Devonte' Graham is worth considering as a fantasy basketball waiver wire pickup heading into Week 20 of the 2022-23 NBA season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 7% of leagues
ANALYSIS: The Spurs sold the house before the deadline, acquiring veteran Devonte' Graham in the process. It is funny because DG is just 28 years old, but he's one (the third) of the oldest members of the current squad present in San Antonio each and every game.
Graham's deal with the Spurs runs until 2025, so there is a chance he gets moved once more by SAS if their timelines don't quite fit going forward. That, of course, will only happen from next summer on, so rest assured Graham will still cook ROS when given the chance, whether that's starting or coming off the pine, considering the awfulness of this Spurs roster.
Since arriving from NOLA, Graham has appeared in 10 games with San Antonio, scoring 10+ points in all but one and averaging a much better 15+ points on a per-game basis. He's hit at least one three-point shot in 15 consecutive games, and he's averaged a ridiculous 3.3 3PM per game in SAS.
Other than scoring, Graham is rather nice (for the guard he is and the role he boasts in the Spurs context) on the boards (2.5+ RPG) and assisting buckets (4+ APG). The turnovers are always at none, one, or two, so he pretty much doubles or triples the AST:TO ratio nightly.
The minutes are going to sit around the 25-to-28 clip ROS, but that's more than enough for a fantasy asset doing it off the pine these days as he's putting up 1.01 FP/min since he got traded to Texas.
