Free Agent Roundup

 Just checking in with the best (in my humble opinion) free agents going into this weekend

  1. Luke Kennard - Grizzlies are still putrid and Nard Dog has been putting up serious minutes (never under 21 this year so far) and good production, giving us fantasy points of 31 and 28 in his last two
  2. Jordan Hawkins - With CJ McCollum out for somewhere around three weeks with his second collapsed lung, Hawkins has started the last two games. He's the definition of an expiring asset, as his timer has already started, but he put up 31 real life points the other night
  3. Sam Hauser - With Pritchard garnering a lot of hate for starting the year like shit, Hauser has picked up the white boy mantle for the Celtics. His minutes have been holding steady around 20 per night, and he's put up 30 fantasy points twice in the last four games
  4. Malachi Flynn - The Raptor's backup PG has been the picture of consistency this year. His last four games in fantasy points: 18, 18, 20, 21
  5. Simone Fontecchio - Walker Kessler is out at least three weeks, and the Jazz are being Jazzy about it. Last night they started Keyonta George and just bumped everybody down a spot, pushing John Collins to the 5. I don't think that's particularly sustainable, but regardless of how they handle it, Fontecchio has entered the fray. Last night he got 19 fantasy points in 18 minutes
  6. Nickeal Alexander-Walker - NAW didn't fly out of the gate like I thought he would, but he's put up a very regular run of games lately, giving us 21, 18, and 19 fantasy points
  7. Bilal Coulibaly - One of my favorite rookies (a quick shoutout to Ausar Thompson, my number one favorite rookie) is averaging more minutes than Daniel Gafford, the Wizard's starting center. His fantasy upside is a little low, but he seems incapable of bottoming out. Removing the Spiders Georg of his second game, he hasn't gotten fewer than 13 fantasy points, and he's put up 17+ in five games
  8. Julian Strawther - With Jamal Murray out an indeterminate amount of time, you could take a flyer on Strawther. Malone doesn't like to play his young guys, but he doesn't have much of a choice now. In his last two games he has 30 and 0 fantasy points, hahaha good luck
  9. Kris Murray - And you thought Strawther was a flyer. If you're at the desperation point and you just wanna take a big swing, rookie Murray is primed for some playing time. With Timelord, Simons, and Scoot all out, minutes are freely available to good young shooters
