A Fantasy Sensation Emerges Overnight
It happens on an annual basis, without fail. There are always a few NBA players who emerge during the course of the season, hitting the radar screens of every fantasy basketball GM as they break out.
It’s even more frustrating when you’ve been watching them the entire time, only to have missed out on the chance to own them because you were afraid to drop someone else that you dropped a few days later.
During the 08-09 season, players like Tyrus Thomas fit the mold, owned in nearly every league by season’s end. How about this year though? With a few months of basketball behind us, it’s time to reflect by proclaiming some of the next enduring fantasy forces in the league.
Let’s take a look at the player who I believe has had the biggest impact on teams so far this season.
At center for the Timberwolves, there’s Kevin Love. Not only is he one of the best rebounders in the NBA right now, averaging over 12.5 per game, but his scoring (15+) and his free throw percentage (80%) are both very impressive.
Any center who can shoot 80% from the line is magnificent in that category. A huge bonus that comes with owning Love is the fact that he’s averaging over half a three pointer per game.
How many NBA centers do you know of who shoot three pointers? There’s Andrea Bargnani and Mehmet Okur, but there aren’t many others after that. Add Love to the list.
While he was drafted by some teams in the very late rounds, he went undrafted by and large. In addition to this, most of those who drafted him decided to drop him when it was revealed that he’d miss the first month of the season due to injury.
As of now, no player has hit the fantasy radar with the impact that Kevin Love has. It should be really interesting to see where he takes his game from here.
