Al Jefferson Injury Update – Fantasy Impact

Al Jefferson of the Minnesota Timberwolves had to leave the game against the New Orleans Hornets prematurely due to a knee injury. While Jefferson hasn’t gotten an x-ray or an MRI yet, the immediate reaction didn’t look good.
After the game, Jefferson said he felt a pop in his knee. If he has any type of serious injury, you can expect the T’Wolves to shut him down for the rest of the season, especially considering Jefferson is their franchise player.
If Jefferson is forced to miss time, the player who could benefit the most is Kevin Love. The rookie out of …read more

Hollinger PER Sleepers – Fantasy Basketball Sleepers

Manu Ginobili, San Antonio Spurs – 22.46 PER
Quietly, Manu Ginobili is one of the best players in the NBA once again. In a recent game against the Phoenix Suns, Ginobili scored 30 points and hit 18-of-18 from the free throw line. If his minutes start rising, he could become a fantasy basketball power.

1. Derrick Rose, Chicago Bulls
Coming into the NBA, everyone knew Derrick Rose could pass the ball. What is surprising NBA scouts is his ability to score the ball.

Fantasy Basketball Sleepers 2008 – Centers

Fantasy Basketball Sleepers 2008 – Centers

David Lee, New York Knicks
A lot of speculation points to David Lee being worth less in fantasy basketball with Mike D’Antoni named head coach. However, with the faster tempo Lee’s stats should rise naturally and he should be able to hoard a lot of rebounds — especially offensive rebounds.
Nene, Denver Nuggets

Kevin Love, Minnesota Timberwolves
If …read more

Chris Douglas-Roberts 2008 NBA Draft Prospect

With the Memphis Tigers in the 2008 National Championship game, Chris Douglas-Roberts has seen his 2008 NBA Draft stock rise and rise.
