Bones Hyland

Bones made a bold move when he asked to be traded from the Denver Nuggets last season, and it was one of the biggest mistakes any player made all season. Not only did Denver win a championship, but Hyland lost a backup point guard job with the Nuggets and wasn't a consistent part of the rotation after his trade to the Clippers. His volatility did not play well for coach Tyronn Lue. In his final 14 games of the year with the Clips, Hyland averaged 10.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.9 threes across 19 minutes a night. The frustrating thing is that Bones is a talented player, averaging 16.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, 7.0 assists and 1.3 steals in a four-game stretch near the end of the season. We all know he can go off at times, but he's not going to be a fantasy-relevant player unless this rotation thins out. Paul George and Kawhi Leonard dominate the usage, while Russell Westbrook, Norman Powell and Terance Mann need backcourt touches as well. That has made the Clippers a difficult team to trust over recent years, and we won't see Hyland play more than 20 minutes as long as this team is fully healthy.
