◉ WATCH

Pickett posted 16 in R10 — below his 26 BE for the second time this season and extending the boom-bust pattern that has dogged his cash cow case. He has played every game under the new coaching staff, which is a real positive, but 16 is a price drop and the vest-risk whispers have something to them. At 6 games with a 32.3 average, the cash gen is stalling. Hold if you missed the sell window — but do not buy new exposure until he strings two clean scores together.

Breakout Signal· T3

Latrelle Pickett had his best game so far in R6 vs Brisbane, with decisive ball handling and a goal. Community notes Trelly and Kozzie together as an absolutely deadly combo going forward, and Trelly is lowering the eyes and becoming more decisive.
