BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 9% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Now they are improving, now they are not. Now they look good, now they do not. It's the Wolves season for you, just in case. One thing has stayed the same for a bunch of weeks now, though, and that's Kyle Anderson starting games nightly for Minny, a run that started all the way back on December 7 and that has stayed the same since then.
That doesn't mean Anderson has started every Wolves game (he missed time from December 18 to December 30) but he's started all games he's played since that day (and another one on November 30 before coming off the pine on December 3).
Slow Mo might not be the quickest guy out there but he's a steady producer. Anderson is putting up 20+ FPPG nightly and he's done so in all games from New Year's Eve on. He's actually averaging a few more points than those overall, sitting at an average of 28 FPPG in the same span, including a 43-DKFP explosion back on January 2 when he lit up the Nuggets to the tune of 19 points (three 3-pointers made), four boards, eight dimes, and three steals.
Anderson is adept at shooting the ball at gaudy percentages (49/39/78 season-long splits on a low-volume six FGA per game, one of just 26 players doing it in the NBA) and his 4+ RPG and 3.5+ APG are also good for what he is asked to do in a team full of "fake superstars" and ball-hogging lads.
The blocks and the steals are a surprisingly steady bonus, too, with KA swatting at least one shot in his last five games and stealing 1+ SPG over the full season.
