The Week that Was
Greetings, folks. We were getting all of our ducks in a row, figuring out the best way to bring you the most pertinent fantasy basketball, all of last and this week and have come up with a pair of weekly blog posts that should help you out.
Every Sunday, we'll bring you "The Week that Was", a team-by-team look at who's hot and who's not. This should give you an insight as to who you should be looking at starting on a nightly basis, and who you should only be using as fill-in-the-blanks.
Every Monday, we'll take a look at the hottest "sleepers" who are more than likely available in most leagues.
So without further ado, the initial edition of The Week that Was.
Boston Celtics: It's been an interesting couple of weeks for the C's. No one is scoring more than 19 points (Pierce, 18.8 ppg) and five players averaging double digits (with Kendrick Perkins just behind at 9.5 ppg). Rajon Rondo got his fat contract and has been putting up good numbers. KG has gotten off to a slow start, averaging 12.9 points and 8.2 boards. If you're able to snag him from a desperate owner in this early part of the season, I don't need to tell you that it's probably worth it.
New Jersey Nets: All we really have to say here is: Brook Lopez, wow. Dude is really stepping it up in a season where he was expected to step it up even more. Can't argue with 18 points, 2.3 blocks and nearly 8 boards a game. A bit of a surprise on the Nets is Chris Douglas-Roberts, who's scoring 15.6 ppg. Courtney Lee, even with Devin Harris in the backcourt, will remain a good option in larger leagues.
New York Knicks: The young Knicks have some good scoring options (Gallinari, Lee and Harrington all over 17 ppg). Larry Hughes and Wilson Chandler are also solid options in larger leagues. Nate Robinson has been somewhat disappointing, but the little guy can heat up at any moment. Chris Duhan remains a decent and cheap option for assists (6.6 apg).
Philadelphia 76ers: Andre Iguodala is everything we expected, no surprise there. Louis Williams is scoring well, and so is Marreese Speights, who is all but rendering Samuel Dalmebert useless in many leagues. Elton Brand is off to a slow start, and one must wonder if he'll ever be the same.
Toronto Raptors:As a Andrea Bargnani owner, you have to be tickled pink (I am!). 20.7 ppg, 6.8 boards and a block per to boot. And you gotta love all the 3s. Hopefully he can keep it up, even with Chris Bosh doin' what Chris Bosh always does. Hedo Turkoglu has fit in well, but remains only a decent fantasy option. DeMar DeRozan is seeing plenty of time, and shows some promise in deep leagues.
Chicago Bulls: Tyrus Thomas has been a bit of a disappointment (he's been sick, however). In his stead, Joakim Noah, Luol Deng and John Salmons have stepped up their games, and Derrick Rose has played rather well, although you'll want to see more than 12.3 ppg out of the budding star. Thomas should bounce back, so he's a buy-low candidate at this point. (Edit: Updat on Thomas: he's now out until early December after breaking his arm)
Cleveland Cavaliers: Not shockingly, LeBron James is off to a good start. No news here. Mo Williams is apparently the only guy who's also going to score on a regular basis for the Cavs, but we figured that. Shaq appears to be fitting in well, and already has 12 blocks on the season. Anderson Varejao is rebounding well this season, even with the addition of the Shaq-ster. Big Z looks like a Big Zero with Shaq in town.
Detroit Pistons: Ben Gordon looks to be fitting in nicely, averaging nearly 25 points per game. Rip Hamilton is now out, but dropped 25 in his first outing, which signals perhaps that Gordon will only be scoring at this high clip until Rip returns. Charlie Villanueva has also fit in well, and somehow Tayshaun Prince flies below everyone's fantasy radar and is posting respectable numbers. Even with a low apg number, I think Rodney Stuckey is the most valuable Piston moving forward.
Indiana Pacers: Any time your PF, in this case Troy Murphy, is leading your team in assists, you know you're in some trouble. They appear to be turning the corner, but it appears that it's not the only turn they're going to take this season. Danny Granger is putting up solid stats, but everyone else has been pretty up-and-down. Troy Murphy only has 10 field goals (granted he's only played in 3 games). The exciting thing is seeing Dahntay Jones step up and score well (16 ppg). He's hot right now, so if you snagged him off the waiver wire, you might consider dumping him before he turns back into... well... Dahntay Jones.
Milwaukee Bucks: It's been the Brandon Jennings show in Milwaukee. Jennings is certainly the front-runner for rookie of the year and is leading the Bucks in scoring and assists. His assist numbers may remain low, but he'll score well for a PG (and especially a rookie PG). Michael Redd has only 2 games under his belt, and needs to get healthy. In the meantime, Jennings will score even more. Hakeem Warrick, especially with Redd out, might be another nice option.
Atlanta Hawks: The Hawks are off to a good start (5-2) and are getting good numbers from their best players. Joe Johnson is scoring well, Al Horford is averaging 10.7 boards, and Josh Smith is putting up sick across-the-board numbers. Jamal Crawford is instant offense off the bench, and is really eating into Mike Bibby's potential. Bibby is certainly not the same player he once was, and Crawford appears to be the better option for the Hawks at this point.
Charlotte Bobcats: The young Bobcats don't really have a to-go scorer, and have 6 regular players averaging in or near double digit points. That's really spreading it around. Gerald Wallace and Boris Diaw are filling up the box scores, but will rarely have huge scoring nights. Doesn't appear that Tyson Chandler has fully figured out his role with this team, and might be a buy-very-low candidate right now if your team looks to be struggling in the rebound department. He'll likely turn it around, as there's no one else at his position that's worth a look.
Miami Heat: The Heat are... well... HOT. 5-1 and D-Wade is scoring at will yet again this season. Jermaine O'Neal looks healthy... healthy enough to score well and grab some boards. If you got him late in the draft, he is shaping up to be quite the steal. But he comes with some risk, so if you're able to ship him off for some quality talent in return, you might want to look at it. Quentin Richardson has been providing some firepower from deep, dropping 13 3s already. Mario Chalmers looks like a solid PG option, although he won't score much.
Orlando Magic: Like their Floridian counterparts, the Magic are also off to a good, 5-1 start. This, all without Rashard Lewis. Dwight Howard is scoring well, and is even shooting nearly 70 percent from the line. Ryan Anderson is filling in well for Lewis, but will be relegated to a reserve role when Lewis gets back. Good news for Brandon Bass owners is that while he'll still be a bench player for the Magic, his playing time shouldn't be affected too much. He's going to be a cheap source of boards, blocks and good percentages. J.J. Redick has been a nice surprise for the Magic, hitting 3s and shooting 90+ percent from the line.
Washington Wizards: Even with Gilbert Arenas back and healthy, the Wizards are going to struggle this season. Doesn't mean you can't find good fantasy options on this team. Andray Blatche has been a nice surprise, as has Randy Foye. Brendan Haywood is averaging a double-double. But both Blatche and Haywood's numbers will dip with the return of Antawn Jamison, who appears to be ahead of schedule on his rehab.
Dallas Mavericks: Not surprisingly, Dirk Nowitzki's off to a good start and Jason Terry and Josh Howard are scoring well even with Dirk's offensive explosions. New Mav Shawn Marion has fit in well and J-Kidd is dishing dimes to the Mav scorers. The mild surprise is Erick Dampier, who is not only rebounding well, but is on fire from the field (almost 65%) and is scoring right around 9 ppg. Definitely a nice backup C option.
Houston Rockets: Even with Yao Ming, the Rockets are off to a solid start, and the newcomer Trevor Ariza is leading the way. He's scoring well (20.2 ppg) and dishing the ball (4.0 apg) and boarding (4.5 rpg) and even hitting threes and stealing the ball (we knew that would happen). Young Aaron Brooks is scoring well too, and is dropping dimes (7.7 apg). Carl Landry has been a surprising scorer, but his points may taper off while Luis Scola's rise. Rookie Chase Budinger has looked pretty good to start the season; check him out in deeper leagues.
Memphis Grizzlies: The Grizz are off to a grisly start, but of course Rudy Gay and Zach Randolph are putting up points. O.J. Mayo has kept up with his solid stats from his rookie season. The surprise has been Marc Gasol, who's not only scoring, but grabbing nearly 12 boards a game and getting almost 2 blocks per. He looks like a keeper at a position that is somewhat thin this season. The AI experiment looks to be failing.
New Orleans Saints: The Hornets are off to a shocking bad start, but you gotta think Chris Paul and Co. will turn things around. Paul is off to a hot start, with a sick assist-to-turnover ratio. David West's scoring is a bit down, but he'll bounce back. Emeka Okafor looks to have fit in well, and this team will surge ahead sooner rather than later.
San Antonio Spurs: The old fellas are plodding along and have the record to prove it. Tony Parker is leading the team in scoring, and it's only 14.8 ppg. Tim Duncan doesn't look very good and Richard Jefferson has only looked good in spots. Rookie DeJuan Blair has been a nice find, shooting at a nearly 66% clip. The Spurs are a savvy bunch and will figure out a way to get Duncan more scoring opportunities.
Denver Nuggets: The Nuggets are off to a good start behind the scoring of Carmelo Anthony. This might be the year he breaks out even more. Chauncey Billups is again a steady force, providing scoring from the backcourt. Nene also looks good, but it's the play of rookie Ty Lawson that has been the best story.
Minnesota Timberwolves: It's going to be a long season for Kurt Rambis and his T-Wolves. Al Jefferson is slimmed down, and so is his scoring. Rookie Jonny Flynn looks good in spells, but would the T-Wolves be better overall with Ramon Sessions running the squad? Corey Brewer is an under-rated swing-man who can probably come cheap. He's worth a look.
Oklahoma City Thunder: The young Thunder squad looks good so far, playing together and getting scoring from both Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook. Jeff Green is again playing well across the board. James Harden is feeling his way out slowly, but could be a 10 ppg scorer at some point this season. Kevin Durant's 3-ball hasn't been falling, but he'll find the range sooner or later.
Portland Trailblazers: Rip City is excited to watch this young and energetic squad led by Brandon Roy. Andre Miller has been welcomed with open arms and is looking good. Travis Outlaw is providing a scoring punch off the bench and is going to be a cheap source of steals this season. Spaniard sensation Rudy Fernandez is no longer a fantasy option with Outlaw and the young Martell Webster playing well.
Utah Jazz: The Jazz is off to a slow start and it could be a long season for Deron Williams, although the stats say otherwise. He's scoring and dishing the ball like crazy and really is just a step behind Chris Paul in terms of the best fantasy PG. Not surprisingly, Ronnie Brewer, Mehmet Okur and Carlos Boozer are all contributing. The surprise is Andrei Kirilenko, who is showing flashes of his once-studly play. Paul Millsap has been a bit of a disappointment, though. No matter what the Jazz record is, Williams will continue to be a top fantasy option. If the season continues like this, you gotta think the Jazz brass will look to move Boozer and Millsap's stats will jump.
Golden State Warriors: More of the same for the Warriors. Lots of flash, little results. You have six (almost seven) Warriors scoring in double digits, which is a fantasy gold mine. But some of the FG%'s are downright nasty and the turnovers are high. Andris Biedrins isn't scoring much and his boards aren't where you'd like them to be. He'll likely turn things around.
Los Angeles Clippers: Holy moly Chris Kaman! Kaman's stock was way down last season, but he's off to a superb start this year. He's shooting well from the field and the line and boarding/blocking like a stud fantasy center should. Al Thornton, who looked to continue playing well, is off to a slow start and the loss of Blake Griffin was a bummer. Griffin will be back in a few weeks and it'll take him a week or two to get up to speed.
Los Angeles Lakers: Kobe Bryant is leading the Lakers to a great start and will continue scoring at will. Andrew Bynum has looked dominating in spells and will be a solid option, especially if Pau Gasol is limited. Ron Artest has looked solid in Laker gold and will provide good assist and steal stats, but the percentages hurt.
Phoenix Suns: The Suns are off to a blistering 6-1 start, and Amare Stoudemire looks great. His scoring isn't where it could be, but you won't complain with 19.3 ppg and nearly 9 boards. He's shooting well from the field, too... which was to be expected. Channing Frye has been the surprise (and hey, he was listed as a sleeper in this very blog!). Grant Hill looks re-energized and is averaging a healthy 8.7 rebounds per outing. If he can come anywhere close to the 82 games he played last season, he'll end up being a fantasy steal.
Sacramento Kings: They may be 3-4, but the Kings are probably one of the worst teams in the NBA. Kevin Martin is scoring like crazy, but his FG% is a bit lower than you'd like. Tyreke Evans is a rookie name to watch and the young frontcourt pair of Jason Thompson and Spencer Hawes are putting up solid numbers. Beno Udrih flew a bit under the radar with the arrival of Evans, but he's putting up good numbers to boot. Keep an eye on Andres Nocioni, who will continue to put up good numbers, especially with the Kings needing a veteran presence on the court.
