REST OF SEASON VALUE

There are 21 guards owned in 100% of leagues and Zach LaVine is projected to be the #15 among them. Using actual fantasy production and current start percentage as the first and second tie-breaker, his market rank is #8. The projections expect his value to decrease. He is projected for 2265 fantasy points in 68 remaining games. His projected average FP rank is the same as his rest of season total rank. The market ranks Zach LaVine behind Oladipo and above Curry but the projections rank Curry over Zach LaVine. Out of 7 major fantasy categories he ranks significantly lower in 4 categories than his overall fantasy point ranking and these are relative weaknesses. His strength is scoring, and if he could improve from 3pt range his value would increase. But sharing the ball and accumulating defensive stats need improvement.
