Rondae Hollis-Jefferson

For the first time all season, Trevor Booker came off the bench to make way for Hollis-Jefferson, perhaps signaling that coach Kenny Atkinson may be inclined to take a longer look at his younger players during the second half of the season. Hollis-Jefferson made the most of the appointment to the top unit, pacing the team in scoring and rebounds, albeit with a team-high four turnovers. Hollis-Jefferson at least earned himself another start Friday against the Pacers, and with the 29-year-old Booker not viewed as a part of the team's long-term core, there's a good chance that the second-year forward will stick in the starting five permanently. Despite his spotty play this season, Hollis-Jefferson is worth a look in mid-sized and deeper leagues where available with the likelihood that his playing time will be on an upward trajectory going forward.
