The Wire Troll: Gary Neal Replaces Bradley Beal

/ Basketball, The Wire Troll

This Australian veteran has the right Spurs mentality — sacrificing for the greater good, so you didn’t hear any moaning when injuries and team depth saw him take a back seat last season after looking like he was on the cusp of a breakout in 2013-14. This season, however, Mills is seeing more action than ever, so he needs to be on the radar of owners in deeper leagues as a solid backcourt depth option. This week, at the very least, he may make for a solid pickup in standard sized leagues, too.

The Wire Troll: Kris Versteeg Leading Rising Hurricanes

The Flames are one of a few teams previously expected to contend that are now reeling near the bottom of the standings. Still, there have been some pleasant surprises, including the production of Frolik, who has three goals, 11 points, a minus-1 rating, two penalty minutes, 43 shots on goal, 13 hits and 16 blocked shots through 15 games. He should be a little more productive and consistent than Versteeg, so he’s worth giving a PTO on your team, so to speak.

The Wire Troll: John Henson Returns With a Vengeance

/ Basketball, The Wire Troll

This season, McDermott may see time at both the three and four and he earned his first career start on Thursday. We’re starting to see his offensive skills, with back-to-back double digit scoring games earlier this week (including a five-trey show on Tuesday) and he’s being rewarded with more PT (26.5 MPG over the last two). The fact that Bulls won the game that McBuckets started bodes well for more. Grab him now.

The Wire Troll: Dale Weise Breaks Out For Habs

We seem to include Nielsen in our listings every October or November and then, as soon as we hit “publish,” he instantly stops producing. *Facepalm* We’re willing to take that risk, because he’s been just too good to ignore. Through 11 games played, Nielsen has five goals, nine points, a power play goal, 31 shots on goal, six hits and 13 blocked shots. Knowing our luck, that’s now all he’ll get for the season.

The Wire Troll: Marvin Williams is Double-Double Trouble

/ Basketball, The Wire Troll

Young is being very productive as a scoring threat off the Laker bench early on, averaging 15.5 points with 3.5 treys per game. Toss in three steals on Friday and he gets even more intriguing, but we’d like to see him getting closer to 25 MPG before completely going crazy here, so for now he’s only recommended in, say, 14-team or larger leagues.
