We are back once again with the Master Plan for your Fantasy Basketball Drafts. I have been updating this week with players that you should be keeping an eye out for and a few that you should avoid in each position in the game. Tonight is the first of the Final Three pieces in the series and you can expect the remainder this weekend.
I want to start our feature on the Small Forwards with G/F Brandon Roy. Roy ranks in at #7 amongst the Small Forwards and returning from last year where he spent quite a bit of time injured. I don't think that this is going to continue and I would look for his numbers to skyrocket in the 2011 season. ESPN.com has Roy projected with 22.2 points per game, 4.5 rebounds, 5 assists and 1.1 steals on average. I would stake a bet right now that Roy's numbers will exceed this in each and every category.
If you are thinking about AI 2.0 (Andre Iguodala) I would seriously suggest against such a thought. ESPN.com has AI 2.0 projected at #5 amongst the Small Forwards and I would think that with the lack of depth, and frankly talent, in Philly I don't expect Iguodala to be able to keep up with the projections. I certainly can't bode well that they drafted a young stud in Evan Turner who just happens to fit into the same positions that AI 2.0 plays. That is just one man's opinion though.
The player in ESPN's top 30 in this position that I think is the most underrated would have to be Michael Beasley. Minnesota is improving and while they are certainly not the Lakers or Celtics, they are getting much better and a good deal of this is due to Michael Beasley. Beasley a young player out of Kansas State is quite frankly a monster and averages about 14 points per game. This kid is pretty good and I look for this year to serve as a breakout year.
Remember it is your team so draft em how you want but I think that this is some pretty sound advice.
