Reggie Bullock (SG/SF, NY): Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues

ROSTERED IN: 18% of leagues

ANALYSIS: I'd add Bullock to all of my teams if only to tell him to let Julius Randle know I'm very pleased with the latter's performance of late. Oh, boy, is Randle thriving... Anyway. That's the story making headlines around New York these days, as Randle has been insane, but do you know who keeps racking minutes of playing time and pilling upstarts for the Knicks? That's right, your man Reggie Bullock. Turns out the sitting he suffered on Mar. 18 was just a short-circuit on coach Thibs' mind, as Bullock hasn't skipped a start ever since. Good to see.

Bullock has started a staggering 52 of his 53 games this season. I wouldn't have bet on that last December, let alone by mid-January or February with the addition of Rose, and even the out-of-left-field contributions from rookie Immanuel Quickley. But here we are, and with less than a month to go (and the Knicks somehow putting on a top-4 seed season), it is not that things are going to change before the playoffs. Bullock, truth be told, hasn't been bad while at it. Not a league winner. Not a mind bender. Sure, but not the worst of targets for yall out there in deeper formats.

As is always the case with this type of player, Bullocks often bulldozers his way to nice outings on brute force by logging hefty minutes. He's played more than 27 ticks in all but three games this month and is actually averaging 37 MPG in the past 14 days. That's bonkers. And that's also helping Bullock in reaching his 14-3-2-1 line in that span. Locked starter? Yes. Spot-up shooter? Yes (2.3 3PG on the season, 3.6 3PG in April, 5 and 6 treys in his last two games). Multi-cat contributor? Yes. Nine-cat target? Yes (0.7 TO per game, 2:1 AST:TO ratio). Can't go wrong with Bullock.
