Nat was the only starter not in double-figures on Thursday night, but that didn't stop the crafty vet from putting up 31 FPs in a win, adding some numbers from every cat. She ended with 9 points, 8 boards, 4 dimes, 3 steals, 2 blocks and 1 SOTG honor.
Nat has had an incredible season to this point, ranking 16 FPPG, far exceeding her pre-draft stock. And while she put up 27 FP in Collier's return, we'd be foolish not to think her numbers won't take a step back. The bigger question is how large a step will it be. We floated the idea of trying to move her on Collier's return. If you're light in other areas, you may be able to take advantage of some unsuspecting teams in your league, whereas we're projecting Howard to be far closer to the 25 FPPG than her current output.
