  Speaker 1: back to another episode of the Hustle Sports Fantasy Podcast.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Look, I'm your boy T. Will.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: You already know we here to get a dub. Yeah,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: I almost killed myself. Look, you already know we here
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: to get a dub, man. I'm here to give y'all
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: 10 fantasy players that I believe is about to explode,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: about to go crazy. Jump on the bandwagon before it
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: gets too late. Look, the season is underway. We already
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: seeing players outperform expectations.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Ty Jerome, like one of them. Look, but this is
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: for the points league.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: This is for my points guys out there, points league
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: managers out there, bro. We ain't chasing the categories today.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: But you can find some gems in the category leagues
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: with this list, too. Look, we looking into everything. The
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: scoring system, points, assists, steals, blocks.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: We looking at everything. People who Look like they ready
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: to break out.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Without further ado, man, let's go jump into it, bro,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: because he got a young bull. I ain't gonna lie, bro. Hey,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: I love this guy's game. Love his game. Darius A.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Keff Jr. from the Sacramento Kings. High volume rookie. Look,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: he getting a lot of opportunity. I'm seeing Zach Levine
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: trust him. Like, offensively, He is doing his thing now.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: You know, if he could get, you know, the efficiency
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: down pat, he going.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: To be all right.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: And that's the only thing I think the missing piece
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: is the efficiency. Right now, his shot attempts are at 24, bro,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: getting them up there. And then I saw a clip, too,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: where Draymond Green was pulling him to the side and
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: started talking to him. And he said he asked him,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: you know, how many people touch the ball on a possession? Like,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: when you got, like, OGs, vets trying to give you game,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Let you know how to be a pro. Stuff like that, bro,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: work wonders. You can't put a value on that. It's
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: like it's hard to measure that, bro. It's just really
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: hard to measure that. And with A-Cup Jr., bro, the
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: volume is there already. The trust is there already. The
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Kings brought him in to turn the franchise around. And
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: look what he's doing over the season, bro. He's averaging
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: 22 points, 4.7 assists, and then he's getting the block.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: So like I say, when that efficiency come in, I
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: ain't worried about Acuff Jr. And if you got him,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: by the end of the year, you may be.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Playing for a championship.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: And if you don't have him, you looking to make
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: a move and shake your roster, Acuff Jr. is a
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: name I definitely would try to get. Now, you may
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: have trouble trying to get him because everybody not sleep.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: But look, if you have him, hold him. Hold him.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: There's Acuff Jr. Next up, man, my dog from the Mavs.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Hold on. I always got to show that sign back there. Oh, yeah,
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: there we go. There we go. Yeah, P.J. Washington, man. Look,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: I ain't going to lie.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: When we got P.J., I feel like he really changed
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: our season that year.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: That's the year we went to the finals and got
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: dog walked by Boston. We all know. But, look, P.J.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Washington, bro, he's a vet's vet, bro. He's been consistent.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: He does what he does. He's been doing it for
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: a little minute now, too. Very consistent. Look, 23% roster,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: so he's widely available in leagues out there. He is producing.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: He's the type of player that can help you win matchups.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: He can help you get a dub because you know
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: we are here to get a dub. My boy averaging 15.5
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: so he can score.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: He can knock down a three. He rebound. He averaging 7.5 rebounds.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Look, bro, 23% roster, and he averaging 28.5 fantasy points
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: over the course of the season. That's hard to come by.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: That's hard to come by. And as the year goes later, bro,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: it's going to be even harder to find 28 and
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: a half.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: I promise you. Like I say, he averaged 15 and
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: a half points, seven and a half rebounds. And he
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: gets you a block. He established.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: He a vet you could trust. I would say he's
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: a priority, a priority waiver ad. And if you have
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: him on your roster like this guy do, I will hold.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: I'm going to be honest. I will hold. I'll wait
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: to see. Now, the only thing I.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Will say is PJ can't miss some time from here,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Every now and then. So watch for that.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: But based on the production of what he's done so
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: far this season, he is a strong hold if you
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: rostered him. If you wanted a 23% that ain't sleep,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: you roster him, hold him. And if you wanted a
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: 77 that's still looking for somebody, go get him.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Priority.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Chris Dunn. You know, it's funny. This is one of
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: my favorite ones on the list, favorite players on the list.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: The reason why He doing, look at this fantasy average, bro.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: He averaging 42.7 fantasy points over the course of the season.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that's going to hold up over
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: the whole season, but this is why I like this.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: He doing this and average 9.7 points. Like he's not
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: scoring like that, but see his production. You talk about
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: a sheet stuffer, this guy is it. Dude averages eating.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: But his size, his position, Outside of scoring, he is
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: elite at everything else down there. Bro, getting you 9.7 points.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: And this is the crazy thing about his stat line, too.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: League-wide analysis has placed Dunn 61st in points. And that
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: don't even tell the whole story. The reason why, like
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: I say, he averaged 9.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, 6 assists, 3.3 steals, dog. 3.3.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: know if he's going to hold that down the whole season,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: but the fact that he's able to get three is crazy.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: And he gets you 1.3 blocks, bro. Add him in
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: deeper formats. You have him in a league like I
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: was this 12 man.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Hold him.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: You put 42.7 out there on the waiver wire, you
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: best believe I'm putting in a claim and he's going
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: to be on my roster as soon as that claim
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: goes through. Hopefully I'm the only one that's looking because
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: look at this guy, bro. 42% roster, and he's getting 42.7
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: points a game. Y'all sleep out there. Don't do that.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Don't do that. That's the easiest way to give up
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: easy does, man. Go get this guy. Brandon Miller, man. Look,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: this is why they traded LaMelo. Miles Bridges started the
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: new regime, started the new era in Charlotte. Brandon Miller
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: is the next level scorer. We expected him to take
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: that next step. He's not unknown. He's not a prospect.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: We expected you to go to stardom. You know what
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: I'm saying? We watching for a high jump in that
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: fantasy production. They missing key contributors, but right now, over
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: the course of the season, Brandon Miller is having a go.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: 24.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, and a one and a half assists, 1.3 steals.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Not an assist I ain't in love with, but the 1.3
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: steals and the 1.3 blocks.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Love that. Love that.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Doing that from the wing position, getting you crazy scoring,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: a decent rebound.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: And then last season, he averaged.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Close to four assists. So that one and a half
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: assists may not be there that long.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: He is a decent playmaker, at least up until this
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: point in his career, he's been a decent playmaker. I
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: wonder how much of that is affected by LaMelo Ball
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: being there last season and not being there this season.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: But the fantasy managers, my opinion, need to ask, does
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: this production remain When everybody comes back, when Charlotte gets
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: completely healthy, that's Kobe White, that's Conn Knipple. When they
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: come back and they get completely healthy, what does that
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: look for? I don't know. I think he's going to
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: sustain it. I mentioned him in the offseason. That's why
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: they traded LaMelo. Miles Bridges is why they got rid
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: of them so they could build around Brandon Miller and
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Conn Knipple. For me, if you're Brandon, Brandon, slow down.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: You're a Brandon Miller fantasy manager.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Hold. Hold. Hold. Man, you see it? You see it?
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: You see the manager who got him? The manager of
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Luka Vandross. Caleb Wilson, dog. You was able to draft
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: this guy. You was early on him. You trying to
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: trade for him now?
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: It's too late. It's too late.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Look, he ain't even had a super efficient game yet.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: He's averaging 34 fantasy points. Look at these minutes, dog. 33.8,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: getting major minutes.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Major.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: He's forcing his way when it comes to offensive production.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: And Chicago need that. I've seen them a couple times
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: this season. They was getting killed in both games that
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: I saw. I didn't watch all the games, but the
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: halves that I watched of the game, they were getting killed.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Norman Powell was trying to hold it down by itself.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: But as that proved, one score is just not enough.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Caleb Wilson unguardable too.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Unguardable. Lanky can drive. Good rebounder. Good rebounder.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: So the opportunity is there for Caleb Wilson. And as
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: we know with rookies, it becomes a point in the
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: season where, yeah, they start out slow trying to figure
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: out the program or game. And at some point during
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: the course of the season, you can tell when it clicks.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: And then they start rolling. Like Cooper Flag last season.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: He started off tough early in the season. Part of
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: that was because kids, you know, put him at point.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Then you look towards the end of the year he
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: conned another one. Towards the end of the year, them
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: boys was rolling. I expect that to be the same
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: with Kyler Wilson. Look, he can know how to score.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: He's a professional scorer. Bro averaging 21 points. He's getting
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: you a little bit of everything. 21 points, 7.3 rebounds,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: getting 1.8, 1.5 blocks. I love that. a light stock
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: specialist for the category players out there too.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Hold.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Hold or buy. But I ain't going to lie. I
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: don't think you're going to be able to get a
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: trade on this. You got an overwhelming, not overwhelming, but
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: if you got a fair offer, somebody may entertain it.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: But the thing about fantasy, people like to offer stuff
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: like you're not paying attention to it. And that's disrespectful.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Also a little bit arrogant too. But that's neither here
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: nor there. Hold Caleb Wilson down. Buy if you can,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: but hold Caleb Wilson. Next up, another young bull, another
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: young bull. And what I like about these two players, hey, hold.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: On, hold on.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Manager of Luka Vandross got another young bull. Look at that.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: 30 fantasy points a game over the course of the season.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: 33 minutes, he's getting major burn, bro. The playmaking skill set.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: of Cam Boozer is showing why he's, and you know,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: him and Caleb Williams are a little different, but the
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: playmaking is showing why Cam Boozer is like that. Why
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: he's going to be super, he's going to be, man,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: he's going to have a crazy year in fantasy as
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: long as he stays healthy. Through four games, he averaging
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: 15 points, just under 15. It's actually 14.8 if you
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: want to be technical for my exact people out there.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: 10 rebounds.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: 4.8 assists. I go five. Five assists in four games, bro.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: You got a big who can get you five assists, bro.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: That's 10 points before you even get a turnover. And
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: let's say you don't have a turnover. Then he got scoring.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Then he got rebounding. Then he's going to get blocks.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Then he's going to get steals. So he's averaging a double-double.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: He don't need to score just to dominate a game.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: He's proven that. He had some big games already.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: Watch him.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: I did receive an offer for him. He not going, dog.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: He not going, dog. Strong, strong, strong. Oh, hey, rest
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: in peace to Pratt the Cat. Boy, I'm tripping today. Hey, look,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: that's a DJ from Alexandria, Louisiana.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: Strong, strong, strong.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Oh, my LA people will get that one. Look, Kambuza
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: is like that. Hold on to him. Ace Bailey from
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: the Utah Jazz, bro. The opportunity is blowing up for
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: him as we speak. In the last 36 to 48 hours,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Ace Bailey opportunity went from mid to something crazy. Look,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: against Memphis, he had 17 points, 10 rebounds, three assists,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: three blocks. Did that in 34 minutes. Now you talk
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: about no Jaron Jackson Jr. He's out until mid-December, I saw.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Laurie Markkinen, here we go again. He's day-to-day in one
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: league I have him. He's been listed as day-to-day. But
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: we don't know how that's going to go. You know
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: what I mean? Like, what if he more hurt than
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: the media knows or what we know? We're not sure.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: But those two injuries opened up so much space. Darren Peterson, too.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: He an honorable mention, I'll say. But Ace Bailey is
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: about to go crazy.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: Especially... Because Triple J is out for extended time. We
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: know that.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: So Ace Bailey going to get opportunity for sure. And
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: this is the guy that's going to pick up on
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: all that. So to me, he's going to explode. You
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: watch this. You got him. If you got him, hold.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: If you don't see 61% roster, which means 39% of
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: people sleep.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: I think it go 99.9. So let's go 38. 38%
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: of people.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: 38.8% for my exact people. 38% of people are asleep.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Go get this guy. He's a priority add. Triple J
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: injury creates so much opportunity for Ace Bailey. He's having
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: a good year so far. Averaging 13 and 8 for
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: the season through four games. Add Ace Bailey. Yaxo Lindenborg.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: This guy? I like the mindset. I like the mindset.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: You know, the fact that he was bold enough to
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: talk noise.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: To Luka, I love that. I love that.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: He wasn't starstruck. He wasn't, you know, fanboying.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: And don't get me wrong.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Ain't nothing wrong with showing appreciation for people that you
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: looked up to. But actually, it's encouraged.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: You should do that. Don't be a hater. But aside
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: from not being a hater, don't ever be a hater too,
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: by the way. Let me say it one more time.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: Don't ever be a hater.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: But aside from that, though, I just saw a clip
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: this morning, actually. He was getting interviewed, and he asked T-Mac,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Vince Carter, and Mello on camera, what can I do
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: to get better? What do y'all see in my game
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: that I can work on that I don't see?
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: And I love that because it shows humility.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Like, even though him talking noise to Luka, that might
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: rub some people the wrong way. But the fact that
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: he was willing to ask how to improve himself right
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: then and there on the spot shows humility. And it
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: put them players on the spot, too, to show how
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: they are, how they going to operate. You know what
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: I mean? They playing days over. What can they do
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: to help the next generation? But I love this dude.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Love the mindset. I feel like he bringing old school
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: basketball back. You're going to need more than one guy
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: to do that.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: But aside from the off the court stuff against Denver,
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: he averaged 31 points. Oh, not average.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: He got 31 points, 12 rebounds, six assists. That boy
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: had 55 fantasy points in that game. That's just from
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: three categories. You didn't even account for the field goal percentage.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: You know, missed shots, turnovers, defensive plays. But the key is, bro,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: look at that. 33.3 minutes a game, getting major burn,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: 40 fantasy points. 40 fantasy points, bro. I don't know
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: if that's sustainable for a rookie, but damn. The fact
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: that he's still 16% available is crazy, too, though.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: So if you in them.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Leagues was 16% available for this guy, go grab him.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: Stop playing. That should be 99 for sure. For sure.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: But the fact that he's proven that he can produce
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: without scoring 30, he can produce with scoring 30, and
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: then think about it.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: Go to state, go need them. They need them.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Especially until Jimmy get back in. We don't know if
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Jimmy's still the same Jimmy, but they need him. So
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: for me, if you a Yax or Lindenborg manager, you hold.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: Hold. Hold. Do not trade, though.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Or if you do trade, man, make sure you're getting
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: something comparable, bro. Don't just accept crackhead offers just because
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: you just want to do a deal and you want
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: to feel like a GM.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: No, don't do that. We ain't here for that. We
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: here to get a dud, bro. Yax or Lindenborg. Hold.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: Tumani Kamara from the Portland Trailblazers. Bro is averaging 32
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: fantasy points. He a waiver-wise sleeper, too. Look at that.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Look at that, bro. 41.6% roster, so he's right under
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: 60% available in a lot of leagues.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: He only getting 25 minutes a game.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: However, in 25 minutes, he averaging 18.5 points.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: 2.5 rebounds.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: I don't love the rebounds, but I don't think that's
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: where he going to end for the season. But you look,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: he averaging 32 points in this short amount of time.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: So we ain't looking for the biggest name. We looking
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: for dependability. Based on that, Kamara is going to explode.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: I love the makeup of Portland. They look exciting, too.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: They look exciting. They got wings for days. Now you
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: got floor spaces that can help open up the floor
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: for him.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Kamara is going to have a good season. I think
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: he's going to explode. Now, you know, there's some games
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: he get 30 minutes. And in those games, he's producing.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: So it's He has the opportunity to do what he do.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: That's why that 32 sitting right there in ESPN league.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: So that makes him especially attractive. He's a priority waiver
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: ad because he can contribute through scoring, rebounds, three pointers,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: defensive plays, steals, blocks. And then if you remember, steals
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: and blocks worth four points.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: In standard league. So that's eight. You get one in one.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: That's eight right there. Quick. All right. Off the bat.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: And that can happen on the same, same possession. So,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: The fantasy card for him, priority waiver ad, but I
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: think Kamara's going to have a big year. Last but
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: not least, A.J. Mitchell from the Oklahoma City Thunder. Bro, look, now,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: before I get into A.J. Mitchell's profile, I really hate that,
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: you know, prayers up to Kaysen Wallace and Jada Williams
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: had him there. And for whatever reason, why people like
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Showing other people snap their leg in half.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: That's weird.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Like why every sports site that I saw on the
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: socials was showing the injury.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: Like that's sick, bro. Y'all sick.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: Anyway, prayers up for Jada man. But he's out for
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: the year. Case and Wallace. I've seen conflicting reports. I've
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: seen stuff that he's going to be out for most
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: of the year, if not all. So the point being
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: is he's going to miss time, right?
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: And A.J. Miller... A.J.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Mitchell is going to be a beneficiary. The Thunder are
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: going to need somebody to help pick up the slack
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: that's left by them two. His role is changing, as
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: you know, as I just told you, for the injuries
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: that's happening, that happened to OKC.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: A.J. Mitchell, his role is changing. The opportunity is coming, bro.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: After that injury, he responded with 18.6 rebounds, four assists
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: against the Clippers. Then he scored 30 points. with five
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: assists against Phoenix. That's the type of production you're looking for.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: And look, he's 49% rostered. He's getting 24.8 minutes, and
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: that was with Case and Wallace and J-Dub playing. That's
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: definitely going to go up. Look at his numbers, 33.8
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: fantasy points for the season. Hard to find that type
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: of production out there on the waiver wire. I ain't
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: going to lie. After the first week, I think finding
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: a 30-point fantasy score is very difficult.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: Very difficult.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Nah, I ain't saying that it's impossible, but you can
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: definitely find it. So look, he's just under 51% roster,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: so he's still majority available.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Widely available.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Don't sleep, bro, because you know if you sleep, you
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: get beat.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: But for the course of the season, A.J.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Mitchell is averaging 16 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 2 steals.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: That's 8 points, I just told you. 2 steals.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: That makes the opportunity even greater If you got A.J.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Mitchell on your roster, this manager, the manager of Beast
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: Bullets not sleep.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: For me, A.J.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Mitchell is the priority add if you in that 51%.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: If you in that 49%, I try to work a deal.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: Try to work a deal. Try to go trade for
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: him because it's going to be tough. Look, them injuries
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: changed his value really quickly. So those are my 10
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: guys that I think are going to have A huge, huge,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: explosive season. I gave you a few of them. I
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: gave you Darius A. Cuff Jr., P.J. Washington, Brandon Miller.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: Who's number eight?
• 22:22

  Speaker 2: Cuff Jr., P.J. Washington, Chris Dunn.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: And remember, he not even averaging double figures, and he
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: going at 42.7, going crazy. Brandon Miller. Caleb Wilson, the
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: young bull. The young bull. Cameron Boozer, another young bull.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Ace Bailey.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: Yaxel Lindenboy. Tumani Kamara. A.J. Mitchell.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: Those are 10 names I gave y'all. who I think
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: are going to have a crazy year. Make sure y'all
• 23:09
