| Once considered a 1st-round fantasy pick, AK47 was probably the biggest bust of '06-07. He was close to career lows in almost every category and missed a dozen games for the third year in a row. This summer, he picked his game up in the EuroLeague tournament, leading Russia to the title and earning MVP honors. Then he lashed out at Jazz coach Jerry Sloan, demanding a trade and saying he was willing to walk away from his $60 million contract. AK47's work ethic has been questioned recently, but there's no denying his unique basketball talents. He's supposedly a little happier now, so I'm expecting a return to form of sorts for him in '07-08. I'm projecting a slight increase across the board, but he's got even more upside. |

| Jamison helps out fantasy teams a lot in points, threes, and rebounds, but beware of his poor shooting %'s. The UNC vet is also an ironman: he missed a dozen games last season, but played in all 82 games in 5 of the 6 seasons prior. |

| When healthy, Odom is one of the best all-around players in the game. He's a poor free throw shooter, but helps out in every other category. Odom is still recovering from offseason shoulder surgery, but if you feel like he can stay healthy, don't hesitate to pick him in the 5th round of your draft. |

| Ricky Davis has been one of the most explosive offensive players in the L for sometime now, but he wasn't a lights out shooter until last year. Davis set career-highs in FT% (83.9%), 3P% (39.7%), and threes made (1.5 per game) last season. Davis is also very durable: he's played in 78+ games 6 seasons in a row. Now that KG is gone, Davis will be the unquestioned go-to scorer and leader of Minnesota. Ricky won't mind jacking up more shots, but whether or not he can handle a season of losing remains to be seen. |

| Granger had a solid sophomore season and he'll be asked to play an even bigger role in '07-08. As a result, I'm projecting an increase across the board. Granger has a solid shot at joining both the 1+ three & 47% FG club AND the 1+ block & 77% FT club. The only player to do that last year was Shawn Marion, which shows you the kind of fantasy potential that Granger has. |

| I used to be a big fan of Artest, but now I'm not sure if he'll ever mature and live up to his potential. If you are in a 6-cat league that doesn't count %'s, Artest would be worthy of a 1st round pick. Unfortunately, Artest has always been a poor shooter: 42.0% FG, 32.2% 3P, and 72.1% FT for his career. He's also played in 75+ games just once in his 8 year career, has beef with his PG. and is on a sorry Kings team. If you draft Artest before the 5th round you're making a very risky move. |

| Kevin Durant has some big shoes to fill in Seattle. In losing Ray Allen & Rashard Lewis, the Sonics have over 48 points per game to try and replace. The rookie will be thrown into the fire immediately and asked to be their #1 scorer. Durant won't get many easy looks his rookie season, and his FG% is really going to hurt as a result. The rest of his stats are going to be very solid, but I wouldn't draft him before round 5. As an 18 year old in the NBA, Durant has a lot of adjustments to make. I would be shocked if he can make it through 82 games without breaking down mentally and/or physically. It's hard to project what type of numbers Durant's going to put up, which is why I'd rather go with a proven vet. My advice is to pass on KD this season. |

| Mo Williams had an incredible '06-07 season, setting career-highs in nearly every category. He was rewarded with a 6-year, $52 million contract. He was a super value pick last year, but that won't be happening again. With more offensive weapons to his disposal, I'm projecting an increase in assists but a drop in points, threes, and boards. If you miss out on the top tier PG's, Mo Williams isn't a bad replacement. |

| Things are looking good for Felton in '07-08. The Bobcats let Brevin Knight go (so he's officially the man) and brought in a super scorer in Jason Richardson over the summer. They plan on playing at a much faster tempo this season, which suits Felton just fine. Expect a bunch of alleyoops to G-Wallace and J-Rich and for his assists to go way up. The only problem with Felton (and it's a big one) is his miserable shooting: he shot under 40% from the field in each of his first 2 seasons. |

| Bibby had a disappointing '06-07 season. His 4.7 dimes and 40.4% FG shooting were both career-lows and he missed the playoffs for the first time in 6 years. His FG% may bounce back a little bit, but I don't expect much to change for Bibby this season. New coach Reggie Theus may help him turn things around, but if I want to hurt my team's FG%, I'm going to opt for the young gun Felton instead. |

| Aldridge is the worst-kept "sleeper" in fantasy hoops this season, which begs the question: Is he now overrated? With Zach Randolph out of the picture, LaMarcus will have to step up BIG time, and he's got all the talent in the world to make it happen. Most people are looking at his numbers from last March (15 games played), but one slight adjustment should be made. On March 31st, he played only 7 minutes before leaving due to an irregular heartbeat. This ended his season prematurely, and also lowered his split stats for the month of March. So I have substituted that game with his last game from February, to give him the following stat line: 31.1 minutes, 15.4 points, 8.3 boards, .5 assists, .9 steals, 1.8 blocks, 52.6% FG, 74.4% FT. I believe this is a very solid projection for Aldridge’s ’07-08 season, making him a solid 6th round pick. |

| Okur had another solid season for Utah, helping them get to the Western Conference Finals. His boards and blocks were weak for a center, but he made up for it with 1.6 threes per game. I'm projecting a slight stat decrease in '07-08, as Paul Millsap steals a couple more minutes away from him. Okur is still one of the best fantasy centers in the game. |

| Despite going undrafted in most fantasy leagues, Biedrins was one of the top centers in '06-07. He finished in the top 20 in FG% (3rd), blocks (16th), and rebounds (20th). Still just 21 years old, Andris has a really bright future ahead of him. Expect even more double-doubles in '07-08. |

| The veteran PG had a solid '07-08 season, even after being traded to Philly. He doesn't make any threes, but makes up for it with solid assists and steals. Miller earns a perfect 5.0 injury rating for having missed a total of just 5 games in his 8 year career! However, his misc. value is low because he's on a VERY bad team and may be on the downside of his career. |

| If you used a last round pick on Ellis last year, you received a nice return on investment from the exciting 21 year old. The Most Improved Player of the Year took the league by storm, finishing 8th in steals per game and in the top 50 in points, assists, and FG%. There is some concern about Ellis losing minutes because the Warriors are so deep, but Monta is just too good to leave on the bench. |

| After playing like a 3rd round pick in '05-06, Jefferson played more like a 13th rounder in '06-07. He missed 27 games and was less than 100% for most of the season. Expect a bounceback season from R-Jeff in '07-08. When healthy, he's a great all-around performer who doesn't hurt you in any category. Owners who drafted him last year will be sour on him, but don't let him fall too far! |

| Bogut had a solid sophomore season, posting career-highs in points, boards, assists, and FG%. However, his FT% was horrible at just 57.7% and he only blocked .5 shots per game, which is really weak for a center. Expect him to continue to improve in '07-08, but make sure you draft a big time rejector to start alongside him. |

| O'Neal shot a career-high 76.7% from the line and swatted 2.6 shots per game last season, but failed to average 20 ppg for the first time in 5 years and shot just 43.6% from the field. That FG% is simply unacceptable from someone who doesn't shoot any threes. To make things worse, O'Neal missed 13 games and has now missed a total of 82 games the past 3 seasons. Sure enough, Jermaine has already missed practice this year due to soreness in his surgically repaired knee. Most people have JON ranked as a top 50 fantasy player, but I'm not buying it. Stay away! |

| Dalembert put it all together in '06-07, posting career-highs in nearly every category. He's just entering his prime and should be a defensive force for years to come. Dalembert played in all 82 games last year but is something of a question mark this season due to a stress fracture in his left foot. He'll be an awesome #2 fantasy center this year. |

| The speedy Ford had a great '06-07 season, leading the Raptors to the playoffs and finishing 6th in assists despite playing under 30 minutes per game. He's like Andre Miller in that he doesn't make many threes but gets a lot of steals. The only concern with Ford is that Jose Calderon may be the best backup PG in the league, so if TJ slumps he could lose his job. |

| Marbury averaged just 14.1 points and 1.2 threes per game before the All-Star break, then exploded for 21.7 points and 2.8 threes per game in the second half. The threes were a bit uncharacteristic, but that's a positive sign that he'll have a solid '07-08 season. I'm not a big man of Starbury's b-ball game, but I give him a decent misc. value because I respect his $15 shoe accomplishments. |

| Foye had a solid rookie season, but he'll have to step up big time now that he's running the show in Minnesota. He might not be very consistent this season, but Foye has all the tools to be a great player. My projections are based on the 12 games that he started last season: 29.3 minutes, 12.8 points, 4.4 boards, 4.2 assists, .9 steals, and 1.4 threes per game on 45.8% FG shooting and 82.9% FT shooting. If he can do that over a full season, he'll be a very solid #2 fantasy PG. |

| Rondo scored just 6.4 ppg last year and his shooting %'s were awful: 41.8% FG, 20.7% 3P, and 64.7% FT. However, the Celtics are confident in the 21 year old's abilities and so am I. Rondo could very easily lead the league in steals this year and will rack up assists playing with 3 All-Stars. He won't do much else from a fantasy perspective, but those 2 cats alone will make him very valuable. |

| Sheed's a career 47.7% shooter from the field and 71.5% shooter from the line, but those %'s flipped around to 42.3% and 78.8% respectively last year. His 12.3 ppg was his lowest mark since '95-96, his rookie year. At 33 years old, it seems as if he's getting ready to hand the keys over to young studs Jason Maxiell and Amir Johnson. But not so fast: Sheed lost 25 pounds over the summer and seems rejuvenated. I still don't recommend picking him before round 7. |

| D. Lee went undrafted in most fantasy leagues last year, but quickly became one of the hottest pickups. He didn't score much, but he was a rebounding machine and his shooting %'s were top notch, making him a very valuable fantasy player. With Randolph in town, his rebounds and minutes are going to take a hit, but Lee is too good and too much of a fan favorite to sit on the bench. I'm projecting a season close to what he did last year and actually have him ranked higher than Randolph. |

| While he played poorly in the playoffs, Harrington was a major reason for G.S. making it there in the first place. His awesome 3-point shooting (1.6 per game on 43.3% shooting) is very valuable because he's eligible at center, but at the same time his boards and blocks are weak for a big man. Big Al is supposedly in great shape and ready for a big '07-08 season. |

| The #1 overall pick in the 2006 NBA draft struggled mightily to start the season, but was a key contributor once he got settled in. If you focus on the 42 games in which he played 24+ minutes, he averaged: 14.1 points, 2.1 threes, 4.7 boards, and 1 block per game. I'm projecting an even better stat line for the '07-08 season. While Bargnani struggles on the glass, he's expected to start at center this year, making him even more valuable when he gains the coveted "C" eligibility. If you can get him in the 8th round or later you'll be getting very good value. |

| Rudy Gay showed flashes of his potential last year, and will get a lot more minutes in his 2nd season. Gay is very long and active on defense, getting lots of steals and blocks. He may also be a big time scorer someday, but for now he's still pretty raw. A lot of owners want to get Gay this year, but I'll tell you now that his FG% is going to hurt a lot. |
