2011-12 Fantasy Basketball Free Agent Finds
.
Here’s a list of some fantasy basketball players that may have went undrafted and are off to good starts.
.
Ryan Anderson, PF, Orlando Magic: Anderson had a terrific 2011-12 debut with 25 points, ten rebounds, two steals, and six three-pointers. He came back to Earth with eight points, five boards, and two treys. As long as he’s playing around 30 minutes a game, he’s going to give you a fair amount of rebounds and a huge three-point bonus for a big man.
.
Marcus Camby, PF/C, Portland Trail Blazers: Don’t expect the assists to last (5.5 apg), but he’ll give you a fair amount of rebounds (11.0 rpg) and blocks (2.0 bpg) as long as he stay healthy.
.
Udonis Haslem, PF, Miami Heat: Don’t expect steady scoring from Haslem, but he’s a hard enough worker that he should get you about 8.0 ppg. His value comes in his rebounding prowess. He’s averaging 13.0 rpg after two games and should be able to average double-digits.
.
Troy Murphy, PF/C, Los Angeles Lakers: He’s an injury risk, but he is hitting the boards early and has one more chance to deliver before Bynum returns from his suspension. If you need a plug-and-play for rebounds, Murphy should have a nice total against the Knicks tomorrow night. His numbers will dip when Bynum returns, but keep him on speed dial in case Bynum’s annual injury doesn’t coincide with Murphy’s.
.
Hedo Turkoglu, SF, Orlando Magic: Turkoglu was on the opposite page as Ryan Anderson. He had a modest start (eight points, three rebound, four assists, two steals, two three-pointers) and a big second game (23 points, six rebounds, four assists, three three-pointers). His scoring will fluctuate, but he’ll give you a solid across the board (particularly assists) numbers.
