Carlos Boozer, Utah Jazz
Before you look at his stats and conclude that he had a good season last year, don’t forget to look at his playoff statistics. With the Jazz trying to make a run in the Western Conference, Boozer was oftentimes the team’s weakest link. He’ll likely bounce back but he showed a lot of vulnerability during the 2008 playoffs.

Antawn Jamison, Washington Wizards
Early in preseason play Antawn Jamison went down with a knee injury. While he should be okay for the regular season opener, he’ll likely be slowed for a few more weeks. Additionally, Jamison is getting to the age where his stats should start to decline. Some of his stats from last year, such as his rebounding numbers, will likely be on the decline this year.

Rasheed Wallace, Detroit Pistons
Rasheed Wallace has a lot of minor aspects that could make him a fantasy basketball bust in 2008. First of all, the newly 34-year-old Wallace should start to see some of his physical skills decline soon. The Pistons are also interested in playing some of their young bigmen more such as Amir Johnson and Jason Maxiell. Plus don’t forget that Joe Dumars is said to be thinking about breaking up the nucleus of the Pistons, which would most likely have a negative effect on Rasheed.

Bobby Simmons, Milwaukee Bucks
Bobby Simmons has been starting most of the time in recent weeks and he has produced decent numbers. While he still isn’t as good as he was a couple of seasons ago, he still has a chance of reaching those lofty numbers of the past. With the Bucks suffering a lot of injuries, he could eventually move into a go-to player type role.

Shawne Williams, Indiana Pacers
Nobody has ever questioned Shawne Williams’ talent. The questions have always surrounded his character and maturity. With the Pacers, Williams seems to be on the verge of breaking out. While he hasn’t started many games this season, he’s had a good season. With his size and talent, Williams could easily turn into a fantasy stud down the road.

Kyle Korver, Utah Jazz
While Kyle Korver doesn’t get big minutes yet with the Jazz, he’s at least getting steady minutes. In those minutes, Korver provides good shooting and three-point buckets for your fantasy team. If Korver’s minutes continue to rise, he can once again become fantasy relevant.

Dorell Wright, Miami Heat
The Heat’s season is in the toilet. Their playoff hopes are done and the only things to play for right now are lottery balls. That said, Dorell Wright is a player who could reap the benefit of this situation. He’s a young player who could get big minutes for a horrible team down the stretch run of the season. He is a player who will give you adequate points, very good rebounding and a couple odd steals and blocks.
