Every year, there are a few fantasy basketball players who rise out of obscurity, establishing themselves as bona fide must start players through the course of the season.
Maybe you were eve watching them as they developed, before another manager in your league snagged them off the waiver wire. Wasn’t that a bummer if that happened?
Who wins the crown in this category this year? As we’re a bit less than halfway into the season at this point, we’re beginning to get a clearer picture as to which players might be fly by night sensations, and which will be here to stay.
In my mind, it isn’t much of a contest this season. I believe that Kevin Love has been the player to stand above the rest of the pack. His stats are invaluable to many fantasy teams in leagues around the world.
In just his second full season of basketball, it’s clear that Kevin Love will be a force to be reckoned with for quite some time. Few people actually expected him to show the rebounding prowess he has, and no one thought he’d be putting up 15 and 12 on a nightly basis.
Love has one of the highest free throw percentages for a center in all of basketball, and he’s shoots some three pointers here and there too.
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.
