BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 17% of leagues
ANALYSIS: While Taurean Prince struggled in 22 minutes against the Knicks on Friday, overall he's been providing some strong minutes since coming to Cleveland.
In six games with the Cavs, the 26-year-old is averaging 11 points, four rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.2 steals per game. Maybe the best thing for potential fantasy managers is that he's averaging two three-pointers per game over that span as well.
Cleveland has really been in need of versatile forwards who can shoot the ball, and Prince has given them that so far during his brief Cavs tenure. His skillset means that even after shooting 14.3 percent against New York, this Cleveland team should keep trusting him and putting him on the floor for 20-30 minutes each night.
From a fantasy perspective, Prince doesn't have a super high ceiling, but getting someone who can hit multiple threes per night while also giving you a handful of rebounds and assists is good. That he's also added some decent numbers in terms of steals and blocks and hasn't turned the ball over more than once in any game since his Cavs debut helps things out as well.
Managers in shallower leagues can probably find a shooter on the wire who gives them a little more in a category or two, but in a 14-team league, Prince is a serviceable addition right now.
