5) Manu Ginobili, San Antonio Spurs
When you think of the San Antonio Spurs, you probably first think of Tim Duncan. However, when it comes to fantasy basketball, Manu Ginobili is their best player. Lately, Ginobili has been a fantasy assassin. He can do it all and this season he’s having the best season of his career.
Manu Mix …
4) LeBron James, Cleveland Cavaliers
He might be the best player in the NBA but in the fantasy world, LeBron James is just outside of the top three. His shaky free throw percentage and his high turnover rate hurts him just a tad. Although, when it comes to scoring, rebounding and getting assists, James is the player you want on your team – in both real life and fantasy.
3) Marcus Camby, Denver Nuggets
In fantasy basketball, no player dominates rebounding and blocked shots as much as Marcus Camby. If you have him on your side, there’s a good chance that you can dominate your league in both categories. He’s a great piece to build around and he’s arguably having his best season ever.
2) Kobe Bryant, Los Angeles Lakers
Although he doesn’t score as many points as he used to, Kobe Bryant is still a fantasy basketball beast. He helps you out in a lot of categories and the only category he isn’t strong in is turnovers. Other than that, Bryant is a player who can help you win and win big in fantasy basketball.
1) Chris Paul, New Orleans Hornets
Even though there are a lot of great fantasy basketball players, Chris Paul is head and shoulders better than everyone else in the league right now. He can do it all. If Paul is on your fantasy basketball team, you are probably worshiping the ground he walks on. This small point guard is just having a huge, huge season.
Definitely agree with your assessment of Marcus Camby. I have him in one of my leagues and he’s definitely someone I’ve built my team around. And for once, he’s NOT injured (knock on wood).
