Luke Ridnour has not been playing well lately despite being on the end of some heavy duty minutes.
Analysis: Luke Ridnour is shooting just 38% from the field with only two three pointers made in his last five games. Ridnour is only averaging 9.0 points per game in that five game span despite playing over thirty minutes per game. Ridnour’s fantasy strength will always be as a point guard but his assist totals have been on the decline. Ridnour recorded five six or more assist games in his first seventeen contests but has zero in his last six games. His minutes remain high but he isn’t seeing much time at the point and even when he does, he’s just not producing.
Ricky Rubio is negating Luke Ridnour’s fantasy point guard numbers as well as the recent return of Jose Juan Barea. Between Rubio and Barea you cannot expect many assists going forward from Ridnour. He’s essentially a shooting guard now who isn’t a lock for ten points on a given night. He’s still owned in more than half of fantasy leagues but it’s just about time to bail on Ridnour.
