Fantasy Analysis
Udrih missed one game with the hand injury and returned with one of his better scoring efforts in a while on Wednesday. Udrih doesn't get a ton of minutes, but has been making the most of them when healthy. However, Udrih remains merely a reserve guard for the Bucks and therefore should only be owned in the deeper formats when healthy. (Updated 04/04/2012).
04/25/2012 22:33 76ers win, stay in contention for 7 seed
Evan Turner scored a career-high 29 points and the Philadelphia 76ers got a victory while resting some key players for the playoffs, beating the Milwaukee Bucks 90-85 on Wednesday night.
Beno Udrih is coming off his best season in the NBA. The seven-year veteran averaged career-highs across the board, including points (13.7), assists (4.9), rebounds (4.9) and field-goal percentage (50.0 percent). He averaged nearly 35 minutes a night for the Kings and seemed to thrive under the tutelage of Paul Westphal . However, Udrih now finds himself in the Eastern Conference for the first time in his career as he was part of the three-team trade made on Draft Day that landed him in Milwaukee. While it has yet to be decided, the Bucks may use Udrih alongside Brandon Jennings, which would be much like his situation in Sacramento when he played with Tyreke Evans and Marcus Thornton at times. However, Scott Skiles could use the 29-year-old off the bench, opting to use Jackson in the backcourt with Jennings. Either way, Udrih might have a hard time duplicating his success from a season ago. Milwaukee is much more of a grind-it-out team, which likes to set its offense in the half-court and work everything through the post. That is a far cry from the more free-flowing offense out in Sacramento. He most likely can be counted on to give Fantasy owners around 10 points a night to go along with five or six assists and a steal. Until his role becomes more clearly defined, Udrih can be considered a low-end Fantasy option, worth taking with a late-round pick in standard formats. Although, Udrih’s ability to fill up a box score makes his value a little higher in category-based formats. (Updated 8/28/11)
