BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 48% of leagues
ANALYSIS: We're about to hit a 50% rostership when it comes to Steven Adams so make sure you grab some shares before it's too late! Adams keep playing games, starting them, and producing great lines nightly with the odd blunder--nothing to worry about that much, though, as the former come more often than not.
Adams has appeared in all six Grizzly games this season playing 31+ minutes in three of them and 24 or fewer in the other three. Somehow, he's made up for the lack of playing time in those three outings with some silly numbers in each of those games: 4 blocks in the first one, a 12-11 dub-dub against Sacto, and most recently a 2-10-1-1-1 all-across-the-board contribution on Saturday.
The turnovers have gotten a bit wild of late with 4 in each of the past two games (four personal fouls in each of those two matchups, also, limiting his minutes) but other than that there is nothing to really hate about Adams. He will give you boards steadily (9+ in five of his six games) and although the points won't come easily his way and the free-throw shooting sucks (4-of-17 so far...) he can contribute some low-volume assists, steals, and blocks.
I was going to recommend targeting Adams in All leagues but ultimately decided to demote him to a slightly-deeper 10-team format. Anything from there should be a deep-enough league to the roster and start a legitimate starter in Adams ROS or at the very least until Jaren Jackson Jr. makes his comeback.
