Fantasy tips, Round 15: Hidden gems and big upside
Fantasy Challenge
3 Minutė skaityti
We are just four rounds away from the end of the BKT EuroCup Regular Season and, of course, it is also a critical time in the EuroCup Fantasy Challenge. A lot of teams are fighting for big goals, especially a top-two finish in their groups to advance directly to the quarterfinals, as well as a top-six finish to keep challenging for EuroCup glory.
I rank 470th overall in the EuroCup Fantasy Challenge, which is more than 98.5% of all teams. Maybe not as good as my colleague Frankie Sachs, who is sixth overall, but my advice should be pretty good. Here we go!
Yogi Ferrell, Buducnost VOLI Podgorica (13.8 credits)
Yogi Ferrell is seen as a fun-to-watch scoring guard who can be unstoppable at times. Well, think again. Ferrell narrowly missed a triple-double last week with 10 points, 8 rebounds and 10 assists against Lietkabelis. He's had PIRs of at least 18 in each of his last four games. That's the consistency you look for.
Tyler Cavanaugh, Bahcesehir College Istanbul (12.4 credits)
Bahcesehir has lost some games here and there lately, but Tyler Cavanaugh has been rock-solid. In his last three games, Cavanaugh has averaged 13.0 points on 9-of-10 two-point shooting and 4-of-7 on three-pointers plus 6.3 rebounds for a PIR of 17.3. That is a jump from his season averages (10.5 ppg., 5.0 rpg., 12.8 PIR). Buy him now!
Adam Mokoka, Cosea JL Bourg-en-Bresse (11.9 credits)
What I like about Adam Mokoka is that you don't need him to score a lot to get a good PIR. In Round 13, Mokoka scored only 8 points, but added 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 steals for a PIR of 19. Last week, he had 15 points and added 7 rebounds and 6 fouls drawn for a PIR of 24. Very good value at 11.9 credits.
Paulius Danusevicius, Lietkabelis Panevezys (9.7 credits)
He has impressed with his highlight plays and Paulius Danusevicius is also putting up good numbers, especially in recent games. Over his last three games, Danusevicius has averaged 15.3 points on 16-of-23 two-point shooting, 6.0 rebounds and 1.0 block for a PIR of 17.7. He reached a PIR of 26 against Buducnost last week.
Tobias Jensen, ratiopharm ulm (9.1 credits)
Tobias Jensen may not be as cheap as he was at the start of the season (5.5 credits), but he still has a lot of value and hasn't stopped improving. He has scored in double digits in each of his last seven games. In the last four, he's averaged 14.0 points and 5.5 assists for a PIR of 17.5. The 21-year-old keeps delivering!
