C Darko Milicic, New York Knicks
We promise, this is the last chance we will give Darko Milicic. The historic bust was traded to the Knicks in the offseason and he has a chance to earn plenty of playing time under Mike D’Antoni. He has enough skill to be a good fantasy basketball backup center.

PF Anthony Randolph, Golden State Warriors
While Anthony Randolph is quickly becoming a household name, he makes this list because he has superstar potential. He was awesome in summer league and if he can translate to the NBA, watch out!

SF Andres Nocioni, Sacramento Kings
After getting traded to the Kings last season, Andres Nocioni put up impressive stats. This year, there’s no reason for that to stop. Nocioni should play a lot of minutes and he’s talented enough to really help your fantasy squad.

SG Courtney Lee, New Jersey Nets
With the Magic last season, Courtney Lee showed glimpses of fantastic ability. This year, he’ll probably get tons of PT with the Nets. If that happens, you can expect him to produce.

PG Tyreke Evans, Sacramento Kings
Even though he’s a rookie, Tyreke Evans will likely win the starting point guard spot in Sacramento. His offensive game still needs work but he can really get to the line, which will help out your fantasy basketball team.

Recently, Stephen Jackson has been a very good fantasy basketball player. Over his last five games, Jackson is averaging more than 23 points, more than nine assists and nearly six rebounds. Additionally, he’s shooting well from both the field and from the free throw line.

If you have Jackson on your team, obviously you should sit him for Tuesday’s game if you have the chance. While the Warriors have a lot of players who can replace his production, the leading candidates include Monta Ellis and Corey Maggette. If you want to role the dice, you could pick up Kelenna Azubuike or Anthony Randolph and hope for a big game with Jackson out.

Although Don Nelson has indicated that he may rest some of his veteran players down the stretch, Jackson remains a must start in virtually every format. He turns the ball over and he can be streaky from the perimeter, however he’s too explosive and too productive to sit.

So far in three games, Randolph is averaging 19 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.3 blocks, while shooting 51.1% from the field and 78.6% from the line. In his very first contest, Randolph wowed the fans on his way to 30 points.

In his freshman season at LSU, he had extremely impressive stats. Randolph averaged 15.6 points, 8.5 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game. If he were to stay in school, there’s no question that Randolph would have been one of the best players in college basketball next season.

Randolph’s size and length has scouts salivating. At 6-foot-10 with long arms, Randolph has the length to play power forward. However, at just 200 pounds, he still needs to bulk up and get stronger.

Despite his height, Randolph seems to have the ability to play small forward in the NBA. Currently, he’s built a lot like Tayshaun Price and he has a similar game, except Randolph isn’t yet a very good outside shooter. He’ll need to improve in that regard if he is to truly thrive at small forward in the NBA.

With his size, athleticism, youth and varied skills, Randolph is looking more and more like a high lottery pick in the 2008 NBA Draft. Scouts have him pegged anywhere from the fourth pick to the tenth pick. While there are surer bets in this draft, few players have the potential that Randolph possesses.
