Cory

Higgins

Cory is the son of Bobcats’ GM Rod Higgins. He may get some burn down the stretch, as the team has nothing to lose by turning loose their developing players, but we’re not anticipating fantasy value. This was only the fifth game he’s played in over the past six weeks.

Higgins was an undrafted free agent who played at Colorado, and he never had a realistic chance of making the roster.

The team also announced its decision to waive Cory Higgins, trimming the roster to 15 players in the process.

Higgins is the son of Rod Higgins, who is the president of basketball operations for the Bobcats, and is also in Michael Jordan’s inner circle from their playing days together with the Bulls. Higgins was trying to make the Nuggets, but was one of their final cuts, so he could end up sticking with the Bobcats all season.

Higgins got extra burn due to the lopsided score, but deep-league owners will want to put him on their radar. He’s worked himself into the rotation and Paul Silas is willing to turn to whoever plays with energy.

Higgins figures to get more minutes if D.J. Augustin (toe) misses any games, but he shouldn’t be owned in average leagues. Derrick Brown is a more intriguing waiver add, if you’re fishing the muddy waters of Charlotte’s bench.

No surprise here. Rod Higgins’ son will compete to land a spot on the roster as a backup PG. He has no fantasy value.

Adrien just missed making the team back in October. He comes from the D-League Rio Grande Valley Vipers and has no fantasy value.
