The Wire Troll: Mario Chalmers Starting For Memphis

/ Basketball, The Wire Troll

Yes, Simmonds hurt his quad and may not play Saturday, but it’s hard to overlook the 14 shots he put up in just 24 minutes on Friday. If he can get to the line a bit more often, it feels like he’s on the cusp of a breakout. Simmonds’s touches are down this month, so that’s why Friday’s effort buoyed our hopes. We can see him becoming one of the better sixth men for the remainder of the season, especially given his improved shooting.

The Grizzlies acquired Super Mario Tuesday in a trade with the Heat. Since his debut in Memphis, that’s exactly what he’s been – superb. In just 21 minutes per game over the last three contests, Chalmers has scored double digits, including a 29-point performance Tuesday against the Thunder. We repeat — against the Thunder. He clearly didn’t fear Oklahoma’s defensive roar as he attacked the paint and received 15 free throw attempts (canning 13). Chalmers will hit treys, get to the line and a hit a ton of free throws for your team.

Sullinger is shooting an impressive .526 from the floor and .864 from the charity stripe. In his last three games, he has registered 17.3 points per game including 26 on Friday against Portland – a great sign after he had missed the previous game with a knee injury. Sprinkle in seven rebounds per contest over this stretch and you have a productive Fantasy power forward.

Chalmers has made it known that he intends to lead the league in steals and his 2.5 per game average is certainly impressive. In addition, Super Mario is averaging 5.2 assists. The fact that he’s 12-for-22 (55 per cent) from three-point land should motivate owners even further. Oh, and it doesn’t hurt that he’s a tough dude, as you can see from the video below.
