BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 8% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Always keep an eye on under-the-radar, low-maintenance players widely available out there, folks. The Thunder tanking effort has been sublime, as OKC has gone a stupid 1-19 in their past 20 games going all the way back to Apr. 2. LOL. That some stinking run right there. Do we hate it, though? No, sir! Ty Jerome might not strike you as the must-have player for the remaining week of games. Jerome is just a second-unit player for these Thunder, which doesn't speak greatly of his situation, but he's been a magnificently efficient player in the past couple of weeks.
Jerome has played six games from Apr. 26 on averaging 23 MPG off the pine. Those minutes are bulked up a bit because of an outlier of a game against Philly in which he played 31 minutes, but that's not the point to highlight here. The important thing is that even on such a diminished role, Jerome has been able to average 26 FP in those six games while putting up a perfectly palatable 1.09 FP/min mark. Just for reference, the league is averaging 0.90 FP/min, which is around 20% fewer points per minute on the court. Not bad.
The Thunder have five more games on their schedule starting with two this weekend against OKC and Sacto, and facing the Kings, Jazz, and Clippers to close the year. Jerome has shot the rock out of his mind with a 56% shooting from the floor, a ridiculous 71.2 TS%, and he's hitting treys with gusto at 2.6 3PG in the past six and 2.4 in the last 15 games with at least 1+ triple in each of those matches.
