This is part two of a brief series of fantasy basketball to reality stats with the top five members of the 10 man rotation. Check out Part 1 to see the first five member piece. This part will include another category to be named “Stretch” which is a breakout expectation if all goes well.

Last Season – 44% FG 32 % 3P 62% FT 9.2 Pts 4.2 Rebs .9 Blks in 21.3 Mins
ESPN Fantasy Projection – 11.4 Pts 5.2 Rebs 1 Blk in 25 Mins

‘Quese had an All-Rookie Year in 2016-17 and looks to build upon that this season. The team needs him to step up to continue forward progress in the youth movement.

Reasonable Projection – 45% FG 35% 3P 65% FT 12.1 Pts 4.9 Rebs 1.1 Blks in 25 Mins
Goal – 47% FG 35% 3P 67% FT 12.5 Pts 5.9 Rebs 1.3 Blks in 30 Mins
Middle Ground – 46% FG 34% 3P 66% FT 12.3 Pts 5.4 Rebs 1.2 Blks in 27 Mins

Post All-Star Break, Chriss shot 49% FG and 37% 3P averaging 12.7 Pts on 9.6 FGA with 5.9 Rebs and 1.4 Blks. It’d be very productive and possible to build on this and take say another couple shots per contest.

Stretch – 49% FG 37% 3P 67% FT 14.3 Pts 6.5 Rebs 1.5 Blks
