He stands 7′ 4″  and weighs 290 pounds. Each hand is 10.75 inches long and 12 inches wide. The size of his hands are more impressive than the 7′ 4″ and 290 pounds for some reason. Do you realize how big 12 inch wide hands are? Go get a ruler. Now place the left edge of the ruler to the edge of your left hand. Exactly. He can dunk without jumping. He battles John Wick and gets in more than a few decent blows in….before getting munched with a book in the mouth. When on the court in a NBA game, though, he does all the munching. You don’t mess with the Boban:

In 23 minutes, a season high! Now, the game was a blowout, so Boban got run. Normally, he doesn’t get much playing time because he can’t be effective in the modern game of pace and space. The first person who figures out how to time travel, better have taking Boban back to the 1950s as priority number one. Let’s see how George Mikan deals with a little Boban in his life. Anyways, Boban obviously isn’t fantasy worthy due to the few minutes he receives. He’s a circus act, but it’s always nice to give him a shout out and watch exactly how dominant he could be if basketball players didn’t have to actually run around.

Here’s what else I saw last yesterday:

 

The Pelicans got their wings clipped, 84-130 in Dallas. Beep. Boop. Bop. You know what never gets clipped? The Stocktonator. As a result, no one scored more than 15 points and no player received more than 27 minutes of run. Y’all know what comes next, right? New Orleans, no blurbs for you!!!

Mario with the D has been balling out without DeAndre Ayton and Aron Baynes. Over the past seven games, he’s been a top 50 player. 13.1 points, 1.7 tres, 9.9 boards, 0.9 blocks, 46% shooting from the field, and 94% from the line. The boards have been the biggest surprise, as he’s usualy in the 6-7 range. When Ayton and Baynes return, Mario with the D will go back to being outside the top 100.

Ricky Rubio

PTS REB AST STL BLK TOV 3PT FG FT
10 6 13 0 1 4 0/4 5/16 4/7

Played a team-high 41 minutes. Rubio is third in all of basketball with 8.7 dimes per game. Not bad for one of the last meaningful dime-providing point guards drafted.

Devin Booker

PTS REB AST STL BLK TOV 3PT FG FT
35 4 5 1 0 1 2/4 11/19 11/16

He’s heating up. Scratch that. He’s on fire!!! Over the past four games, Booker is averaging 29.8 points, 3 tres, 4.8 boards, 5.8 dimes, and 1 steal while shooting 51% from the field and 81% from the line. That’s been good for top 25 production. It’s been an interesting career arc for Booker. Coming into this season, he had improved the points and dimes every season. In terms of fantasy finishes, he’s gone from 204 to 127 to 48 and 42 last season. Currently, he’s the 29th player. Does the trend keep continuing to the top 10 station?

Mikal Bridges

PTS REB AST STL BLK TOV 3PT FG FT
14 5 1 1 0 3 1/1 5/5 3/4

In 20 minutes off the bench. The minutes, usage, and production have all increased over the past few weeks. Still, at around 20 minutes per game, it’s not worth it unless you’re desperate for steals. He’s been shooting close to 60% recently. Expect that to regress in a bad way.

Russell Westbrook

PTS REB AST STL BLK TOV 3PT FG FT
24 14 11 3 2 4 1/3 10/18 3/4

Russ has now messed around in three straight games. On the season, he’s messed around eight times. Now, even though he’s AVERAGED a trip-dub over the past three games, that’s only been good for the 61st player in fantasy. Why? 32% shooting from the field and 5.7 turnovers. Those are good for the pastry shop but terrible for fantasy.

James Harden

PTS REB AST STL BLK TOV 3PT FG FT
34 6 4 3 1 0 3/17 8/27 15/18

Harden has been learning the wrong things from Russ. He’s been shooting 34% from the field over the past three games. Now, unlike Russ, Harden has been the #1 player for fantasy over that time. Why? 2.7 turvoers and 93% shooting from the line on a whopping 16 attempts! I am so Harden excited right now.

Ben McLemore

PTS REB AST STL BLK TOV 3PT FG FT
27 2 0 1 0 4 5/9 10/15 2/2

Came off the bench but still played 30 minutes. As long as Eric Gordon is out, McLemore is going to get plenty of run and jack up a ton of shots. Over the past three games, he’s MADE 5.3 tres per game! Unfortunately, he’s a 3-and-nothing-else player.

Domantas Sabonis

PTS REB AST STL BLK TOV 3PT FG FT
19 15 2 1 2 5 0 8/11 3/5

Sabonis is a slight negative in the defensive categories and he doesn’t contribute tres. With that said, he’s a stud in the points, boards, and percentages. He also dishes out close to four dimes per game. Arvydas would be proud to see his son putting up top 45 numbers.

T. J. Warren

PTS REB AST STL BLK TOV 3PT FG FT
25 4 0 1 1 1 2/5 10/19 3/4

Warren is a nice source of points, tres, percentages, and will get his 211 on on occasion. Unfortunatley, he doesn’t do much else and the biggest worry is injury. He’s never played more than 66 games in a season, with three seasons in the 40s. So far in 2019, Warren has played 23 games.

Aaron Holiday

PTS REB AST STL BLK TOV 3PT FG FT
12 4 5 0 0 2 2/6 4/12 2/2

T. J. McConnell

Also played 20 minutes and supersized the McBuckets. Like the McRib, available for a limited time only.

Julius Randle

PTS REB AST STL BLK TOV 3PT FG FT
16 12 3 1 0 1 0/1 6/18 4/6

You’d think that Randle and Sabonis were similar fantasy assets because they both provide points, boards, and dimes. Well….Randle is outside the top 250 on the season. No defensive stats, and the percentages are shit (43% from the field and 66% from the line).

Marcus Morris Sr.

PTS REB AST STL BLK TOV 3PT FG FT

Frank Ntilikina

Mitchell Robinson

PTS REB AST STL BLK TOV 3PT FG FT
14 7 1 2 3 1 0 6/9 2/2

Played 25 minutes off the bench. Still baffled at that, but at least he’s getting run. Congrats to all of you who scooped Robinson off the wire. It’s reminiscent of the Housing Crash of 2006. You could buy 2000 square feet homes near Detroit for a few thousand dollars. Now, Mitchell Robinson’s neighborhood was much better than those, but the way people were discarding him to the waiver wire, you would’ve thought he was Detroit-esque.

The 76ers imparted some good old American freedom upon the Cavaliers, 141-94. Kevin Love only played 20 minute and scored 6 points as a result. Darius Garland was the only player to receive over 30 minutes of run. He played 31 minutes and provided 17 points, 5 boards, and 3 dimes. For the rest of the Cavs? No blurbs for you!!!

Mike Scott

Great Scott!!! Received the start because Joel Embiid did not play the front end of a back-to-back.

Ben Simmons

PTS REB AST STL BLK TOV 3PT FG FT
34 3 7 2 2 1 1/1 12/14 9/12

In 26 minutes! No BS here. Or maybe it was all BS. His second tres of the season and he drained his free throws. I’ve been watching Watchmen, so maybe there were some interdimensional disturbances yesterday. On the season, Simmons is a top 40 player, but over the past three games, he’s been top 20. 6.7 boards, 8.4 dimes, 2.4 steals, and 56% shooting from the field are so lovely. Definitely ain’t no bs with those. If he could ever improve upon the 58% shooting from the free throw line then…..it’d be all about BS.

JJJ has stuffed the stat sheet in three consecutive games.

He’s going to be a good one. JJJ can shoot from the rooftops, while protecting the streets of downtown.

With Ja Morant out, the point guard situation went like this:

Tyus Jones

Continues to start with Mike Conley out and played 27 minutes. ‘Tis the season for Jingles. When Conley returns, though, Jingles will get packed into the boxes and get shoved into the corner of the garage.

Emmanuel Mudiay
