Jamorko Pickett: Scores team-high 27 points
Rotowire
Pickett posted 27 points (5-15 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 8-13 FT), four rebounds, five assists, a steal and a block across 43 minutes in Thursday's loss to Raptors 905.
The Charge was extremely shorthanded Thursday since they had eight players available.

Pickett was probably the one that benefited the most from the opportunity, as he led the team in scoring despite the fact the Charge lost by 36 points. He's averaging 16.8 points and 8.1 rebounds per game while starting in seven of his 10 appearances so far.

Rotowire
Pickett delivered 24 points (9-17 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds and five assists across 28 minutes in Monday's win over Westchester.

He scored just six points in the regular-season opener and averaged 16.7 points per game in the Showcase earlier this season, so this was likely to be an anomaly rather than an expected norm going forward.

Jamorko Pickett: Scores 23 points Thursday
Rotowire
Pickett accounted for 23 points (7-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-7 FT), eight rebounds, four steals, three assists and a block across 43 minutes in Thursday's loss to Iowa.

Jamorko Pickett: Pulls down 12 rebounds
Rotowire
Pickett scored seven points (2-13 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT) while adding 12 rebounds, two steals, an assist and a block across 39 minutes in Monday's win over Windy City.
Pickett could've easily had a double-double in this game, but he struggled badly with his shot and also got in foul trouble, so he was never able to get things going offensively. His contributions on the glass were a big part of the win, but he needs to be more efficient on offense, because otherwise, players such as Sharife Cooper and Mamadi Diakite end up getting too much responsibility on the scoring side of things.

Jamorko Pickett: Scores 23 points in return
Rotowire
Pickett (undisclosed) posted 23 points (8-17 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and an assist across 29 minutes in Sunday's 122-93 loss against the Mad Ants.
Pickett returns to action with the Charge after missing a couple of games due to an undisclosed injury, but it seems he didn't miss a beat while being on the sidelines. With Isaiah Mobley and Mamadi Diakite with the Cavaliers and Sharife Cooper enduring a rough shooting night, Pickett embraced a bigger offensive role and the numbers back that up. He's expected to remain as an important offensive cog for the Charge as long as he remains available, and especially if they're as shorthanded as they were for this contest.
