Right now is a very important time for fantasy basketball. After the first few games, FA steals can occur because you can see who is getting minutes. For example, two years ago Mike Dunleavy played 45 mins in the first game of the season. I picked him up and he went on to have a career year. So pay close attention to who is getting the most minutes right now - those guys can be solid fantasy contributors. Here's what I saw last night:
Randy Foye
The Wiz may be employing the hot-hand theory with regard to Foye and Miller. This is always a dangerous position to be in. Last night Foye played 30 mins and hit some big shots in the fourth quarter. Miller is still ownable but keep your eye on the situation. The good news for Wiz fans: Deshawn Stevenson is no longer playing 40 minutes a game.
Anthony Parker
He played 40 minutes. I don't care who you are, you're going to accumulate some stats when you play 40 minutes in an NBA game. Anthony Parker is already pretty efficient - he's the silent contributor type. The amount of minutes he played on Tuesday bodes well for Parker owners.
Aaron Brooks
41 minutes - 17 FGA. Go out and get him if he's available. He is the top dog running that offense. Yeah, I know, the Rocket offense is not very good. But Brooks has potential to be a Shareef Abdur-Rahim all-star. As Mike detailed a few days ago, SAR all-stars should not be ignored.

Miller is not an ownable player. He is a worthless excuse for a basketball player who sucked everyone in a few years ago...and has been disappointing since. He is a cheap source of rebounds at least.
ReplyDeleteIn other white basketball player news, you see Chris Kaman's big 18-16 night? Probably thanks to Pau's absence.
