Robert Covington The hype is slightly premature, but if Robert Covington is available in your league, stop reading and add him now. While his path to fantasy relevance hasn’t exactly been ‘standard’, Covington has shown glimpses of being a legit scoring option, with big upside in threes and free throw

K.J McDaniels – TREND If you’ve ever read anything by me or seen me ranting on Twitter, you’ll know I’m on the McBandwagon. What I love about his fantasy game is the ‘bonus’ stats – the rebounds, the steals and the blocks from the SG/SF positions. Any SG can average

Ty Lawson The Denver Nuggets have been humming along over the last couple of weeks, in no small part to the diminutive Tywon Ronnell Lawson running the show beautifully. While his coach Brian Shaw seems to want to ruin many a fantasy season (finally Timofey Mozgov getting some burn!), the

Brandan Wright – TREND Is there a more efficient bench player in the league than Brandan Wright? There may not be a player who makes the most out of both his opportunities and his team fit, as Rick Carlisle utilizes his back-up big beautifully off the bench. Wright’s been absolutely

Jimmy Butler If ever there was a call for evidence to see how a player plays in a contract year, it was Trevor Ariza last year. Jimmy Butler is doing the exact same thing this year, except he’s on his way to a deal likely doubling what Ariza scored from

  Arron Afflalo  – TREND The buzz on Afflalo is that he was somewhat of a late bloomer in terms of getting it together on the offensive end of the court. He was drafted as a potential 3 and D guy by the Pistons, but didn’t really get a chance

Reggie Jackson Everyone knew Reggie Jackson as Russell Westbrook’s back-up who had some potential as a scoring combo guard, particularly excelling in last year’s playoffs while starting alongside Westbrook against the Spurs in their last two games (sure, both losses!). With a plague of Thunder injuries – including a minor

Josh Smith – TREND Unfortunately Josh Smith is his own worst enemy. You could argue he should have a career like Shawn Marion; a physically gifted pure-bred athlete who runs the floor like a guard but can defend anyone from 1-4. But he doesn’t have Marion’s humility or his sense

Anthony Davis You’re witnessing the second consecutive season of fantasy dominance people and Kevin Durant is nowhere to be seen. It’s true, Anthony Davis is plowing his way through the NBA, swatting shots and deflecting balls like no other big in recent memory. Has there ever been a player like

Paul Millsap – MIRAGE Go and make an offer to whoever owns Paul Millsap. Or if you’re in any of my leagues, trade me Millsap, because this start is a mirage. Plain and simple, the guy is a fantasy beast who is constantly over-looked in all formats. His percentages last
