers Pat is hitting of late (3.2 3PM in those last six matches) and on the year (2.7 3PM as his season average).
Pat will always stay on the 10-to-15 clip when it comes to points scored and he will never command tons of shots per game given the folks he shares the floor with, even as part of the second unit. But he's fantastic for a spot-up, low-volume shooter. The rebounds can't get much higher considering he's playing around 27 MPG and pulling down 5.1+ RPG. Count on Connaughton to keep his numbers on a similar baseline whether he starts or not, and no matter who is available ROS.
