As of late, I've been getting a lot of request for fantasy basketball stuff. This week I've decided to break down my top-ten fantasy players for each position for the 2009-2010 NBA season. There is definitely going to be some debate here, so let me know how you feel and whether you agree or disagree with my picks. You can leave your comments in the comments section under each post or leave your picks on the Facebook Fan Page.
1) Chris Paul- There is no debate in regards to this choice. Paul will flourish even more this season. The only player who should be picked in front of him in any draft is Lebron James. He fills up the stat sheet every night.
2) Deron Williams- He is coming off an ankle injury but has looked good so far in pre-season play. He is the leader and catalyst of the Utah Jazz offense. This pick won't look so good if he's injured but until he is, he is a stud in all fantasy formats.
3) Steve Nash- His numbers were on the decline last season and some would think age is a factor. But Nash will prove his critics otherwise this season. He will carry more of the offensive load with Shaq out of town and Phoenix will attempt to go back to a run-and-gun offense this season. Expect Nash to get those numbers back up to career average this season.
4) Chauncey Billups- He has been the most consistent fantasy players for several seasons and there's no reason to think any of that will change. Billups will average 20 points, shoots a great percentage from three, wracks up steals and is a solid free throw shooter.
5) Jason Kidd- Some would say Kidd is getting old, I would say he's getting more experienced. He is a triple-double threat each night and has already formed solid chemistry with newly acquired F Shawn Marion and should continue to rack up points, rebounds and assists while shooting a good percentage from the field, the line and from three.
6) Derek Rose- The second-year player gave us a taste of what he is capable of last season and has been working all season to improve his game in all aspects. He will get some time at the two this year and his numbers should improve in all categories as he works to become one of the elite point guards in the league. Expect Rose to break-out this year.
7) Jose Calderon- Calderon is healthy and should perform up to potential this season. He has a lot more weapons to pass to on offense and his numbers should escalate. He should be able to put up double-double numbers on a consistent basis, he doesn't turn the ball over and he shoots well in all areas. He is a fantasy stud.
8) Devin Harris- He will be called upon to lead a young team this season and even if the team doesn't fair well, Harris will be just fine. He will most likely lead the team in scoring and will also put up numbers in assists and steals. His only issue is turnovers. If he can keep them down, he will be a solid pick-up.
9) Jameer Nelson- Another player coming off injury after a break-out season. The team has made vast improvements in the off-season and will count on Nelson to lead the offense and put up similar numbers. If he's healthy expect his numbers to stay the same with assists going way up. He could be a sleeper if Orlando meets expectations.
10) Rajon Rondo- He will put up big time numbers but is prone to turnovers. He also doesn't shoot the greatest percentages. His assists, steals and blocks numbers will be above average for a point guard and should continue to make improvements to his game.
Honorable Mentions: Baron Davis, Gilbert Arenas, Tony Parker, Andre Miller, Russell Westbrook, Allen Iverson, Mo Williams.
Notes: Check back tomorrow for my Top-Ten Shooting Guards. Can you guess who's going to be at the top of the list???
