Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: Editorial, Free Agency, H2H, NBA Draft, Rookies, Roto, Rumors, Site Features, Sleepers, Talent,
It seems that the NBA Finals ended almost quickly as they started, but for all of us NBA draftniks whose teams were not the Spurs or Cavs it’s time to more concretely look forward to next season - it’s NBA Draft time. However, NBA general managers and scouts aren’t the only ones that need to keep an eye out for prospects to draft. Every
fantasy basketball manager would be wise to stay on top of the incoming rooks. Using my NBA Mock Draft over at About.com as a guide, here are the potential fantasy values for ten of the more noteworthy players that you should keep tabs on.

The final session of the fantasy playoffs are upon us. If you haven’t had to deal with the loss of any stars this season, I commend you as you’re truly an anomaly this season. The recent additions of Gilbert Arenas and Michael Redd to the list of stars to bite the dust should have owners scrambling for last minute replacements. It’s unfortunate that the players that got you to where you are today can no longer help you, but such is the life in the fantasy basketball playoffs. Here are this week’s recommendations…
(Editor’s Note: I apologize for the delay on this. Had some technical difficulties at the end of last week)

Hey! Over here! Remember me!? I’m the NBA!!
With all of March Madness sweeping the spotlight away from the NBA over the next few weeks, fantasy owners would be wise to catch their opponents sleeping at the wheel and pick up all of the goods. While the “clearance rack” may be a bit picked over at this time of year, I think there are a few guys that could help you make that last push you need to see some fantasy post season. On to this week’s recommendations…

Stat’s All Folks: He’s Playing Better Than The Quality Of His Shoes
Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: Disses, Free Agency, H2H, Injuries, Props, Rookies, Roto, Site Features, Sleepers, Waiver Pick Ups,
Stat’s All Folks will be a week-to-week stock market look at the standard cumulative categories – points, assists, rebounds, three-pointers made, steals, and blocks.
I’ll be calling out the “bulls” and “bears” in each category, in order to help you assess your portfolio of players on your fantasy basketball team(s) and whether you should sell, hold, and/or diversify your assets.
Note that you won’t always see the superstar player written about in this column, otherwise it would be LeBron James or Steve Nash every week. So, check out who’s bullish and who’s bearish coming into the week.
Statistics are from February 23rd – March 1st.
POINTSBULLISH
Stephon Marbury, PG, New York Knicks
Last Week’s Numbers of Note: 4 G; 23.0 PPG; 46.8 FG%; 78.6 FT%
Marbury has been playing like the Starbury of old, the self-proclaimed “best point guard” in the NBA. It’s funny how that was statement was associated with Steve Nash who then went on to back-to-back MVP awards. However, this is not to bash Steph, but to praise him. In his last four games he’s scored at least 22 points and with backcourt mate Jamal Crawford, the only consistent Knicks guard this season, possibly out for the season, you can expect Marbury’s value to keep rising, especially with the Knicks having a chance at the playoffs thanks to playing in the Leastern Conference.

While the center position has given plenty of owners fits over the last few months, the recent demise of many guards have left owners in a bind. From Baron Davis and Dwyane Wade to the recent additions of Shaun Livingston and Sam Cassell, it just hasn’t been pretty for point guards as of late. While I definitely recommend checking out my colleague Ron Chow’s Injury Lowdown, the waiver wire help will be tackled below. On to this week’s recommendations…

Only a few nights back from All-Star weekend, and we’ve already had our first superstar go down with a major injury. All-World guard Dwyane Wade could miss up to six weeks with a separated shoulder. While this is truly unfortunate, it will provide a lot of opportunities for other players. Couple this with a few teams experiencing holes of their own, and we have ourselves yet another week of solid waiver wire potential.

Due to scheduling, the NBA didn’t exactly give us a large sample size to choose from over the last few games. Thankfully (depending on how you look at it), players in the Association do not need a lot of time to injure themselves, providing opportunities for the average fantasy basketball fan. While a few of these names may ring a bell, we’ve had a few new additions this week. The first men you should thank? Start with Marcus Camby and Baron Davis, as their annual injuries pave the way for the future stars of the NBA. On to this week’s recommendations.
