The Wire Troll: Noah Vonleh Establishing Himself as Building Block for Knicks

/ Basketball, The Wire Troll

Need a big that can contribute some points and plenty of treys? Hernangomez could be your man. On Thursday, he went off for 23 points in 29 minutes, nailing five treys with four boards, two blocks and a steal. Hernangomez’s shooting from downtown is so vastly improved this season that he’s worth considering. He’s become more valuable each season since going 15th overall in 2016, and if he starts regularly getting 20 MPG or more, he’s ready to break out.

Allen has been providing some serious “juice” in Memphis recently (take in what we did there), with his most notable performance being a double-double (10 points, 15 rebounds, two steals and a block) against the Celtics Sunday. It’s not clear how long he’ll posing in front of the Grizzlies’ injured backcourt, but based on his recent production; he’s worth taking advantage of – especially for those steals (14 over the five game stretch). Go drink some Allen’s juice now.

The Wire Troll: Mario Chalmers Growling in Grizzlyland

/ Adrian Wallace, Basketball, The Wire Troll

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.

For a player that has played on eight teams in just four seasons, Smith might have finally found a home in Philadelphia. As a starter for the 76ers, he’s averaging 15 points and seven assists while shooting 47 per cent from downtown. Smith isn’t a flashy pick up, but could be an under the radar pick to help you win your league.

The Wire Troll: Jason Richardson is Back

/ Basketball, McCade Pearson, The Wire Troll

After not playing in the NBA for over two years due to injury, Richardson is back on the court and starting to look like his old self. In 11 games he has averaged 12 points, four boards and a steal while shooting 38 per cent from deep and 90 per cent from the line. J-Rich is sitting out Saturday for rest, so he isn’t all the way back. But when he plays he is worth something.
