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?
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.
As far as the winner of this category goes, there’s one player who I specifically have in mind, as I believe he’s done a tremendous job so far.
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.
