Mon Feb 28 2011 | 23:30 | Vujacic to the bench, posts balanced line |
Sasha Vujacic moved to the bench for Monday's game, and scored five points on 2-of-6 shooting with six rebounds and five assists in 26 minutes. |
Avery Johnson is going to use him and Anthony Morrow them as interchangeable parts, and overall the duos value shouldn't change too much, though we'll like whomever is starting on a given night. As for Vujacic, give him a look if you need 3-point shooting, but he is not a must-own player. |
Sun Feb 27 2011 | 00:12 | Vujacic struggles despite another start |
Sasha Vujacic started again but hit just 3-of-13 shots and committed five fouls on his way to eight points and two 3-pointers. |
Damion James (nine points, 19 minutes) started, while Anthony Morrow (4-of-12, 11 points, 31 minutes) came off the bench, but it looks like Morrow and Vujacic are destined to trade big nights, making neither player a must-own. |
Sat Feb 26 2011 | 03:51 | Vujacic, Morrow switch spots, nothing changes |
Sasha Vujacic switched places with Anthony Morrow in a start at shooting guard on Friday, scoring eight points on 3-of-9 shooting (including a three) with two rebounds, one assist, and four steals in 26 minutes. |
While the move didn't change Sasha's value much, Anthony Morrow went off for 25 points off the bench, which could convince Avery Johnson that the configuration works. Either way, expect both of them to run hot and cold -- with the good news being that Deron Williams is in town to give them open looks. |
Fri Feb 25 2011 | 13:14 | Vujacic to start at SG for Nets on Friday |
Sasha Vujacic is expected to start for the Nets on Friday in place of Anthony Morrow. |
Avery Johnson didn't officially announce the move, but all signs point to the switch. Neither player's value should change dramatically but Vujacic is worth a flier if you're in need of points and 3s. |

Wed Feb 16 2011 | 23:55 | Vujacic quiets down in loss to Celtics |
Sasha Vujacic hit just 2-of-9 shots for four points, five rebounds and five assists in Wednesday's loss. |
The Celtics cooled him off, but he's still worth a look in most fantasy leagues, as he gets solid minutes and is a nice source of threes for the Nets. |
Sat Feb 12 2011 | 22:14 | Sasha Vujacic stays hot on Saturday |
Sasha Vujacic hit 5-of-9 shots and two 3-pointers for 14 points, four assists and two steals on Saturday. |
He's hit double figures in three straight after struggling, so give him a look if you need a 3-point shooting guard. |
Fri Feb 11 2011 | 23:44 | Sasha back to normal after big night |
Sasha Vujacic, who scored a career-high 25 points on Wednesday, had a less eventful night on Friday with 10 points on 3-of-8 shooting (including a three) with three rebounds, three assists, two steals, and two blocks in 26 minutes off the bench. |
The steals and blocks keep this line useful, but the front end of it looks familiar on most nights. He'll have the occasional big game, but the pedestrian statistics coming off the bench at times make him a borderline fantasy asset. |
Thu Feb 10 2011 | 00:36 | Vujacic scores career-high 25 in win |
Sasha Vujacic caught fire on Wednesday, hitting 9-of-14 shots and five 3-pointers on his way to a career-high 25 points to go along with four rebounds and four assists. |
He was struggling coming in, scoring in single digits in six straight games and nine of his last 10, so don't be too hard on yourself if you cut him recently. Maybe this is a sign he's ready to heat up, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him struggle again in his next game. |
Sun Jan 30 2011 | 02:04 | Vujacic scores nine points off the bench |
Sasha Vujacic scored nine points off the bench on Saturday, hitting 3-of-8 shots from the field (including a three) with no other statistics other than two turnovers to his credit. |
He logged 22 minutes, and probably won't benefit much from any absence of Jordan Farmar (back) if tonight's results are any indication. Sasha has been a borderline player to own this year, and owners shouldn't hesitate to drop him in standard leagues. |
Wed Jan 26 2011 | 22:12 | Sasha Vujacic scores 14 w/ three 3-pointers |
Sasha Vujacic played 36 minutes and hit 5-of-10 shots (three 3-pointers) for 14 points, five rebounds, three assists and a steal in a tough win over the Grizzlies. |
He's been inconsistent, but is still worth holding in many leagues. And if you catch him on the right night, he's even worth starting in deeper leagues. |
Mon Jan 24 2011 | 23:19 | Vujacic cooling off for Nets, Morrow back |
Sasha Vujacic has cooled off for the Nets lately, and scored just six points on 1-of-6 shooting (including a three) with two rebounds and four assists in 25 minutes off the bench on Monday. |
He has been held under 10 points in each of his last three games, and now that Anthony Morrow (16 points) is back and playing his days of being relevant in fantasy leagues are probably over for now. |
Wed Jan 19 2011 | 22:40 | Vujacic stays hot as Nets beat Jazz |
Sasha Vujacic stayed hot on Wednesday, hitting 4-of-5 shots and a 3-pointer on his way to 15 points, seven rebounds, four assists and three steals. |
He's been very hot over the last week or so and is worth adding and starting in fantasy leagues until he cools off. |
Sat Jan 15 2011 | 01:47 | Vujacic heating up for Nets, scores 17 |
Sasha Vujacic had 17 points, three boards, three assists, a steal and two 3-pointers in Friday's loss to his former teammates on the Lakers. |
He had 19 points and five triples in his previous game, and is getting heavy minutes for now. If you're desperate for threes, give him a close look. |
Thu Jan 13 2011 | 00:56 | Vujacic gets hot in loss to Suns |
Sasha Vujacic hit 7-of-13 shots and five 3-pointers on his way to 19 points, three boards and four assists in Wednesday's loss. |
Nice. He hit just 1-of-14 shots on Friday, but the key to this line was the fact he played 37 minutes. If the minutes stay there for him, he'll be worth a close look in fantasy. He'd gotten 28 or less minutes in his previous three games, but forced his way onto the court by staying hot tonight. |
Fri Jan 7 2011 | 21:49 | Vujacic goes 1-of-14 in Friday's loss |
Sasha Vujacic hit just 1-of-14 shots for three points in Friday's ugly loss to Washington. |
He was terrible tonight, as was his entire team, who had their doors blown off tonight starting at the opening tip. |
Wed Jan 5 2011 | 23:17 | Vujacic hits game-winner over Bulls |
Sasha Vujacic came off the bench for 13 points and three 3-pointers, including a game-winning shot with just 5.3 seconds remaining as the Nets beat the Bulls on Wednesday. |
Vujacic is worth keeping an eye on, but like most Nets players, is not worth starting on a daily basis in fantasy. The last pass appeared to have been meant for Brook Lopez, who had a whopping three rebounds tonight, but was deflected to Vujacic, who put it away for a rare Nets win. |
Sun Jan 2 2011 | 00:08 | Vujacic ties career-high with 22 points |
Sasha Vujacic tied a career-high with 22 points on 9-of-16 shooting (including three treys) with five rebounds, four assists, and one steal in 35 minutes off the bench on Saturday. |
He has been making noise and hitting threes since arriving in N.J., with at least two threes in all but two games as a Net. If you're looking at him to do much more than that, however, you're probably barking up the wrong tree. When the Nets are at full strength, he's going to struggle for minutes. |
Tue Dec 28 2010 | 01:32 | Sasha Vujacic returned to action on Monday December 27 |
Sasha Vujacic returned to action on Monday December 27. |
Sun Dec 26 2010 | 18:49 | Vujacic (hamstring) probable for Monday |
Nets SG Sasha Vujacic tweaked his hamstring recently, but he is probable for Monday's game vs. the new-look Magic. |
Thanks to his hustle and perimeter shooting, Vujacic has carved out a solid role off New Jersey's bench. He'll take a hit when Anthony Morrow returns, however, so don't get too comfortable. |

Wed Dec 22 2010 | 01:00 | Vujacic scores season-high 16 points |
Sasha Vujacic scored a season-high 16 points on Tuesday, hitting 6-of-8 shots from the field (including two threes) with four rebounds, no assists, and no steals or blocks in 25 minutes off the bench. |
If you just looked at today's box score, you would assume that he was more valuable than Jordan Farmar (seven points, 3-of-6 shooting, one three, six assists), but Farmar is still far and away the better player to own here playing behind injury-risk Devin Harris. |
