BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 39% of leagues
ANALYSIS: So it's now been 42 games for Patrick Beverley with 38 of them boasting Pats on the starting lineup. Can't ask for more, truth be told. Beverley is starting for a team full of top-heavy talent but not much depth, so being part of the first lineup helps him in terms of the environment he finds himself in, but it also hurts him in terms of actual opportunities/touches/chances at racking up points.
Beverley is averaging a 9-4-4-1-1 on the full season, doing a little bit of everything but not a lot of anything in particular. Thus, the deeper-format WW target with a 39% rostership instead of Bevs being a super play for those in shallower leagues. Beverley is also a little bit careless when it comes to not committing turnovers (1.3 TOPG), so he's a no-no for those in 9-cat leagues. All things considered, though, there is no reason to have Pat sitting on your deep-league WW anymore.
It'd be worth keeping an eye on how Bevs playing time changes going forward after he played only 19 minutes against Philly on Friday. He missed a bunch of games at the end of January but he seems to be back with 10 games already played in February. Bevs will give you the surefire 10+ points per game to go with good rebounds (4 RPG in February), nearly 4 APG, and sublime defense: he's stolen 1.2 possessions per game while swatting 0.9 shots a pop this month and over the full campaign. Must-roster-and-play guy if he keeps up his season-average 26+ MPG.
