Bulls guard Tomas Satoransky is a worthy consideration as a fantasy basketball waiver wire pickup heading into Week 13 of the NBA season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 20% of leagues
ANALYSIS: The Bulls have changed their approach to games. In the last three matches through Thursday they flipped starters Coby White and Wendell Carter Jr. for Tomas Satoransky and Thaddeus Young and they went away with a 2-1 positive record. Sato, who has started only those three games this season yet has played in 28 already, was excellent both on a per-minute basis and in total, counting statistitcs.
Prior to this three-game span, Satoransky had only a couple of games of 30+ FP in the year. Of the last three games, two of them went for 33 and 31 FP against Toronto and OKC with Sato scoring 10+ points in those two while dishing out 7 dimes in each. In fact, Satoransky's line as a starter has gone all the way up to 10-3-7-1 compared to his prior 7-2-4 in the 25 games as a pine rider.
Whether Chicago will keep Satoranksy on instead of Coby to start games is yet to be seen, but odds are he at least retains the larger dose of minutes he's been played lately. If that's the case, Sato should be considered a fine addition for those managing deep-league squads. The Bulls might think about trading some veterans before the deadline, too, which will open the door even more for Satoransky to bulk up his nightly lines.
