ADVICE

Buy Butler On Short-Term Slumps

  • Do target Jimmy Butler as a buy-low if managers panic about a short slump or injury risk.
  • Acquire him cheaply while he's around top-60 value because his steals and FT% should normalize.
INSIGHT

Jackson Jr.'s Slump Is Part Role, Part Noise

  • Jaren Jackson Jr.'s current slump looks worse than it will be long term, but his role and team style have changed.
  • Expect improvements in threes, blocks, and free throws even if his usage stays lower than past seasons.
ADVICE

Pick Up Turner When Owners Panic

  • Do not drop Myles Turner during his minutes and finishing slump; target him cheaply if others panic.
  • Expect rebounds, two-point attempts, and rim finishing to rebound once coaching and minutes settle.
